Federated 1917
Meets first and third Mondays

The purpose of this Society is to promote an interest in the collection and preservation of historical objects, and scientific and literary records pertaining to the History of California.

The Historian of the Society, Mrs. W. A. LIMBAUGH, reports the following work done by the club:

At the Outside Inn, near the Presidio, a home sponsored by the Federation of the City and County of San Francisco Clubs, for the parents or relatives of the sick and disabled Army or Navy men, the
daughters of California Pioneers furnished a room completely with new bedroom furniture, a large rug, shades and curtains and all the necessities that make a room comfortable for the visitor.

The Daughters have published a Roster of the members and the name of each member's father, thus perpetuating the memory of those brave men who came here before 1850 and made our state the great state it is.

This book is of historical value and the Congressional Library, Washington, D. C., requested, and now has, one on file. The Historical Library of Madison, Wisconsin, and the Historical Survey Commission of Berkeley, California, requested and received copies. The Roster was published in 1917. The Daughters also report much Red Cross work done during the late war, also one hundred bound volumes donated to the San Francisco hospitals. Representatives have been sent by the Daughters to each meeting of the Old Mission Restoration Committee and will assist in the new movement to restore and preserve the Old Missions of the State.
