DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

KANISTEO VALLEY CHAPTER
Pages 142 thru 143


      Kanisteo Valley Chapter has 78 members. As its patriotic work the chapter contibuted the entire amount received from chapter dues to Continental Hall, $64.
     The chapter has also had printed and distributed to the other chapters throughout the state copies of the state law relating to the care of abandoned and country cemeteries by town boards. The law was enacted by a two-thirds vote of the legislature and signed by the governor April, 1901, but its existence as a statute seems to have been generally unknown  or overlooked. It is confidently expected that this action of the chapter will lead to the betterment of the present condition of pioneer and rural burying grounds generally, as well as being of special assistance to the Daughters of the American Revolution chapters in their efforts to reclaim and restore the forgotten and neglected resting places of our patriotic dead.
