All descendants of Rev. Charles and Cassandra Pennington are cordially invited to attend a DAR Grave Marking Ceremony on Saturday, September 24, 2005. We will be meeting at Otterbein Cemetery, at 1:30 CDT and will have a brief reception following the ceremony. Otterbein is located just West of Westfield, IL, North off the Charleston-Westfield Road on CR 2480E. While Rev. Pennington has been a recognized DAR Patriot for many years, his grave was never officially recorded and marked by the DAR. After submitting the appropriate paperwork, the National Society has granted permission to place these markers. The ceremony will be conducted by the Governor Edward Coles—Sally Lincoln Chapter, NSDAR, Mattoon, Illinois. Anyone descending from JOEL CONNELY (1788-1855) and Effie Pennington (1787-1875 and d. of Rev. Charles & Cassandra Pennington) is especially welcome. Please make plans to attend this important ceremony and to help us honor these Revolutionary War Patriots.
