El Tivoli Place History

Elizabeth Deihl

El Tivoli Place is one of Oak Cliff’s well-established neighborhoods and considered a hidden treasure south of the Trinity River. It was originally Peters Colony land before becoming part of the La Reunion settlement. There is a historical marker identifying the area at the sixth hole of the Stevens Park Golf Course, just west of Hampton Road, south of the tree row behind the Stevens Park Pharmacy on Colorado Boulevard.

The La Reunion Colony Immigrants from Europe, including France, Belgium, and Switzerland, came to America as the “European & American Society of Colonization to Texas” in 1855. Their plan was to begin a new Utopian community that would allow freedom of their political beliefs. This generally French settlement became known as La Reunion. The people were mostly artisans, aristocrats, and physicians, and poorly suited to start a farming community, although their group did include several farmers. They settled on a 640-acre parcel of land purchased from Anson McCracken, who had originally received it as a grant from the Peters Colony acreage. Things went well in the beginning for the colony, but the good crops fell prey to the long, hot summer, drought, and freezing winter. La Reunion lasted 18 months before it was abandoned and its residents scattered. Some of the more adventuresome stayed in the area and moved to the nearby city of Dallas. Many of those moving to Dallas began businesses there, and brought their European culture and art to the new land and people. Julien Reverchon was among the later prominent settlers who moved from La Reunion to Dallas, and at one time owned the land where El Tivoli Place residential addition is now located. El Tivoli Place evolved through a series of owners to its present state. The first owner of the El Tivoli site was Anson McCracken, who in 1855 received the 640-acre tract as a grant from Elisha M. Pease, Governor of Texas. McCracken, his wife Mahala Ann, and their four children came to the Peters Colony in 1844 from Missouri. A fifth child was born in 1849. In 1850 Anson McCracken obtained a certificate, No. 18 Vol. 2, issued by the Commissioner of Peters Colony for 640 acres. This “Grant to Anson McCracken by the State of Texas” was found at the Records

In 1855, a Frenchman, Jacob Maximilien Reverchon and his son, Julien, and a daughter, Louise, arrived in America to join the La Reunion Colony. Not long after they arrived, the Colony began to lose families because of the hardships of farming and climate. Reverchon and his little family stayed on, and settled on the La Reunion land which now contains the El Tivoli Place addition.

Maximilien Reverchon was born in 1810 in Marcigny, France, educated in Paris and became interested in social reform in his early life. He wed Florine Pete in 1831. They had 5 children. Son Julien and daughter Louise came to America with Maximilien in 1855, and his daughter Eugenie arrived in June 1871. Eugenie wed George Caillet in 1873. Louise was also wed in 1873 to Jean Joseph Gerard. Julien Reverchon was born 3 August 1834 near Lyon, France. Julien wed a local girl of the Colony, Marie Henri, on 24 July 1864. They had 2 sons, Michael and Maximilien. On the 13th day of June, 1870, Max Reverchon purchased 115 acres for “one hundred twelve dollars and 80/100.” Part of this tract later became the El Tivoli addition. This land was part of the La Reunion land from the Anson McCracken patent. It was situated in Dallas County about 3 ½ miles S 65 degrees W from the Town of Dallas and known & designated on the map or plat of the European & American Society of Colonization to Texas under the Nos. of 21, 22, 31, 32, 33, 34, 41, 42, 43, 44, 51, 52, 53, 54, 61, 62, 63, 64. Maximilien died in 1878 leaving about 40 acres of his land to his daughter Louise, while son Julien received about 75 acres.2

Julien Reverchon, as a young man, had become interested in botany in France. He resumed his study of plants around his new home while helping his father with the farm. Eventually he traveled over parts of Texas to gather more unknown plants for his study. A Historical Atlas of Texas contains a map tracing the routes of Julien as he “explored the Dallas and Fort Worth area extensively, and west along the old

6 Dallas Journal 2007 El Tivoli Place History military road from Fort Belknap [in Young County] south to Fort Inge [on the Leona river, south of what is now Uvalde].”

Julien's farm, named Rose Cottage, contained over 300 species and 20,000 specimens of Texas flora. Most of these were displayed in cabinets and about the walls of his home.

