Chapter History
Lovely Purchase Chapter was named for Major William Lovely, a veteran of the Continental Army of the Revolution. In 1813, he was dispatched from Tennessee where he was Assistant to the United States Agent to the Cherokees. In 1816, he persuaded the Osage Indians to give up over three million acres of their land to the Cherokees. The area included most of Northwest Arkansas, of which present day Bella Vista is a part. It became known as Lovely Purchase.
The Chapter's organizing meeting was held on April 9, 1984, with fifteen members. Our chapter was granted on June 26, 1985, with nineteen charter members. The Organizing Regent was Mrs. Wayne Packer.
