Sarah Treat Prudden Chapter was
organized June 17, 1913, at the home of its first
Regent, Marion Van Epps Selden Clancey (Mrs. James H. Clancey).
The Charter was presented in June,
1914, with thirty members enrolled as Charter members.
The name of Sarah Treat Prudden,
wife of Captain Fletcher Prudden and great-granddaughter
of Governor Robert Treat who presided over the Charter
Oak Assembly, was chosen. Perhaps this was because
two-thirds of the members traced their ancestry to a
Connecticut Patriot.
Helen Prudden Cady (Mrs. G.V.L. Cady), a devoted
organizing member, was a descendant of Sarah Treat
Prudden.
Our Chapter has monthly meetings
except in July and August. We vary the meeting time and
places to accommodate the busy schedules of our members
and prospective members. Each regular meeting includes
the President General’s Message, officer and committee
reports, and a Historical, Patriotic, Educational, or
National Defense program.
