The ladies of the Lone
Pine Tree Chapter of the
Daughters of the American
Revolution (DAR) mus-
tered for another regular
monthly meeting to discuss
a variety of topics, in the
northeastern Sunridge
Room, of the Sunridge
Inn Restaurant, at noon on
Friday, March 10, 2017.
Chapter Regent Me-
schelle Cookson called
the meeting to order,
welcomed attendees, and
introduced herself, which
was followed by introduc-
tions from the rest of the
present group. Cherlyne
Allen led in recitation of
the Pledge of Allegiance,
as well as the American’s
Creed. Cookson explained
Chapter Chaplain Wilma
Johnson’s absence, and the
Invocation was provided
by Chapter Vice Regent
Roberta Morin.
Lillian Densley gave
a very informative pre-
sentation regarding her
Revolutionary ancestors,
“The Saga of the Family
of See,” originally with
the surname of Zeh (later
changed to See), George
and wife Margaret, with
son, Frederick, who emi-
grated from Germany to
the Mowhawk Valley, New
York, in 1712, moved to
Pennsylvania, and eventu-
ally settled in Hampshire
County, West Virgina.
Concluding her detailed
presentation about the
See family’s history and
descendants, Densley said,
“My Revolutionary ances-
tors—a straight line—are
James Johnson, and Peter
Shumaker.” Along with
applause, members of the
group expressed praise
for Densley’s thorough
presentation.
The group reviewed the
minutes from the Friday,
February 10, 2017 meet-
ing, and they were ap-
proved, with a motion
from Morin, and a second
from Allen, and Treasurer
Shirley Simmons provided
a Treasurer’s Report.
After explaining some
details, she said the
The
fi nal Chapter balance was
$4,146.81, and the report
was approved, with a
motion from Joan Smith,
and a second from Morin.
Invoices to submit for pay-
ment were also approved.
Items for the Final Chap-
ter Budget for 2017 were
detailed, which included a
variety of expenses, such

window displays at the
Enterprise, La Grande, and
Baker City libraries.
Cookson said that the
126th Continental Con-
gress national DAR meet-
ing, at DAR Headquarters
in Washsington, D.C., is
scheduled for June 28,
through July 2, 2017. The
annual national meeting
is named after the original
Continental Congress that
governed the American
Colonies, and attracts
more than 3,500 members
to D.C., each summer,
according to information
provided by DAR. Cook-
son also mentioned the
online publication National
Defender.
Chapter Registrar Lynne
Zwanziger said that Chap-
ter membership is up to 50
now. This includes a fi rst
for the Chapter—the in-
duction of Portland-based
Lois Steele via telephone,
which was arranged by
her daughter and new
Chapter member Bonnie
Rux, of Baker City. This
was submitted by Chapter
Historian/Public Relations
Offi cer Dorothy Robert-
son, and included in the
“Chapter Chatter” section
of the Spring 2017 issue of
the Oregon State Society
Daughters of the American
Revolution (OSSDAR)
publication, Patriot Press.
Also included in the issue
was this, from American
History Committee State
Chair Eleanor Fuhrer,
which Cookson read: “Or-
egon’s winning essays are
now with the NW Division
chair for the next round of
judging. Worth mention-
ing--one chapter reported
receiving 73 entries this
year (Allen said, during
the meeting, there were 78
entries). Way-to-go LONE
PINE TREE CHAPTER!”
Chapter Programs
Offi cer Carol Guthrie
announced recipients of
the Good Citizen awards,
which includes Burnt River
High School’s Daniel Is-
enberger (Morin expressed
delight upon hearing this),
and Baker High School’s
Corrine Wilson. Morin
mentioned that Isenberger
is a member of the Burnt
River Chapter of the
Future Farmers of America
(FFA), and that the Burnt
River FFA banquet will be
in Unity, on Wednesday,
April 5.
Zwanziger spoke about
the Chapter’s window dis-
play, at the Baker County
Library (directly to the left,
upon entering the library,
from the Resort Street
double door entrance), and
she passed around pic-
tures of the effort and the
display.
Cookson discussed
the State Conference, in
Wilsonville, May 18-22,
2017, and she asked for
nominations for delegates
to attend the event. Smith,
Guthrie, and Cookson were
nominated, with a motion
from Morin, and a second
from Allen.
As part of Chapter by-
laws review of travel reim-
bursement and correction,
it was discussed whether
$150 per trip (which is in
the by-laws) should remain
the set amount, or possibly
increased to $200. The
amount of $150 was ap-
proved, with a motion from
Morin, and a second from
Smith.
Included in a discussion
regarding future Chapter
agenda items, Cookson
mentioned the District Five
