United Daughters of the Confederacy
- The United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC), is an organization
made up 
of
ladies who have an ancestor who either fought in the War
Between the States or served in the Confederacy in some
capacity during the war. Education is and has always been
a priority with the United Daughters of the Confederacy
(UDC). The Annabella Drummond McMath Scholarship was established
to provide women over the age of thirty with the opportunity
to continue their education.
There is at this time, only one chapter in Fayette. Until
a few years ago, there were two chapters. However, many
of the members are deceased and due to the fast paced lifestyle
of today, many of our young women do not have the time to
be active in the organization. The remaining chapter of
the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) is called
"Stars and Bars". It was organized March 25, 1959
and was chartered on August 31, 1959.
On local levels, memorial observances are held annually
to remember not only the men who served in the War Between
the States, but veterans of all wars.
Meetings for the organization are held every 3rd Tuesday
evening of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the home of a member.
"Stars and Bars" motto is "A Quenchless Star,
Forever Bright".
