CONSTITUTION
OF THE
Society of the Sons of the {^evolution
In the State of Colorado.

PREAMBLE.

Whereas, It has become evident from the decline of proper celebration
of such National holidays as the Fourth of July, Washington's Birthday,
and the like, that popular interest in the events and men of the War of
the Revolution is less than In the earlier days of the Republic; and
Whereas, This lack of interest is to be attributed not so much to lapse
of time as to the neglect on the part of descendants of Revolutionary heroes
to perform their duty of keeping before the public mind the memory of
the services of their ancestors, and of the times in which they lived, and
of the principles for which they contended;
Therefore, the Society of the "Sons of the Revolution" has been insti
tuted to perpetuate the memory of the men who, In military, naval or civil
service, by their acts or counsel, achieved American independence; to pro
mote and assist in the proper celebration of the anniversaries of Washing
ton's Birthday, the Battles of Lexington and Bunker Hill, the Fourth of
July, the Capitulations of Saratoga and Yorktown, the formal Evacuation
of New York by the British Army, on the 3rd of December, 1783, as a re
linquishment of territorial sovereignty, and other prominent events relating
to or connected with the War of the Revolution; to collect and secure for
preservation the manuscript rolls, records and other documents and mem
orials relating to that War; to Inspire among the members and their de
scendants the patriotic spirit of their forefathers; to inculcate in the com
munity in general sentiments of nationality and respect for the principles
for which the patriots of the Revolution contended; to assist in the com-

10
memorative celebration of other great historical events of national import
ance, and to promote social intercourse and the feeling of fellowship among
its members.

ARTICLE I.
Name of Society.
The Society shall be known by the name, style and title of THE SOCI
ETY OF THE SONS OP THE REVOLUTION IN THE STATE OF
COLORADO. ARTICLE II.
Membership.
Any male person, above the age of twenty-one years, shall be eligible
to membership in the "Sons of the Revolution" who is descended from an
ancestor, as the propositus, who, either as a military, naval or marine oflS-
cer, soldier, sailor, or marine, or official In the service of any one of the
thirteen original Colonies or States, or of the National Government repre
senting or composed of those Colonies or States, assisted in establishing
American Independence during the War of the Revolution between the 19th
day of April, 1775, when hostilities commenced, and the 19th day of April,
1783, when they were ordered to cease.
Provided, That when the claim of eligibility Is based on the service
of an ancestor In the "minute men" or "militia," it must be satisfactorily
shown that such ancestor was actually called into the service of the State
or United States, and performed garrison or field duty; and
Provided further. That when the claim of eligibility is based on the
service of an ancestor as a "sailor" or "marine," it must in like manner
be shown that such service was other than shore duty and regularly per
formed in the Continental Navy, or the Navy of one of the original thirteen
States, or on an armed vessel, other than a merchant ship, which sailed
under letters of marque and reprisal, and that such ancestor of the appli
cant was duly enrolled In the ship's company, either as an officer, seaman,
or otherwise than as a passenger; and
Provided further. That when the claim of eligibility is based on the
service of an ancestor as an "official," such service must have been per
formed in the civil service of the United States, or of one of the thirteen
original States, and must have been sufficiently important in character
to have rendered the official specially liable to arrest and imprisonment,
the same as a combatant, If captured by the enemy, as well as liable to
conviction of treason against the Government of Great Britain.

11
Service In the ordinary duties of a civil office, the performance of which
did not particularly and effectively aid the American cause, shall not con
stitute eligibility.
In the construction of this article, the Volunteer Aides de Camp of
General Officers in the Continental Service, who were duly announced as
such and who actually served in the field during a campaign, shall be com
prehended as having performed qualifying service.
The civil officials and military forces of the State of Vermont, during
the War of the Revolution, shall also be comprehended in the same manner
as If they belonged to one of the thirteen original States.
No service of an ancestor shall be deemed as qualifying service for
membership In the "Sons of the Revolution" where such ancestor, after
assisting In the cause of American Independence, shall have subsequently
either adhered to the enemy, or failed to maintain an honorable record
throughout the War of the Revolution.
No person shall be admitted unless he be eligible under one of the
provisions of this article, nor unless he be of good moral character and be
judged worthy of becoming a member. ARTICLE III.