While surfing the internet for more information I ran across a picture of a plant Julien found near Comanche Peak and is named for him. During his life Julien had many plants named after him (Photo courtesy of Marie Caillet) in honor of his work. E.D.

Dalea Reverchonii (Comanche Peak Prairie Clover)

Before Julien died he became widely known and recognized as a great naturalist and botanist. His collection went to the Shaw Gardens of the Missouri Botanical Gardens in St. Louis, Missouri, upon his death. The George B. Dealey Library at the Dallas

Historical Society also has (Center for Plant Conservation – CPC #: 1353) some of his specimens in their collections.. During the last few years of his life, Julien was connected with the Baylor University Medical Department "in the work of instruction" in Dallas. He was a professor of Pharmacology. Julien died at his home in Dallas on December 31, 1905. Both of the Reverchon sons died of influenza in 1884 before Julien's wife, Marie, died in 1901. Julien and Marie share one headstone. Julien's dates are shown as 1836-1905, while Marie's reads 1843-1901. The sons share a single stone with their names and dates: Michael 31 May 1865 - 22 June 1884, Maximilian P. 28 April 1867 - 9 Dec. 1884. Julien and his family are buried in Fish Trap Cemetery. It is located at the southwest corner of Morris and Fish

Dallas Journal 2007 7 El Tivoli Place History

Trap, two blocks west of Hampton Road and north off Singleton. It is west of L. G. Pinkston High School. The City of Dallas has maintained the cemetery well, with a gazebo and park surrounding the lake. This was the plot of ground that the La Reunion Colony had set aside for their burial ground when the first settlers arrived. There are a number of La Reunion immigrants buried there. Julien's father, Maximilien Reverchon, died on 17 August 1878. No records of his burial location could be found, although some sources suggested that he was buried in his own backyard under a favorite pecan tree. Information is lacking, but Max just might be resting under the petunias in the flower bed of an unsuspecting El Tivoli resident. In his will, Julien left everything to Robert M. Freeman. This included the 75 ½ acres that was the “home place,” and his property in downtown Dallas. Marie Reverchon, in her will, left her estate to Julien with the proviso that when Julien died it was to go to Robert on the terms as stipulated in Julien's will. The Freeman family had a dairy close to the Reverchon property. Family histories reported that Marie and Julien raised Robert as a foster son, and that he was always close to their two sons. Robert had been called the “adopted” son of Julien but I prefer the term “foster” son, as do some of the descendants, as no official adoption papers have been found, and Robert went by the name Freeman, not Reverchon. E.D.

WILL OF JULIEN REVERCHON

In Julien's will it is stipulated that all his property, as reported in the Inventory of his estate and valued at $33,000, was to go to Robert M. Freeman. If Freeman died without issue, the property was to go to the

Dallas Journal 2007 9 El Tivoli Place History

"Saint Vincent de Paul Institution or Order for the benefit of the sick Sister's of that Order." Julien died on 30 December 1905 and in 1906 Robert Freeman went to court to obtain a “competent construction” of the will to determine whether or not he was entitled to a title in fee simple (absolute ownership of real property). One can only guess that he wanted to sell or keep the property for his own benefit. The Trial court held that he was entitled to a title in fee simple and the Appellate court affirmed that decision. However, on 24 March 1909, the Texas Supreme Court reversed the judgments of the lower courts and the will stood as written. Robert M Freeman graduated from Baylor College of Medicine in 1907 with a degree of Doctor of Medicine. Census records show he had married probably in 1904. He died without issue 20 January 1935 at his home on Bryan Street in Dallas. He is buried in Grove Hill Cemetery, Dallas. A copy of the Warranty Deed 449 page 621-624 dated 10 July 1909 from Robert M. Freeman and wife to Saint Paul Sanitarium found in Book 2 Corp & Firms Series 1 1900-1910 can be seen in the Records Building, Dallas, Texas.

