🕯️🇺🇸 Remembering Abigail Adams 🇺🇸🕯️
On October 28, 1818, Abigail Adams passed away at the family home, Peacefield, in Quincy, Massachusetts. She was 73 years old.

Abigail’s wisdom, courage, and intellect made her one of the most remarkable women of the American founding era. Through her hundreds of surviving letters, we see a woman of deep conviction—one who managed a family and farm during war, advised her husband through the Revolution and presidency, and advocated passionately for the education and equality of women.

“Remember the ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors.”
—Abigail Adams to John Adams, March 31, 1776

Abigail’s legacy lives on in her words and in the enduring example of her life—marked by resilience, intellect, and love of country.

The Jemima Boone Chapter has placed a display at the Richmond Branch of the Madison County Library to commemorate the 140th anniversary of the dedication of the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty was officially dedicated on October 28, 1886. It was constructed from 1875-1884 in France, disassembled and shipped to New York in 1885, where it was reassembled atop its pedestal. It was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States.

To honor the anniversary of DAR’s founding on October 11th, Chapters and individuals are encouraged to engage in meaningful service projects in their communities each year on or around October 11th. The Jemima Boone Chapter elected to focus on a service project to honor our Madison County Veterans Group. The chapter provided breakfast to the group on Friday, October 2nd. A patriotic rag flag and an America 250! quilt, handcrafted by chapter members along with a letter of appreciation for their service was presented to the veterans.

The veterans were very appreciative of the chapter’s thoughtfulness. The chapter enjoyed a wonderful time of fellowship with the group.

Daniel Boone died "when the sun was half an hour high" on September 26, 1820 in his 86th year, having been born October 22, 1734. He died with daughter, Jemima, holding one hand and son, Nathan, the other. He spoke to them up to his last breath. "I am going," and finally, "my time has come." Those were his last words.

Word of his death spread rapidly. The funeral was held two days later at Jemima's home. The crowd was too large for the house so services were held in the barn around back. After the services the procession began along the road to the burying ground on a knoll a mile north, with young Jimmie Bryan mounted on a horse in the lead, holding an American flag. Boone was buried next to his wife, Rebecca, on September 28 in Missouri. He and Rebecca were reinterred in the cemetery in Frankfort, KY in 1845.

To kick off its annual Constitution Week activities, the Jemima Boone Chapter placed a display at the Richmond Branch of the Madison County Library. A variety of free patriotic items were made available to the public.

Members of the chapter participated in the Clark Moores Middle School Constitution Fair. The 8th grade students created informational Constitution posters. The 6th and 7th grade students visited each station as well as the Jemima Boone Chapter stations that featured information about “America 250!” and “Constitution Week”. 6th graders participated in a special program on the “Ringing of the Bells.” Gift bags containing a copy of the Constitution were gifted to the 8th graders by the Chapter. Constitution Minutes were provided to the school to share during their morning announcements. Thank you to Constitution Committee Co-Chairs, Debbie Parsons and Andrea Hunt for coordinating this event.

Jemima Boone partnered with the Boonesborough and Berea-Laurel Ridges Chapters to present a Constitution Event at the Madison County Courthouse on September 17th. City of Richmond Mayor, Robert Blythe presented a Constitution Week Proclamation on behalf of the City and the Madison County Fiscal Court. Those in attendance participated in a Bells Across America activity by ringing bells while Madison County Clerk, Kenny Barger rang the courthouse bell at 4pm. A Constitution Week banner was placed on the lawn of the courthouse.

Jemima Boone also provided Constitution spot announcements to a local radio station to be used over Constitution Week. Another successful Constitution Week filled with events educating the community on the importance of our Nation’s Constitution!
