Bartlesville Society
Children of the American Revolution
Reorganized in 2016
The National Society of the Children of the American Revolution was founded in 1895. Its purpose was to train good citizens, develop strong leaders, and promote love of the United States and its heritage. Bartlesville’s original Society of the C.A.R. was started in 1926. It was called the Bartlesville Society of the Children of the American Revolution, its president was Miss Martha Seem, and the society lasted for three years. On October 19, 1958, the Senior President of the Oklahoma C.A.R., Mary A. Rudy, spoke to the Bartlesville Daughters of the American Revolution about organizing a C.A.R. society in Bartlesville. Then in 1963, a C.A.R. society was reorganized as the Martha Watts Society with Mrs. John A. Favre as Organizing President. However, in 1969, the society went on an inactive list and later disbanded. On October 18, 2015, registrar and member of the Bartlesville Chapter, National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Lynette Thompson, started the reorganization of the original C.A.R. Society. On October 18, 2016, the National Society of the C.A.R. approved the reorganization of the society, which is known once again as the Bartlesville Society of the Children of the American Revolution. In one year the Society has acquired 21 members, with 13 of those being lifetime members!
C.A.R. trains good citizens, develops strong leadership skills, and promotes love of the United States of America and its heritage among young people.