ARTICLE X.
Expulsion or Suspension.
The Board of Managers shall have power to expel any enrolled mem
ber of this Society who, by conduct inconsistent with a gentleman and
a man of honor, or by an opposition to the interests of the community
in general or of this Society in particular, may render himself unworthy
to continue a member, or who shall persistently transgress, or, without
good excuse, wilfully neglect or fail in the performance of any obligation
enjoined by the Constitution or By-Laws or any standing rule of this
Society; Provided, That such member shall have received at least ten
days' notice of the complaint preferred against him, and of the time and
place for hearing the same, and has been thereby afforded an opportunity
to be heard In person.
Whenever the cause of expulsion shall not have involved turpitude
nor moral unworthiness, any member thus expelled may, upon the unani
mous recommendation of the Board of Managers, but not otherwise, be
restored to membership by the Society at any meeting.
The Board of Managers shall also have power to drop from the roll
the name of any enrolled member of the Society who shall be at least
two years in arrears in the payment of dues, and who, on notice to pay

22
the same, shall fail and neglect to do so within ten days thereafter, and
upon being thus dropped his membership shall cease and determine; but
he may be restored to membership at any time by the Board of Man
agers on his application therefor, and upon his payment of all such
arrears, and of the annual dues from the date when he was dropped to
the date of his restoration. The Board of Managers may also suspend any
officer from the performance of his duties for cause, which proceeding
must be reported to the Society and acted upon by it within thirty days,
either by rescission or removal of the suspended officer from office, or
otherwise the suspension shall cease.
ARTICLE XI.
Vacancies and Terms of Office.
Whenever an officer of this Society shall die, resign, or neglect to
serve, or be suspended, or be unable properly to perform the duties of his
office, by reason of absence, sickness, or other cause, and whenever an
office shall be vacant, which the Society shall not have filled by an elec
tion, the Board of Managers shall have power to appoint a member to such
office pro tempore, who shall act in such capacity until the Society shall
elect a member to the vacant office, or until the inability due to "suspen
sion, absence, sickness, or other cause" shall cease; Provided, however.
That the office of President or Secretary shall not be thus filled by the
Board of Managers when there shall be a Vice President or Assistant
Secretary to enter upon the duties of those offices respectively.
In like manner, the Board of Managers may supply vacancies among
its members under the same conditions and limitations; and in case any
member thereof, other than an officer, shall be absent from three consecu
tive meetings of the same, his place therein may be declared vacant by
the Board of Managers, and filed by an appointment which shall continue
in full effect until the Society shall elect a successor.
Subject to these provisions, all officers of the Society, and the mem
bers of the Board of Managers, shall, from the time of their election or
appointment, continue in their respective offices until the next Annual
Meeting, and until their respective successors shall be duly chosen.
ARTICLE XII.
Resignation.
No resignation or voluntary withdrawal of membership of any mem
ber enrolled in this Society shall become effective as a release from the

PENSIONS.

There were no National pension laws until the year 1818, excepting
for the relief of those disabled in the service. This act granted pensions
to those only who had served nine months or more in the Continental
Army or Navy (not to be confounded with the State troops. Militia or
Minutemen). Under this act about eight thousand applied for pensions,
which number so alarmed Congress that it passed. In 1820, what became
known as the "Alarm" act, which required that before the beneficiaries
of the act of 1818 could longer receive its benefits they must go before
some court and make a schedule of their property, and affirm that they
were in "need of the assistance of their country for a support."
The number of pensioners having become reduced. Congress in 1832
passed an act granting pensions to all officers and soldiers, whether Con
tinental, State or Militia, who had served for any period not less than six
months. The widows of Revolutionary soldiers drew pensions, provided they
were married prior to 1853, so that the military record of the soldier who
did not draw a pension himself can be found through the papers filed by
the widow.
The applicant can write the Honorable Commissioner of Pensions, at
Washington, asking if his ancestor was pensioned, and, if so, for a copy
of the ancestor's military history. There is no cost attached for obtaining
this data.
A mistaken idea prevails that there is on file in the Adjutant General's
office, complete Rosters of the soldiers of the Revolutionary War, and that
it Is only necessary to write to that department to obtain a record of the
ancestor's service. There are no complete rosters of the Revolutionary
soldiers In any department of the Government, nor anywhere else.
The records remaining in the different departments at Washington, con
taining the rosters of the Revolutionary soldiers, have been transferred
to the charge of Colonel P. C. Ainsworth, U. S. Army, Chief Record and
Pension Office, War Department, Washington, D. C, who will furnish

