Columbine Chapter No. 46
Order of the Eastern Star

Early in 1928, Sister Anna L. Knox, formerly of Colorado, thought it was proper to establish a chapter for the Order of the Eastern Star in Fairmount Heights, Maryland. The purpose was to have a sister chapter to Fairmount Heights, Maryland and to engage in the unified services to God and Man. On August 4, 1928, Columbine Chapter was organized with a membership of seventeen.
