Mahoning Chapter, NSDAR
The Mahoning Chapter, NSDAR, was organized on April 18, 1893, by Mrs. Rachel Wick Taylor. Mrs. Wick, on that memorable occasion, met with a small group of women in the H. K. Wick log cabin in Youngstown, Mahoning County, Ohio. The log cabin was on the site of the land purchased by Caleb Baldwin, a soldier of the American Revolutionary War and one of the first settlers of Youngstown. The cabin was built by his descendant H. K. Wick.
Like all pioneer movements, there were many difficulties to be met; but through the capable management and foresightedness of the founder, the Mahoning Chapter, NSDAR, was accepted as the second chapter organized in the state of Ohio and the sixty-fourth in the National Society. A charter was granted on February 10, 1894.