28

free of charge the record of any soldier whose name may be found on the
rolls in his office.
The applicant, in his request for information, must give the name of
the State his ancestor served from, also give the relationship of the ancestor
to the applicant, and the purpose for which he desires the information.
The Secretary of The Colorado Society makes no charge for an exam
ination of the volumes or documents in the library of the Society, and will
cheerfully assist applicants to obtain the proofs of ancestor's service.

FLAG PRESENTATION TO FIRST COLORADO VOLUNTEERS, 14th DAY OF MAV, ta9e

A Brief History of the Colorado Society.

Prizes.

At a meeting held June 15, 1892, the Society was permanently organized
and officers elected to serve until the next regular annual meeting to be
held February 22, 1893, on which date a goodly number of the members
met at the Brown Palace Hotel, Denver, and held their first annual
meeting, elected officers for the ensuing year, and partook of a dinner.
Since that time the Society has met regularly on the anniversary of
Washington's birthday, elected its officers, listened to reports and pa
triotic speeches, and a dinner or luncheon served to its members. These
meetings have always been social reunions of a patriotic nature, the
business portion occupying a small part of the time.
The Society has also held each year, on a Sunday evening occurring
nearest to the 22nd of February, a commemorative religious service con
sisting of a sermon, patriotic addresses and music, on which occasion
prizes are awarded to the successful contestants for prize essays.
At the first annual meeting was originated the plan, since so success
fully carried out, of offering prizes annually to the High Schools, Colleges
and seventh and eighth grade pupils of the State for the two most meri
torious essays bearing upon the history of the American Revolution.
The first prize Is a silver medal, the face being a fac-simile of the
seal of the Society; on the reverse, an appropriate inscription, with the
recipient's name. The medal is suspended by a buff and blue ribbon
(the Society's colors) from a silver bar, bearing the word "Colorado."
The second prize is a fac-simile of the first in bronze.
This plan has met with great favor In many other states, and has
been adopted by them with most satisfactory results.
The subject of the essay for 1893-4 was "The Causes That Led Up to
the War of the American Revolution." First prize, Edward L. Kraemer,
High School, District No. 2, Denver. Second prize, Chester Smith, High
School, District No. 1, Denver.
The subject for 1894-5 was "Alexander Hamilton — His Services in
the Revolutionary War, and in the Formation of the Constitution." First
prize, Florence L. Jones, Wolfe Hall, Denver. Second prize, Leota
Larimer, High School, District No. 2, Denver.
The subject for 1895-6 was "The Articles of Confederation and Federal
Union Adopted by the Continental Congress, July 9, 1778— Their Weakness
and Defects." First prize, Andrew S. Clark, Jarvis Hall, Montclair.
Second prize, Samuel H. Crosby, Grant High School, District No. 7, South
Denver. The subject for 1896-7 was "Foreign Aid to American Patriots in the
War of the Revolution." First prize, Joseph H. Gordon, High School,
Fort Collins. Second prize, Millie H. Betts, High School, District No. 2,
Denver. The subject for 1897-S was "The American Navy in the War of the
Revolution." First prize. Earl H. Smith, High School, District No. 2,
Denver. Second prize. Buna Pearl Kelly, High School, Colorado Springs.

