Abstract:: The Daughters of America, still believed to be in existence, is a secret, nativist society dating from the late 19th century. The society, which was only open to white women of "good moral character," promotes extreme patriotism, the public school system, and the reading of the Bible in schools. The Lansdale, Pennsylvania chapter of the Daughters of America, Mary Lincoln Council No. 168, opened in 1934. The Mary Lincoln Council No. 168, Daughters of America (Lansdale, Pa.) minutes and officers' roll books consist of five minute books, 1934-1973 (with some gaps), and two officer's roll books, 1946-1966.
