The United Daughters of the Confederacy is an organization which developed from local memorial, monument, and Confederate Home Associations to Camps of Confederate Veterans which were organized after the War for Southern Independence. It is the oldest patriotic organization in the United States because of it's connection with two State organizations which existed as early as 1890.

The Pamlico Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy was chartered on April 6, 1896. It was the second chapter to be organized in the State of North Carolina, and the forty-third in the Nation.

DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY

At a call from Miss E.B. Rodman and Miss E.M.B. Hoyt, there was a meeting of ladies in the Town Hall of Washington, North Carolina, January 27, 1896 for the purpose of organizing a Chapter of Daughters of the Confederacy. The organization was perfected in three meetings January 27, February 4, and February 10, 1896.

OBJECT OF THE ASSOCIATION

As the work of the memorial Associations is about completed, this Association is organized in the South for the preservation of relics of the Civil War; the collection of historical material bearing on that Conflict; interesting the young in the Cause; and keeping alive the memory of the heroism of the South during the trying years from 1861 - 1865. Parts of these objects have been accomplished by Memorial Associations in the last thirty years, but the principle aim of these Associations was the erection of monuments to the memory of those who laid down their lives for the land they loved so well. There was no concerted effort for the attainment of the other objects until the organization of the Daughters of the Confederacy.

The Chapter is to be called PAMLICO CHAPTER. The officers will be elected annually on General Lee's Birthday and the annual fee must be paid before that time. The officers are Mrs. General Grimes of Pitt, President; Miss E.B. Rodman, Vice President; Miss E.M.B. Hoyt, Corresponding Secretary; Mrs. C.M. Payne, Recording Secretary; Mrs. John Small, Treasurer; Miss J.J. Burbank, Historian.

An application was made to the Cape Fear Chapter for a charter. The Cape Fear Chapter is the State Charter Chapter and all charters must be obtained through that Chapter.

The Pamlico Chapter received its charter April 6, 1896. This Chapter is large and enthusiastic and gives promise of great results in the future.