31
The subject for 1898-9 was "The Heroes of the Revolution- Which
Two Merited the Greatest Fame?" First prize. Buna Pearl Kelly, Colo
rado Springs High School. Second prize, Meade McMechen, High School,
District No. 2, Denver.
The subject for 1899-1900 was "The Aid Rendered by Privateers in
the War of the Revolution."
The essays submitted have been many and have shown a high degree
of scholarship, and the Society feels that the result has been satisfactory.
Owing to this fact, the work of the committee in selecting the prize
winners has each year been difficult. In 1898 the Society decided to print
and publish the prize essays each year.
On Monday evening, December 4, 1893, the Society celebrated the Washington's
-.-.- Fflrcwdi to fiis
llOth anniversary of Washington's farewell to his officers, this being also offjj„-s
the tenth anniversary of the founding of the General Society. The chief
feature of the evening was an historical and most interesting address
by the late Thomas H. Edsall of Colorado Springs, who was one of the
founders of the General Society in 1883, and a member of the Colorado
Society. February 22, 1894, at the regular annual meeting of the Society at jJ^S Day,
the Albany Hotel, Denver, it was resolved to celebrate the coming 14th
day of June as Flag Day, and a committee, of which Mr. Ralph Voorhees
was chairman, was appointed to form and carry out a program. May 22,
1894, a committee was appointed to frame a bill to be presented to the
next General Assembly of the State of Colorado prohibiting the display
of any foreign fiag from any public buildings of the State, or from the
public buildings of any corporate municipality within the State. The
bill so framed became a law of the State. June 14, 1894, was the first
celebration of Flag D.tj^ by the Society. In the evening, at the Central
Presbyterian Church, Denver, a handsome silken flag was presented to
the Society by its first president, Hon. N. P. Hill, which was received by
the Society in an eloquent address by Hon. C. S. Thomas. This beautiful
emblem is one of the special treasures of the Society.
November 25, 1894, was the anniversary of the evacuation by the Evacuation
British from New York in 1783, and the Society celebrated this event on "^V' '°94-
Monday, the 26th, at the First Congregational Church, Denver. This was
a joint celebration with the Daughters of the Revolution. A special
feature was the presentation to the Society by Mrs. N. P. Hill of a
handsome gavel made of wild cherry cut from the Mt. Vernon estate,
mounted with Colorado silver and engraved "Sons of the Revolution."
February 22, 1895, on invitation of the Daughters of the Revolution, Entertainment,
the Society met at the house of Hon. N. P. Hill, where they were tendered '^95.
a most pleasing and elegant entertainment, consisting of music, patriotic
speeches and readings, together with a social reception and refreshments.

.32
Flag Day, June 14, 1895, the Society held its second anniversary of Flag Day at
1895. City Park, Denver. This proved to be the most enthusiastic demonstra
tion of its kind ever witnessed in Denver. It was the 118th anniversary
of the adoption by the Continental Congress of the stars and stripes as
our national emblem. Fully 20,000 children walked in procession beneath
the folds of "Old Glory," each carrying a flag. It was computed that
50,000 of Denver's citizens assembled in the park to do honor to the
occasion. The celebration was held jointly with the Daughters of the
Revolution and the Arapahoe County Sunday School Association. The
Roman Catholic, Hebrew and colored Sunday Schools heartily joined in
the celebration. It is but just to record that great credit must be
awarded to Mr. Ralph Voorhees, chairman of the committee, for his
untiling effort in making this celebration a complete success. It was a
day long to be remembered, especially by the children of the city.
"America," Prior to this and in March, 1895, Mr. Ralph Voorhees received from
1895. Mr. Samuel Francis Smith, the author of the hymn, "America," a fine
autograph copy of this hymn written March 13, 1895, the original of
which was composed and written in February, 1832. This copy is a
valued treasure of the Society, and withal timely, as the celebrated author
died November 16, 1895, at the age of eighty-seven. This autograph copy
has been stereotyped and copies were liberally distributed at our Flag
Day celebration. "While through the land his strains resound.
What added fame can love impart
To his, who touched the string that found
Its echoes in a nation's heart!"
Since then the Society has in like manner celebrated Flag Day on
June 14 at the City Park, Denver, and with great success. It has,
through the Society's efforts, become a day to which the children of the
city look forward with pleasure, and they enjoy it thoroughly. All
parents and children of whatsoever faith or color are cordially invited to
join with us in doing honor to the flag of our common country by their
presence at the park.
Entertainment, February 22, 1896, in the evening, at the Brown Palace Hotel, the
1896. Society tendered a notable entertainment to its members and to the
Daughters of the Revolution. A principal feature was the presentation
to the Society by our retiring president, Hon. James Benton Grant, of a
magnificent silken Society banner, borne by an oaken staff and sur
mounted by a golden eagle. The presentation speech in behalf of the
donor was by Henry Myron Blackmer of Colorado Springs, and the
banner was accepted on behalf of the Society in an appropriate speech
by William Henry Bryant. The music, speeches and social entertainment
were all of a high order, and not soon to be forgotten by those present.

