From the Lancaster Eagle Gazette: SAR honors Utley with flag, certificate
LANCASTER -- The Hocking Valley Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution ( SAR ) recently honored Mrs. Fran Utley, of Lancaster, in a special ceremony during the Georgian's Lancaster Festival Tea.
An American Flag and certificate were presented by SAR President, Keith Kaufman, to Mrs. Utley, for four decades of distinguished and dedicated service to the Fairfield Heritage Association as a volunteer, curator, and benefactor.
She and her husband, George, were among the first members of the Fairfield Heritage Association and were responsible for overseeing the Georgian Museum's restoration beginning in 1972.
The U.S. flag presented to Mrs. Utley was flown over the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. on April 15, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. George Utley's Seventieth Wedding Anniversary. Following the presentation, Mrs. Utley received a warm applause from all attendees.
