"Miss
Lizzie" McEachern Brown, at the tender age of 109, was asked to join
an organization that is just a few years younger than she.
The United
Daughters of the Confederacy was officially organized in 1894. The Frankie
Lyle Chapter 2074 was organized in Jonesboro in 1934 and recently accepted
an application from Brown for membership.
Her father,
Pleasant Marion McEachern, served in the War Between the States from Fayette
County, joining Company I, 10th Regiment, Georgia Volunteer Infantry in
April 1862. He was 16 years old.
"We are
very privileged," said President Linda Robinson, "to accept
this application. It is an honor to personally get to know a "real
daughter."