33
On Wednesday evening, November 15, 1896, the Society, with other Evacuation
hereditary societies of Denver, celebrated Evacuation Day at Trinity Day, 1896.
Methodist Church, this being the 113th anniversary of the evacuation
of the British from New York. The exercises consisted of patriotic
speeches and music.
March 29, 1897, the Colorado Society was duly incorporated under Incorporation,
the laws of this State, articles being filed with the Secretary of State on '897.

February 22, 1898, the annual meeting was held and a dinner given Gifts, 1898.
at the Windsor Hotel, Denver, at which the newly-elected president, Mr.
John Cromwell Butler, presented four well-preserved parchment commis
sions containing the autograph signatures of G. Washington, Th. Jeffer
son, James Madison and James Monroe, Presidents, and of J. Knox, M.
Dearborn, W. Eustis and J. C. Calhoun, Secretaries of War of the United
States. Later Mr. Butler presented the Society with a fine steel plate
engraving of the Battle of Bunker Hill.
April 19, 1898, Lexington Alarm Day was celebrated by a social Lexington
gathering and a lunch at the Windsor Hotel, Denver. About forty Alarm Day,
members were present and brief speeches were made. '
December 21, 1898, the Society invited to Denver and entertained Reception to
Lieutenant Richmond Pearson Hobson, the hero of "Merrimac" fame. A j"'^"** ''•'bson,
reception was given at the Brown Palace Hotel, followed by a dinner, at
which the members of the Society had the pleasure of listening to an
address by Lieutenant Hobson and taking him by the hand. Toasts and
speeches relating to the Spanish-American war were the features of the
occasion. May 14, 1898, the occasion being the departure of the First Regiment Honors to Col-
Colorado Volunteers for the Philippines, the Society, in honor of the orado Soldiers,
re.giment, erected on the capitol grounds a large flag staff and attached '
a fine American flag, which was kept flying during the absence of the
regiment. Whenever, from time to time, news was received of the death
of any member of the regiment, the Society placed on the flag-staff a
memorial brazen tablet containing the name of the soldier and the date
of his death. Forty-six names have thus from time to time been placed
on this roll of honor.
Nine members of the Colorado Society volunteered for service in the Members in
war with Spain. Their names and rank are as follows: the War.
CHARLES HENRY ANDERSON, Major, First Regiment Colorado
A'^oliinteers. DAVID LAW FLEMING, Chaplain, First Regiment Colorado Volun

