Chapter members at the October 2021 district meeting.
On November 3, 2019, the Daniel Chapman Chapter, NSDAR, placed a plaque
honoring the life and service of the chapter namesake, Daniel Chapman,
on his grave at the Vienna Fraternal Cemetery.
On Veterans Day each year, the Daniel Chapman Chapter, NSDAR,
participates in the Johnson County Veterans Day program honoring
veterans from throughout the county.
An
information panel at the Michael Wolff Memorial Wetland in the Cache
River State Natural Area was dedicated on September 26, 2010. The
wetland panel and five new trees in the area were funded by the
Illinois State DAR Organization. The wetland is in memory of Michael
Wolff, a young man who had spent time in the Cache River area. Before
dying, he expressed a wish for a place “where the ducks would come.”
His family formed the foundation and with the help of Jim Waycuilis and
the Department of Natural Resources, the wetlands were reclaimed. It is
now a place that attracts wildlife in an area accessible to the public.
Following the dedication, a reception was held at the Barkhausen State
Wetland Center. Members of the NSDAR chapters Daniel Chapman, Fort
Masaac, and Daniel H. Brush assisted in the event.