Twentieth-Century Development Searching online for more information about the land that has become my home, I discovered the Dallas Historical Society message board. The site is rich with questions, comments and answers regarding La Reunion Colony, the El Tivoli Golf Course, and the El Tivoli Night club. These items led me to additional sources of information. I also consulted newspaper articles that mentioned El Tivoli, the Dal-Oak and later Cliff Dale golf club, in the Dallas Morning News archives. E. D. The land first occupied by the La Reunion Colony, then Reverchon’s estate and now the El Tivoli Addition, was mostly native prairie until well into the 20th century. The first activity noted in the Dallas Morning News newspaper archives on 30 September 1923, was for the construction of a golf club. A lease was signed by a realtor, C. Crutcher, for the land to build the Dal-Oak Golf Course. The construction of the golf course was begun, according to an article in the News, the day the lease was signed. It went on to state that this new course was being established by I. J. Willingham, George O. Wallace, and B. C. Warlick, along with a playground located on Ft. Worth Pike and Coombs Creek where it crosses the highway. Total cost of improvements were estimated to be $25,000. The first nine holes were opened in the latter part of November, 1923, with an additional eighteen holes to be constructed as soon as possible. Erection of a club house was to begin in a few weeks and was to house locker rooms and showers in a 30 by 60-foot building. The “few weeks” turned into a year, as the 27 November 1924 issue of the Dallas Morning News states that ground was broken and construction of the Dal-Oak Club House was begun. "The new clubhouse will be rebuilt from a well-preserved farmhouse on the location and will be attractively remodeled. Some of the features of the new house will be a large lounging-room, card-rooms, dining-room, locker- room, kitchen and wide verandas will provide comfort in the summer weather."

VIEWS AT NEW DAL-OAK GOLF COURSE SITE

(From Dallas Morning News Archives, dated 23 September, 1923.)

The newspaper article read "Views at Dal-Oak Golf Course" and the drawing of this house appeared in the September 23,1923 issue of the Dallas Morning News, the same day the land was formally leased to the people who were to build the golf course. Was this a drawing of the house already on the golf course site, as stated in the headline over the drawing, or was it a conceptual sketch of the proposed clubhouse? As the article below the drawing stated, ground was broken and construction begun in November, 1924, a year later, on the Dal-Oak Club House. My feeling is that plans for the club house had changed, possibly more than once, between this first article and the construction. If it is the drawing of the building to be built, then it has to be on the remains of the farm house with the new clubhouse built on the rock foundation. However, it does not show the wide verandas and doesn't look large enough to cover the description of the new club house. Later we find information regarding the "remains of the house built by the French settlers" that St. Paul's Hospital, which had acquired the land in 1909, was trying to have preserved. E. D.

Dallas Morning News 23 August 1925 This is the Dal-Oak Club house as it appeared in the 23 August 1925 edition of the Dallas Morning News. It appears considerably larger than the sketch of the proposed building in 1923, and does have a wide veranda.

Dallas Journal 2007 11 El Tivoli Place History

An earlier article in the 22 March 1925 Dallas Morning News stated the swimming pool was to be enlarged to 2000 feet by 3000 feet with a concrete bottom, and was to have an island in the center complete with trees. A month later, in April, 1925, an article stated the pool would actually be 300 feet by 1000 feet with a concrete bottom and, would be opened in May. According to Mr. Rick McWhirter, formerly of Oak Cliff and now living in Lafayette, Louisiana, who used to roam the area when he was a youngster, the island in the center of the pool is still there. He showed me the pool and the island. E. D. In Deed Vol. 1310, on 19 January 1926, St. Paul’s Sanitarium granted an easement and conveyed to the City of Dallas the right of way for the purpose of constructing and maintaining a 10-inch sanitary sewer line. Under conditions stated in the deed, the City of Dallas would grant St. Paul’s Sanitarium free connections to the sewer line at any time and place the owners may designate. On 20 September 1927, in Warranty Deed, Vol. 1435, St. Paul's Hospital did grant, sell and convey a parcel of land to the County of Dallas to be used as a public right of way. The deed stated that should it not remain a public right of way, the land was again to become the property of the St. Paul's Hospital in Dallas, Texas. This could have been what was known as Kessler Boulevard back in the 1920's and now known as Plymouth Road. Kessler Boulevard was the only public road on the property at that time. E. D. It was June 1929 before Dal-Oak was mentioned again. An article in the Dallas Morning News told of the "El Tivoli Night Club being near completion on the grounds of the Dal-Oak Club." But the Dal-Oak Country Club’s name had been changed to the Cliff-Dale Country Club, apparently in 1925. At that time, on 13 June 1929, the cost of the club building and its furnishings was projected at $40,000. By 24 June 1929, in an article telling of the preview opening of the El Tivoli Club, the price of building the Club had gone up to $65,000. This would have been a very nice place for that much money back then. The night club formally opened in June, 1929, to more than 500 people. The Dallas Morning News stated that the Night Club is "located on the grounds of the Cliff Dale Country Club". By July of that year they were charging a cover charge of $1.50 per couple. The following amusing comment appeared in the Dallas Times Herald, June 27, 1929, Section 1, page 18: "Dallas followers of the god of whoopee were given a new temple wherein to practice their devotions Wednesday night with the opening of the city's latest nightclub, El Tivoli, on the Dallas-Fort Worth Pike."

