Scope and content
Mrs. B.F. Harrison, regent in 1933 of the Elizabeth Ellington chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. In March of 1936, the DAR chapter was celebrating its tenth anniversary. The chapter was named for a member of the English nobility, Lady Elizabeth Ellington who, during the American Revolution, laid aside her title and devoted herself to the American cause. She was the great aunt of Mrs. James W. Carr, wife of Judge James W. Carr of Bremerton. The chapter also dedicated itself to patriotic work. One of its most visible acts was to erect a marker in 1933 at the site of an old Indian fort, and later Kitsap County's first schoolhouse, in Manette. (Bremerton Sun 4/1/1936, pg. 1)
