The Four Rivers Chapter Georgia Society Sons of the American Revolution held its monthly meeting, Thursday night, August 17, 2023, at the Chatters Restaurant Lyons, at 6 p.m. With President George King presiding, there were 14 in attendance. After the invocation, and the Pledge to the U.S. Flag and the Pledge to the SAR, President George King called on Dual Member Dess Smith III to introduce our speaker for the evening. Compatriot Smith introduced Larry Stephens, who for the last two years has been living in Savannah, to present his program, "The Hornets' Nest, Wilkes County - 1700's". Stephens talked about the difficulties of moving to the area between the Broad River, Savannah River and the Oconee River during the 1700's. Not only did they have to make do with what was available to them in the wild, but they had to defend themselves against the Creek and Cherokee Indians. President King then called on Chaplain and dual member Emory Fennell to lead members in the SAR Recessional and benediction.
