ence was made to Donegal, Ireland,
and the coming of the Scotch-Irish
to this country. The speaker told of
the many prominent men who came
from the founders of Donegal.
Many of them enlisted with Brad-
dock and quite a number served as
officers in different wars—including
the Revolution and French and In-
dian Wars. Too often historians
tell of the doings of the generals
but fail to refer to the work of the
privases. ' It was shown that a meet-
ing was held in Donegal church at
the time when Patrick Henry was
making his famous speech. Donegal
was first to send aid to Washing-
ton’s army and the speaker dwelt on
the officers of that army who were
furnished by Donegal. It was stated
that the blue of the national flag
was taken from the banner of the
Scotch covenanters. Dwelling on
the educational side of Donegal, Mr.
Groff urged a reverence of the name
of John Scott, who gave his entire
fortune for education and who lies
buried in the church graveyard. In
1732 Donegal Presbytery was form-
ed and its members outlined. The
speaker referred to the women who
mencement exercises of the Pennsy-
lvania Military Academy at Chester,
where Mrs. Breneman’s son Joseph
graduated.
