Our new Indiana State Regent.....

The Mary Penrose Wayne Chapter was honored to hold a reception for our

chapter daughter Indiana State Regent Martha Barnhart. DAR members from all

over the State of Indiana came to celebrate with Martha as she started her

three year term. State Regent Barnhart (right) is pictured above with outgoing

Marking a Revolutionary War Patriot's Grave.....

During a tombstone transcription project, members discovered the grave of

Revolutionary War patriot William Berry. With nearly 100 DAR members,

dignitaries, local citizens and Berry descendants in attendance, a DAR marker

was placed on Pvt. Berry's grave at the Old Leo Cemetery.

The Indiana Sons of American Revolution, American Legion and Boy Scout

color guards led off the ceremony.

Honored guests included Congressman Mark Souder, Indiana DAR State Regent

Martha Barnhart and former SAR Vice President General Roger Barnhart.

Members of the Berry family were recognized and the marker was dedicated by

Regent Betsy Slagle, Chaplain Bunny Steyer and Treasurer Cindy Gravatt.
