This small, heart-shaped pendant measures approx. 1” x ¼” in size, with a delicate link chain which is 10” in length measuring from the clasp to the pendant. Overall in very fine condition, some tarnish to the pendant. At center is a side bust portrait of Varina Anne “Winnie” Davis, daughter of CS President Jefferson Davis, with her name underneath (WINNIE DAVIS).

Lettering on the pendant reads, “UNITED / CONFEDERATE VETERANS / REUNION / MAY 7-8-9 / MACON, GA. 1912”.

Varina Anne "Winnie" Davis was the sixth and last child born to Confederate President Jefferson Davis and his wife Varina Howell Davis, and one of his two children to be born in the Brockenbrough/Davis Mansion (better known by its modern name, "The Confederate White House"). Winnie would be nicknamed "The Daughter of the Confederacy" by John Brown Gordon after the Civil War, and became an inspiration for the name of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Winnie was active in veterans reunions and as a public speaker for Confederate remembrance. She was the author of several works, including "The Veiled Doctor" and "A Romance of Summer Seas"; she died at age 34 and was buried with military honors at Hollywood Cemetery as a tribute to her work for Confederate veterans.  [ld][ph:L]
