The Old Walton road Chapter was chartered on April 12, 1930, and the first meeting was held at the home of Mrs. S. Hayden  Young on April 17, 1930, in Cookeville, Putnam County, TN. Mrs. Clara Cox Epperson was the Organizing Regent. 

Mrs. Epperson was a celebrated author, poet, and teacher, once named Poet Laureate of Tennessee, and was active in local civic and literary organizations. In 1920 she was Book Chairman for the Book Lovers Club which established the Putnam County Library in 1923. The library was originally named the Clara Cox Epperson Library in her honor.

Projects of this chapter over the years have included a strong focus on education and encouragement of our children to be interested in our country's history and accomplishments of her patriots. We continue to provide  American History, Good Citizens, and ROTC awards every year.
