The eagle and stars signify Patriotism and the Holy Bible signifies religion.  Daughters of America still exists and has a web page at Daughters of America. The site has a series of history lessons but nothing about its own history or how to contact them. I am not even sure it is an official site of the organization. See the Order of United American Mechanics for a general history of this set of organizations.

.Daughters of America was formed in 1891 as an auxiliary to the Jr. Order of United American Mechanics. Its first charter, issued in Allegheny County PA was in the name of The National Council Daughters of America. Although intended as an auxiliary organization, it did not receive recognition from the male order until 1926.

The objectives of this organization, as listed in the 1978 reference I am using, are, in some of their elements, extremely right wing. In others, they are a mutual benefit organization.
1. Promoting and maintaining American interests by shielding the country from unrestricted immigration
2. Helping Americans find employment
3. Encouraging American businesses
4. Providing support for the American public school system in upholding Bible reading in the public schools
5. Opposing sectarian influences in state and national affairs
6. Promoting and advancing the Jr. Order of United American Mechanics
7. Establishing the funds to support orphans of deceased members of the organization
8. Establishing funds to provide for the aged and infirm members of the order.

The order is open (1978) to WHITE male or female citizens of good moral character, who believe in a supreme being... and who believe in reading the Bible in the public schools, and etc. in support of the  above listed principals. It is a secret society which guards its secret rituals and business. In 1930 it had over 160,000 members. In 1979 that had been reduced to 19,000 in only twenty-eight states.
