Presque Isle DAR

We’d like to send a big thank you to all the members of the Presque Isle Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution and The Woman's Club of Erie for donating two large boxes of books for our children! There are so many great titles to choose from, including instructional books on art, several books from The Hardy Boys: Secret Files series and even a Harry Potter pop-up book. Thank you, Presque Isle Chapter DAR and The Woman's Club of Erie, for helping to ignite the love of reading among our children at Sarah Reed!
𝗙𝘂𝗻 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁: Did you know our foundress, Sarah A. Reed, was a founding member of the Presque Isle Chapter, DAR and one of its early regents?

Cleaning Real Daughter, Margaret Eleanor Johnson Hoppock’s, headstone this morning at Lakeside Cemetery in Erie, PA. Margaret’s father, Philip Johnson, served under George Washington as a Private at age 17 in 1781. He waited to marry until age 47, and proceeded to father between 9 and 12 children with his wife, Susannah Petit. Susannah was 16 years old when she married Philip. Margaret joined DAR at age 84, before her death at age 85. She is a Real Daughter: the daughter of a Revolutionary Patriot who was also a member of DAR.