El Tivoli Night Club - 2715 West Davis Street - Dallas, Texas. Photo courtesy of Mr. Gene Morris, Canton, Texas.

The entrance to the night club and the golf course were modeled after The Alamo, as can be seen by these pictures. Currently, the El Tivoli Place Neighborhood Association is working on a design for the entrance to the neighborhood. This original design would have made an historical one, but their design is already in progress. The original entrance was on West Davis Street at what is now Reverchon Drive, but has unfortunately been destroyed. I was told by two families that moved into two of the houses in 1949 that Reverchon Drive was the only street coming into the addition off West Davis Street, as it is today. I received these two pictures from Gene Morris, who now lives in Canton, Texas, but his grandfather and father lived on and worked for the El Tivoli Golf Club when Gene was a young lad. I met Gene through the Dallas Historical Society message board when he mentioned in a message that he had a picture of the club. I emailed him, told him I was writing this history, and asked if I might be able to obtain copies of the photos he had. The next morning those pictures were in my email message box. I keep Gene advised of the progress I am making on this project, and I have his permission to use his name and copies of the photographs in this endeavor. On the Dallas Historical Society message board I found that the Night Club was located at what is now 2718 San Jose and that some of the old cedar trees were still there. Well, I had to see for myself, and sure enough, there are several of the trees there for anyone to drive by and look at. I also took a couple of pictures of them. They are rather shaggy looking trees but they are part of our history. I wonder how long they will survive. E. D.

The aerial views and the plat were obtained from the City of Dallas offices on Jefferson Boulevard. The following aerial view was made in 1930. The fairways for the golf course are visible.

Dallas Journal 2007 13 El Tivoli Place History

On this aerial view of the area in the 1930's you can see a building on a short curved street right near where San Jose is located today. This is likely where the El Tivoli Night Club was located. The straight street at the bottom is West Davis Street. About three quarters of an inch, from left to right, on West Davis Street is a road, (what is now Reverchon Drive) and about one fourth inch up at the curve of the street is a building. The view is not plain enough to tell what type of building it is but could be either the club house or the Reverchon cottage. There is what looks like a building just left of that building.

