Elizabeth
Rector Buell Tent No. 19, Marietta, Ohio, was instituted April 20, 1903, by Bertha M. Martin,
a founder of DUVCW. There were 15 charter members. The Tent was named for the mother of
Captain Buell who served valiantly in the Union Army.
The main object of the Tent has always been keeping alive the memory of the Union Veterans of the Civil War. One member, Myrtle Best, was DUVCW National President. Two Ohio Department Presidents came from this Tent: Nora Thornton Perkins and Nancy Riley. Nancy is currently a member of the National Council. |
