Chapter History

In 1905 an invitation was extended to all persons interested in forming an Eastern Star chapter to meet at the Mealy home to discuss such plans. As a result of this meeting, Wesley Hull wrote to the Worthy Grand Matron petitioning that an Eastern Star Chapter be instituted in Parkersburg.
On June 15, 1905, Parkersburg Chapter No. 14 was instituted. Among those present at this meeting was Sallie Kneeream, donor of the Eastern Star Home in Millwood, West Virginia.
The meetings were held in the Masonic Rooms located on Juliana Street, near Fifth, without charge. The Charter was granted October 4, 1905, with 104 Charter members.
John S. McKown, E. A. Whitney and W. S. Stille compiled the first By-Laws. They were approved by W. E. Krupp, Worthy Grand Patron, Joanna Bishop and Clara Jamison, Grand Chapter Officers, on October 4, 1905. Through the untiring efforts of Ida Whitney, the first piano was purchased.
Clara Edna Chapter No. 140 was chartered October 3, 1946. In Parkersburg and merged with Parkersburg No. 14 in 1999.
