Cecile Laramie was born on September 9, 1872, at Chicago, Illinois to Theophile Laramie and Martha Annette. She married David Michael Deutsch on August 12, 1894, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Shortly before 1900, they came to Seattle. David worked for the Seattle Gas Company for 40 years before his retirement in 1945. Cecile wrote and gave a play in 1928 that was repeated in 1930 commemorating the Boston Tea Party.
Cecile was the DAR State Genealogist in 1933 and chapter regent of Lady Stirling form 1936-1938. She became state regent in 1943, and since this was during the war years, this was extended to 1946. During the 1944 conference, Cecile had this to say: “It is your sacred duty to see that the laws of this country are enforced, and your solemn obligation to cast your ballot as you see it, for the preservation and maintenance of our American way of Life.”
In 1944 the significant number of 1776 members was reached. Most of the travel during these war years was done by bus, which curtailed the visits to the 36 state chapters.
The 1945 conference was not held due to the wartime restrictions on travel. The project of registering and fingerprinting all the children was continued during her administration, DAR homes were opened to wives of servicemen and refugees from war-torn countries. By 1945, the members of Washington DAR had sold over $500,000 in bonds. The project for the War Service Unit was implemented to adopt an Amphibious Landing craft as their own ship and to treat the “boys” as their own. Members sent letters gifts, recognized the birthdays and various holidays. Books, magazine, music, cookies, cakes, and candies were sent to the adopted sons and to the ship for the benefit of all the crew.
The request for sponsorship was made to the NSDAR, and they took the dare. Each chapter was to personally sponsor a ship. The ship assigned to Washington was the Landing Craft 600. According to Lt. Cmdr. Walsh, “The sponsorship of a ship is much more important than the christening of a ship.” For the excellent work of the state, Cecile’s name was put on the roster of the honorary “Alligator’s Club.”
DAR members were encouraged to volunteer for Red Cross, USO, and Civil Defense work as well as to purchase War Bonds and Stamps. The chapter reports during this time indicate the DAR members of our state worked unceasingly for the war effort. Each bus station and train depot had its complement of DAR women offering coffee, tea, and cookies or donuts.
One of the regent projects undertaken was the funding of a Boeing B-29 “Superfortress” solely from the purchase of War Bonds and Stamps by the WSSDAR. The $600,000 price was met and exceeded.
Cecile was the Past Matron of the Rada Uphus Chapter Order of Eastern Star and past Grand Warden of the Grand Chapter, State of Washington, Order of the Eastern Star. She was also a member of the Hatasu Temple Daughters of the Nile. Cecile passed away on August 19, 1948 in Soap Lake, Washington and is buried at the Rhododendron Gardens, Acacia Memorial Park
She was a member of the Lady Stirling Chapter in Seattle and was State Regent 1943-1946.
