The United Daughters of the Confederacy is an organization that honors ancestors fought in the Civil War. The Edgecombe County chapter of the UDC was formed November 21, 1902. This group chose to name themselves the William Dorsey Pender Chapter, after General William Dorsey Pender. He was the youngest general in the Confederate army. Their first president was Mrs. Henry C. Bourne and they had twenty-five charter members. Within this group, there was an Edgecombe County chapter for children. The children's group was named the Dixie Lee Chapter. It was formed February 6, 1906. One of their projects was getting the Henry Wyatt fountain placed on the Town Common. They also put together a scrapbook in 1907. This book contains newspaper articles, photographs, and various other materials.
