Synopsis
Excerpt from The Particular Laws: Of the State Societies of the Cincinnati on the Subject of Admission to Membership
IX. Any person making application to become a member of the Society, in conformity with the the Rule recommended at the Triennial Meeting of the General Society of the Cincinnati, held at Baltimore, in May, 1854, and adopted by this Society at their annual meeting in July following, may be admitted, upon subscribing the usual declaration and upon condition of the payment of the sum of seven hundred dollars to the Treasurer of the Society, as a contribution to the permanent fund, and shall thereby be entitled to all the rights and privi leges of an original member.
X. The succession and admission to membership of this Society shall descend to the heir male, unless, for satisfactory reasons, another be chosen; in which case the membership shall extend to the life only of the person so elected, and, at his decease, the then existing heir male of the original member shall be the person first to be considered in a new election.
XI. In case the person so admitted is in active service in the Army or Navy of the United States, and is unable to attend the regular meeting of the Society next following his admission, he may make and subscribe the declaration before a notary public, or justice of peace, and transmit the same to the Secretary to be affixed to the record book of the Society.
XII. A failure on the part of any eligible person to apply for admission within a reasonable time after being informed of the existence of his claim, may be interpreted as a waiver thereof.
XIII. Since a waiver can, in any case, be regarded only as the renunciation of a claim, not as the transfer of a right, none can be recognized which would impair the subsequent elegibility of a minor.
