History
of the College
Hill Chapter
Augusta, Georgia
In
1976, Ruby McCrary Pfadenhauer
was appointed Organizing
Regent by the State Board of Management, Georgia Society, National
Society
Daughters of the American Revolution. Her
mission was to find no less than twenty-five DAR members wishing to
become the
organizing body of a new DAR Chapter in Augusta,
Georgia. She
invited members from her church, Augusta
College
faculty and faculty wives in
addition to inviting sixty other individuals to submit their
applications to
join DAR.
Of
the total invited, thirty-six
agreed to formulate a new
Chapter to be known as “College Hill Chapter”.
The name “College
Hill” was selected and approved because that was the
name which George Walton, one of the signers of the Declaration of
Independence
for Georgia, had given to his summer home located in or near the area
known as
“Summerville”.
An
Organization Meeting was held on
October 13, 1976 at the
home of Organizing Regent, Mrs. Herman Pfadenhauer, 721 Monte Sano Avenue,
Augusta,
Georgia
with
a tea honoring Mrs. Hugh Peterson, State Chaplin, Georgia Society,
NSDAR.
The College Hill Chapter of 36
members was unanimously
approved by the National Board, NSDAR effective October 15, 1976.
