New C. A. R. Society Officially Organizes in Coral Gables Tomorrow

"Tequesta" Society, Children of the American Revolution, will be officially organized Saturday afternoon at the home of the organizing president, Mrs. James Sottile, Sr., 1533 Northwest 9th Street, Miami. The meeting will begin promptly at 2:30. The Coral Gables Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, was prompted to sponsor this new C. A. R. society, when last spring it was discovered that Linda Louise Sottile, granddaughter of Mrs. Sottile, was the great-great granddaughter of a pioneer to Florida. Mrs. Wade Livingston Street, regent of the Coral Gables Chapter, then appointed Mrs. Sottile organizing president, and this appointment was confirmed by the National C. A. R. board in Washington. To help with the formation of this new group, an advisory board consisting of members of the Gables D. A. R. was then appointed by Mrs. Street. Before the organization could take place, the applications of the twenty-two initial members had to be submitted to the C. A. R. National Board for approval. A list of appropriate names, one of which to be approved for the society, had also to be submitted to the national board. All of these names had to be of historical significance and of a period preceding 1825. The name "Tequesta" was chosen by the board. It was selected because of its historical and romantic significance to early Florida. Even before the Spaniards reached the shores of Florida, the village of Tequesta stood on Biscayne Bay, near the mouth of the Miami River. Though history records few facts of this Indian village and its inhabitants, reference to both occur frequently in early legends and stories. Mrs. James Carson, author of "Fabulous Florida," suggested "Tequesta" as a name for the new society and she had been invited to attend the organizational meeting and tell the children about the life and habits of these aborigines. At this first meeting the Coral Gables Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution will present through its regent an American flag to Tequesta Society. Another gift to the new organization is a silver-banded gavel with the inscription "Presented to Tequesta Society, C. A. R., by organizing president, Mrs. James Sottile, Sr.". One of the most important events of the afternoon will be the installation of officers by Mrs. Malcolm Merrick, Florida state vice-president, C. A. R. Officers who will be installed are: Jessica Wilkerson, president; Thacker Seldern, vice-president; Leah Sullivan, recording secretary; Nancy Wilkes, corresponding secretary; Helen Giersch, treasurer; Shirley Carter Beard, registrar; Martha Bentz, chaplain; Helen Foster, historian, and Linda Louise Sottile, color guard. Mrs. Merrick will also tell the story of the American flag and of the individual stars and stripes in it. Members of the advisory board assisting Mrs. Sottile are Mrs. Street, Miss Helen Grace Warner, Florida state treasurer, D. A. R., Mrs. George W. Wood, Mrs. Leslie Lide and Mrs. Roy H. Evans.
