The family plot of the A. M. Johnson family
The new marker
The Judge David Campbell held a Member Grave Marking Ceremony at Forest Hills Cemetery. A granite marker was installed on the family plot of the A. M. Johnson family. It recognized the four members of the Johnson family who were organizing members of the chapter in 1915; none of them had the DAR insignia on their gravestones.
Recognized were Helen Johnson Flower, organizing regent, and organizing members, Sue Cleage Johnson, Thankful Johnson Davies and Annie Johnson Betts.
The grave marking was the New Horizons Capstone project of Second Vice Regent Marie Wingate.
Attending were Charlotte Reynolds, state regent; Emily Robinson, state second vice regent; Pam McConnell, state corresponding secretary; Jill Jones-Lazuka, state chaplin; and Linda Moss Mines, state historian. Susan Thomas, national vice president general, and members of the JDC Chapter and a member of the Nancy Ward Chapter were also in attendance.
After a short program and tribute to the organizing members the marker was unveiled.
