Constitution and By-Laws

Constitution of the Society of the Sons of the Revolution

In the State of Illinois

PREAMBLE

Whereas, it has become evident from the decline of proper celebration of such National holidays as the Fourth of July, Washington's Birthday and the like, that popular interest in the events and men of the War of the Revolution is less than in the earlier days of the Republic

And Whereas, this lack of interest is to be attributed not so much to lapse of time as to the neglect on the part of descendants of Revolutionary heroes to perform their duty of keeping before the public mind the memory of the services of their ancestors, and of the times in which they lived, and of the principles for which they contended Therefore, the Society of the "Sons of the Revolution" has been insti- tuted, to perpetuate the memory of the men, who in military, naval or civil ser- vice, by their acts or counsel, achieved American Independence ; to promote and assist in the proper celebration of the anniversaries of Washington's Birth- day, the Battles of Lexington and Bunker Hill, the Fourth of July, the Capitula- tions of Saratoga and Yorktown, the formal Evacuation of New York by the on the third of December, 1783, as a relinquishment of territorial sovereignty, and other prominent events relating to or connected with the War

of the Revolution ; to collect and secure for preservation the manuscript rolls,

records and other documents and memorials relating to that War ; to inspire among the members and their descendants the patriotic spirit of their forefathers to inculcate in the community general sentiments of Nationality and respect for

the principles for which the patriots of the Revolution contended ; to assist in the commemorative celebration of other great historical events of National im- portance, and to promote social intercourse and the feeling of fellowship among its members.

ARTICLE I name of society

The Society shall be known by the name, style and title, Society of "Sons OF the Revolution" in the State of Illinois.

[15] Illinois Society Sons of the Revolution

ARTICLE II MEMBERSHIP

Any male person, above the age of twenty-one years, shall be eligible to membership in this Society who is descended from an ancestor, as the propositus, who, either as a military, naval or marine officer, soldier, sailor or marine, or official in the service of any one of the thirteen original Colonies or States, or of the National Government representing or composed of those Colonies or States, assisted in establishing American Independence during the War of the Revolution, between the 19th day of April, 1775, when hostilities commenced, and the 19th day of April, 1783, when they were ordered to cease.

Provided: That when the claim of eligibility is based on the service of an

ancestor in the "minute-men" or "," it must be satisfactorily shown that such ancestor was actually called into the service of the State or United States and performed garrison or field duty; and

Provided further: That when the claim of eligibility is based on the service

of an ancestor as a "sailor" or "marine," it must in like manner be shown that such service was other than shore duty and regularly performed in the Continen- tal Navy, or the Navy of one of the original thirteen States, or on an armed vessel, other than a merchant ship, which sailed under letters of marque and reprisal, and that such ancestor of the applicant was duly enrolled in the ship's

company, either as an officer, seaman, or otherwise than as a passenger ; and

Promded further: That when the claim of eligibility is based on the service of an ancestor as an "official," such service must have been performed in the civil service of the United States, or of one of the thirteen original States, and must have been sufficiently important in character to have rendered the official specially liable to arrest and imprisonment, the same as a combatant, if captured by the enemy, as well as liable to conviction of treason against the Government of Great Britain.

Service in the ordinary duties of a civil office, the performance of which did not particularly and effectively aid the American Cause, shall not constitute

eligibility.

The civil officials and military forces of the State of , during the War of the Revolution, shall also be comprehended in the same manner as if they had belonged to one of the thirteen original States. No service of an ancestor shall be deemed as qualifying service for member- ship in this Society where such ancestor, after assisting in the cause of American

SECTION XI EXPULSION AND SUSPENSION

The Board of Managers shall have power to expel any enrolled member of this Society who, by a conduct inconsistent with a gentleman and a man of honor, or by an opposition to the interests of the community in general or of this Society in particular, may render himself unworthy to continue a member, or who shall persistently transgress, or, without good excuse, wilfully neglect or fail in the performance of any obligation enjoined by the Constitution or By-Laws or any standing rule of this Society.
