Mrs. Norman V. Randolph Relief Fund

The United Daughters of the Confederacy remain the only lineal organization in America to fund a benevolent program designed to care for needy women. The Mrs. Norman V. Randolph Relief Fund was established in 1910 and remains our greatest benevolent effort, nationwide. Fully funded by private donations, the plan supplements the incomes of needy Confederate Real Daughters (daughters born to Confederate Veterans). In the 1990's, Texas has led the nation in funding this benevolent program.

Brief History of Janet Henderson Randolph

Janet Henderson Randolph was born April 28, 1848. She is perhaps the most well known of any UDC Member. She established the Norman V. Randolph Relief Fund to aid Confederate widows who needed assistance. At the beginning of the War Between the States, her father joined Co. K, Virginia Infantry. She and her mother set up a hospital in their home to help the sick and wounded of the war. In 1880, she married Norman V. Randolph. On January 28, 1896, she organized the first UDC Chapter in Richmond, Virginia. She served as its President for 31 years. She died in 1927 at the age of 79, and is buried in Shockoe Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia.
