The most important work to engage the attention of the state society
during the administration of Mrs. Perry was the erection of monuments on
the Oregon trail, and the accumulation of material for the present
volume of reminiscences. A large number of the regulation markers on the
Oregon trail were erected during this time; several special monuments
dedicated and others arranged for.
The thirteenth state conference was held in Omaha, March 17-19, 1915.
Mrs. Charles H. Aull of Omaha was elected state regent, and Mrs. E. G.
Drake of Beatrice vice-regent. Three chapters have been organized under
the present administration:
Capt. Christopher Robinson chapter, Crawford, June 16, 1915.
Butler-Johnson chapter, Sutton, June 17, 1915.
Three Trails chapter, Gothenburg, December 31, 1915.
At the present time plans are being formulated for marking the
California trail from Omaha and Florence along the north side of the
Platte river to the Wyoming line. This work will be carried forward by
the Daughters, through the agency of the Nebraska Memorial Association
of which the state regent is vice-president.
FINIS
"The moving Finger writes, and having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."
--_Omar Khayyam_
