Emily Hendree Stewart Park

[1] Also active in civic affairs, Park served as State Regent and Vice President General of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), as Vice President of the Georgia Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC), and as State Regent of the Confederate Memorial Museum at Richmond, Virginia.

[3] In January 1896, a few women, in response to notes from Mrs. Park, met at her house in Macon to organize a Chapter of the UDC.

Park declined the nomination for President because of the work devolving upon her as State Regent of the Confederate Museum at Richmond, which office she continued to hold till death.

From the day of her return to Atlanta, she became increasingly a power in the social, philanthropic, patriotic, and religious life of that city.

[1] After being stricken with paralysis, Emily Park died ten days later in Atlanta, Georgia, September 9, 1910,[1][3][2]
