Description:Excerpt from Hawaiian Society of the Sons of the American Revolution: Register for Nineteen Hundred and Twelve With Roll of Members and Their Revolutionary Ancestors, and Other Information of Interest to the Society The Hawaiian Society of the Sons of the American Revolution was organized June 17, 1895, on the anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, with only eighteen members. A constitution based upon that of the Massachusetts State Society was adopted, and the following officers chosen: Peter Cushman Jones, president; Albert Francis Judd, vice-president; John Effinger, secretary; William DeWitt Alexander, registrar; William Joseph Forbes, treasurer; board of managers, Rev. Douglas Putnam Birnie, John Walter Jones and Henry Weld Severance. The annual business meetings of the Society have ever since been held on the 17th of June. Since the organization of the Hawaiian Society there have been many celebrations of anniversaries of Revolutionary historical events. Some of the accounts of these celebrations have been taken from the minutes of the Society and others gathered from the files of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser, which, together with other Honolulu papers, has given prominent place in its columns concerning all the patriotic work of the Hawaiian Society. The one hundred and twenty-first anniversary of the Battle of Lexington was celebrated (April 19, 1896) at the home of Chief Justice Albert Francis Judd. After an invocation by Rev. Douglas P. Birnie, Hon. Peter Cushman Jones, president of the Society, delivered an address upon the significance of the day in which the patriotic sires of those present had made the stand against the troops of King George. Hon. Albert Francis Judd, vice-president, was the next speaker, followed by Mrs. W. W. Hall's rendition of Longfellow's poem, "Paul Revere's Ride," which was greeted with applause. Mrs. Henry Castle then spoke interestingly on "Lexington One Hundred Years After." This town has been Mrs. Castle's home, and she described the great ceremonies at the one hundredth anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord when President U. S. Grant and thousands of Americans wended their way to this liberty spot. Though but a child at that time, Mrs. Castle remembered the dreary, drizzling day and the great crowds that thronged the village on that auspicious day. The old house in which Paul Revere had his interview with John Hancock and Samuel Adams was described, and although still inhabited was being pulled down right on the heads of the dwellers therein by patriotic relic hunters. Marble slabs mark the spots of interest around these historic towns and the annual recurrence of the 19th of April brings a concourse of people from all over the East to Concord and Lexington to view again the place where our forefathers laid down their lives for liberty. Mrs. Castle was at Lexington a year ago and found the place thronged on that day with sightseers. All through Massachusetts and in all the older States markers have been placed by the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution on the spots where great events occurred in the War of the Revolution. - Advertiser. The Surrender of Cornwallis was celebrated by the Society on Monday evening (October 19, 1896) at the Y. M. C A. building, and was attended by many of Honolulu's prominent men and women. The decorations were handsome, the American colors predominating, with a beautiful setting of flowers and plants.