In February 1930 the Groves-Barnes Lumber Company filed suit asking that a receiver be appointed to operate the El Tivoli Club, according to an article in the Dallas Morning News dated 15 Feb 1930. On 25 June 1930 the Cliff-Dale Club House was destroyed by fire about 9 p.m. According to the newspaper report, it was such a big blaze that "hundreds of motorists followed the fire equipment to the scene of the blaze. They blocked the road leading to the clubhouse and nightclub. The fire was out of control by the time the firemen could reach the fire. The closest water main was four blocks away. Loss was estimated at $2500 by the manager of the night club." The club house sat behind the El Tivoli Night Club. By December of 1930 the club house was rebuilt and open for business. The following directions to the golf course appear in the WPA Dallas Guide & History: "El Tivoli Golf Course - W Davis between Kessler Blvd. & Cliffdale Ave, W on Davis, rt to Club, 18 holes, 50 cents week days, 75 cents Sat. Sun. & Holidays." [SOURCE: Writers' Program of the Work Projects Administration in the City of Dallas, WPA Dallas Guide & History, (Dallas and Denton: Dallas Public Library and University of North Texas Press, 1992) p.10.] By October, 1930, the El Tivoli was being touted as the only supper club in the city of Oak Cliff, and Stevens Park Golf Club as one of the finest in the city, along with Cliff-Dale and Cedar Crest golf courses. In deed #1759 on 16 November 1931, St. Paul's Hospital in consideration of one dollar ($1.00) conveyed to the State of Texas a parcel of land in the A. McCracken Survey, containing 2.14 acres, more or less, to be used for right of way purposes for a public highway. The area included a line on the east side of Cliffdale Street south to the middle of State Highway 1 (Fort Worth Pike), east 1,858 feet to the east line of St. Paul Sanitarium boundary and north 50 feet thence west to Cliffdale running parallel to the center line of State Highway 1 (Davis Street). All improvements on the roadway were to be at the expense of Dallas County. Filed for record 9 July 1932. By 1931, the Cliff-Dale Country Club had changed its name to El Tivoli Country Club. The Dallas City Directories list both the Cliff Dale Country Club and the El Tivoli Night Club, from 1930 through 1933, at the same address, 2715 West Davis. Before the area was acquired by El Tivoli Inc. and until the houses were built on the property, 2715 West Davis was the only street address for the property. The mailing address was Rte 8 Box 653. The mailing address for the Reverchon family was Rose Cottage, Sta A, Rte 8. The Club and the area surrounding it were still rural, not yet having been annexed by the City of Dallas. El Tivoli was an island unto itself.

Most Dallas Morning News articles about the club pertained to golf activities, both men's and women's leagues. The women were active at the club and made use of the facilities with their bridge club meetings in addition to their golf games. Numerous parties were held at the Country Club; including some "all-nighters." Businesses and organizations held their meetings at the club. Conventioneers were feted at the club. By 1936 the night club had changed its name to El Tivoli Supper Club. According to the Dallas City Directories, the supper club was going by the name "Villa - The Caterers," but the golf club was still El Tivoli. Nick Poulos was the manager, probably of both clubs. He began working at the Club as a waiter and worked his way up to manager. In Deed Volume 2186 dated 14 September 1938, St. Paul's Hospital granted a lease to Nick Poulos of a tract of land generally known as the Freeman Place, (the land being given by Mr. Freeman to the Hospital) and being the farm formerly of Julien Reverchon and consisting of about seventy eight (78) acres. The land was leased for two hundred dollars ($200) per month for a period of five (5) years. Mr. Poulos was to improve the land as a golf course and keep up the clubhouse, the Dal-Oak Tourist Camp, and all other structures. When the lease expired, all structures, improvements, etc. were to go to St. Paul Hospital. The conditions to be controlled by Mr. Poulos were that any public eating place on the premises would be operated as a clubhouse or first-class eating place, that he should supervise the personnel of the patrons and the employees, that rowdiness or unbecoming conduct would not be permitted. The place would be operated as a first-class golf course and amusement place. The old stone house erected by the early French settlers should be preserved along with the standing timbers and shrubbery. If he wanted to remove any of the fences, he had to place stone or masonry, or other substantial materials, to mark where they stood, to prevent removal or destruction of the monument. [It appears St. Paul's Hospital was trying to preserve the historical cottage that was the Reverchon's home. E. D.] One other condition was that Mr. Poulos was to let the nurses employed by St. Paul's have free use of the amusements four (4) times a year but not to include Saturday, Sunday, or holidays. He must carry insurance on the improvements and in case of fire or tornado the insurance proceeds would be used to rebuild the destroyed improvements. This lease was filed and recorded for record on 26 February 1940 in Dallas County Court. I wonder why it took one and one-half years to file this lease. I found the address of the Tourist Camp was 2515 West Davis. That would be just west of what is now Terrace Boulevard. I also found that the Dallas Automobile Club was a sponsor of the Tourist Camp. E. D. On the 28th day of May, 1940, Nick Poulos signed a Quit Claim Deed to St. Paul Hospital for the property he leased in 1938, for the sum of one dollar ($1.00). [This found in Volume 2207 of Deed Records in the Records Building Dallas, Dallas, Texas.] As this lease to Poulos was for five years I wonder why he turned the land back to St. Paul's Hospital. Could this have been when Mr. Simons began negotiating to buy the land or was Mr. Poulos not fulfilling his part of the lease? E. D. On 29 May 1940, the day after Nick Poulos signed a Quit Claim to St. Paul's, the Board of Directors of St. Paul's Hospital met. A resolution was offered and adopted to sell a part of the 75 acres conveyed by Robert M Freeman to Saint Paul's Sanitarium on 10 July 1909, to W. M. Robinson, Pastor, St. Cecilia Church. On 28 May 1940, in Deed Volume 2207, a General Warranty Deed from St. Paul's Hospital, in consideration of $7,410, conveyed to W. M. Robinson, Pastor, St. Cecilia Church 4.90 acres of land, more or less, of the Anson McCracken Survey.

