January 18, 2025 marked the 85th Annual Meeting of the Harris Ferry Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution! The meeting was held at Wertzville Diner in Enola, PA and was well received. Agenda included a recap of Wreaths Across America 2024, a Genealogy Resources presentation from Pennsylvania State Genealogy Librarian Amy Woytovich, and a Cemetery Preservation & Restoration presentation from Chapter President Lemon.
There was quite a bit of interest from various Compatriots of cemeteries nearby in need of attention. The Chapter will try to compile a list of cemeteries that are in need of attention and analyze if assisting in restoration efforts are feasible. Mr. Leppard of neighboring Washingtonburg Chapter was particularly interested by these cemetery initiatives and expressed his Chapter’s willingness to participate and assist in Patriot Grave Marking. 2025 officers were sworn in by PASSAR 2nd Vice President Dale J. J. Leppard.
Harrisburg Chapter, NSDAR representative Dominish Miller was also
present, serving as the Escort for the Officer Ceremony. She also did
a phenomenal job photographing the event.
President Lemon is extremely excited for this new position and would like
to extend his deepest appreciation to everyone in attendance and to the
Chapter at large.
Harris Ferry Chapter SAR Attendees: (10) Curtis Aumiller, Denny Bobb, John Boyarski, Gary Coburn, Ronald Coleman, Jacob R. Lemon, Dan Lute, Ron Rife, Larry Snyder, Alan Wiest