Fortunately the Society has not been called upon to mourn the loss
by death of any of the above members.
FlaC Presenta- May 14, 1898, the Society presented to the First Regiment, Colorado
tion Colorado Volunteers, a handsome silk flag, bearing on Its folds the words, "1st Regt.
Volunteers, Colorado Inf. Volunteers," and on its staff the words, "Presented by the
1898. Colorado Society Sons of the Revolution." The presentation took place
on the capitol grounds, Denver, amid a vast concourse of people, the
Regiment, about to leave for the Philippines, being present. The pre
sentation speech was by Vice-President Joel P. Vaile, and the flag was
received in behalf of the Regiment in an appropriate speech by its Colonel,
Irving Hale, who was afterwards created Brigadier-General. In the
course of his address these words, which received their fulflUment, were
uttered by Mr. Vaile: "The Colorado Society, Sons of the Revolution,
presents you this emblem of your country's honor and strength. We
expect to see it again, upon your return. To the physical eye its colors
may not then appear so brilliant as now. It may show the rents and
scars of battle. But we expect to see it radiant with a record of great
deeds, bravely done by noble men." We did indeed see this flag again,
or rather a remnant of It, when the Regiment returned and proudly
marched through the streets of Denver on the 14th day of September,
1899, with this tattered emblem borne aloft at its head. The flag was
torn by the enemy's shot and shell. But few stars were left and the
Imagination must supply many of the stripes. It received its baptism of
fire in the Philippines. In every battle and skirmish in which the Regi
ment was engaged, and they were many, this flag appeared at the head
of the column. When the Regiment, on its return, landed in this country
and marched through the streets of San Francisco, the ovation given to
this fiag by the people along the line of march was such as has been
rarely, if ever, witnessed. New and unsoiled flags of other regiments

?Membership in Society ceased Jannary, 1899.

35
were hardly noticed, while this ragged remnant was cheered to the echo.
A second ovation of like nature was accorded the flag when the Regiment
reached Denver, where a special detail of police was necessary to guard
its tattered folds from patriotic vandalism. This was the first American
flag raised within the limits of Manila. The following letter from
Brigadier-General Hale speaks for itself:
feZo.€o-r-ft.Xe 
H,^ •• *'^..ft„%ii,i„fl.,.n_ ; ^ p

The bearer of this flag, from the time it left Denver until the remnant
of it was returned, was Richard Holmes, nearly seven feet in height and
straight as an arrow. He many times escaped death as by a miracle.
The return and presentation to the State of this tattered ensign was a
most thrilling spectacle. It remains in the office of the Adjutant-General,
inclosed in a glass case.

36
Memorial Ser- On Sunday afternoon, September 17, 1899, thousands of Denver's
vices. patriotic citizens gathered on the State capitol grounds to take part in
the memorial services in honor of those soldiers who laid down their
lives in the Philippines. The exercises were under the auspices of the
Colorado Society and the following program was carried out:
Music  Band of First Regiment Infantry, Colorado Volunteers

Entertainment The memorial address by Rev. Thomas E. Green was a most eloquent
of the General ^jj^ masterful tribute to the prowess and bravery of the dead, and a well-
'' deserved encomium of the returning soldiers.
April 18, 19 and 20, 1899, the General Society, on invitation of the
Colorado Society, held its third Triennial Meeting in Denver. On the
18th the guests were given a carriage ride through the principal business
and residence portions of the city and to the Omaha and Grant Smelter.
In the evening the Daughters of the Revolution gave a reception to the
Colorado Society and guests at the house of Governor Charles S. Thomas,
which was a great success and largely attended.
April 19, 1899, the General Society held its regular Triennial business
meeting at, the Brown Palace Hotel. In the evening a banquet in the
ordinary of the hotel was tendered by the Colorado Society to the visiting
delegates. Of the menu it need only be said that it was worthy of the
Colorado Society. The large dining hall was handsomely decorated with
flags, bunting and flowers. Joel P. Vaile, Vice-President of the Colorado

37
Society, presided at this most distinguished assemblage, and acted as
toast-master. The addresses in response to toasts were most eloquent
and entertaining, and listened to with rapt attention.
April 20, 1899, the Colorado Society tendered to the visiting delegates
a railway trip by special train to Silver Plume and around the "Loop," of
which nearly all availed themselves.
Everything connected with the entertainment of the guests seemed to
be a success, and the Colorado Society received from its visitors many
expressions of gratitude for the pleasure given them.
Beginning in 1892 with nineteen members, the present roster Is one Conclusion.
hundred and seventy, a very satisfactory increase. The Society con
tinues to grow rapidly, and it is believed that large additions will yet be
made to its membership. By its works It has amply demonstrated its
right to live and to enjoy the favor of all right-thinking people. While
a spirit of patriotism and a high regard for the memory of our honored
ancestors shall continue, so long this Society will exist and flourish.
When these sentiments die, there will be no place for this, or any other
society.
