Bonnie Glascow; Sheila H.Davis, state regent; Ellen Westfall; and Elizabeth Adams celebrate the 100th anniversary of the William Capers Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Members of the William Capers Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) met on Columbus Day, October 12, 2005, at the home of Elizabeth Adams. Members wore hats and gloves, some of the time period when the chapter began.

The William Capers Chapter of the DAR was organized in 1905 by Mrs. Mary Videau Capers Satterlee. The members have endeavored to continue the ideals upon which the chapter was begun. They are assiduous in promoting interest in the history of our country, in supporting Tamassee, and in contributing not only to DAR projects but to those of civic interest as well. Members have attended naturalization ceremonies; have placed exhibits in schools, libraries, and bookstores during National History Month; have sponsored memberships in the Children of the American Revolution; and have presented flags to the high schools in the city. In addition, the chapter has given to the South Carolina Archives a list of 63 graves of Revolutionary War soldiers located in the vicinity of Columbia.

The officers of the William Capers Chapter of the DAR are Ellen Moss Westfall, regent; Pat Phillips Ethridge, vice regent; Faye James Pender, chaplain; Margaret Ellen Pender, recording secretary; Faye James Pender, corresponding secretary; Marian Anne Crum–Mack, treasurer; Verd Anna Craig Cunningham, registrar; Mary Ruth Cribbs, historian; and Eloise Cook Champion, librarian.