Dallas Journal 2007 15 El Tivoli Place History

In Deed Volume 2433, a Warranty Deed from St. Paul's Hospital, a corporation, by W. M. Robinson, Pastor of St Cecilia Church to El Tivoli, Inc. for a sum of $25,000.00 for 59.9224 acres of land. This tract includes the 5.66 acres sold to W. M. Robinson in Volume 2207. The Deed in Volume 2433 was executed on 3 November 1943 and filed for record on 10 November 1943. The last mention of the El Tivoli Club activities was in January 1940. It was later mentioned in August 1942 after the name had been changed to Villa. That brings us up to our El Tivoli addition and when it began.

At least two famous people came out of what was to become El Tivoli Place. The first was Julien Reverchon, who became a world renowned botanist and naturalist. Reverchon Park in Dallas was named for him. The second was golf pro Lloyd Mangrum. He worked at the golf club as a caddy and doing odd jobs while his brother, Ray, worked as a pro at the club. Lloyd later was inducted into World Golf Hall of Fame and the Texas Golf Hall of Fame. A third famous person was Babe Didrikson Zaharias. Her only connection to El Tivoli was that she played her first game of golf at the El Tivoli Golf Club in 1932, and her caddy was—Lloyd Mangrum. The Texas/Dallas History and Archives Division on the 7th floor of the Dallas Central Library is a rich source of Dallas historical material. Staff member Michael Miller assisted my research on the El Tivoli development. I had been told by Judge Fite, the local realtor, when we were in the process of buying our house in 1955, that these houses were built in 1944. We began with the City of Dallas Building Inspectors Record Books in the years 1943-1944. Not knowing who owned the property or who built the houses I searched for an address. I began with 1 January 1943, page by page, searching the City Building Inspectors Record Book, a huge volume about 4 inches thick and measures roughly about 20 X 21 inches. In the month of April 1944 I finally found my "gold mine"! The land was owned by El Tivoli, Incorporated, but no individual name was given as head of the Corporation. Several streets were named and house numbers given. Each listing read the same—5 room dwelling, price $2,550. The contractors were Kucharo Construction Company, of Des Moines, Iowa, and Union Construction Company, also of Des Moines, Iowa. Their local office was located at 2715 West Davis Street. It seemed that was the address for all business activity in the area. I later found out that Kucharo Construction had built several dormitory halls for the college in Des Moines back in early 1930's before coming to Texas to build our humble abodes. Now, I had to find out who owned the land. DGS member Alvin Harper met me at the Records Building in downtown Dallas and walked me through the process he went through when he researched his neighborhood. Using the Grantee and Grantor Deeds, I learned that A. P. Simons owned the land and was head of El Tivoli, Incorporated. He had bought the land from St. Paul's Hospital and St. Cecilia Church. On November 3, 1943,Warranty Deeds Volume 2433, pages 117- 119, recorded the sale of 59.9224 acres of A[nson] McCracken Survey to El Tivoli, Incorporated, from St. Paul's Hospital et al. and St. Cecilia Church et al. A release was made and recorded on 23 February 1944 by both St. Paul's Hospital et al. and St. Cecilia Church et al. E. D. A Release from St. Paul's Hospital to El Tivoli, Inc., executed on 23 February 1944 for the 59.9224 acres of land in A McCracken Survey, is found in Deed Book 2460 page 644-645 in the Records Building in Dallas, Dallas, Texas. By 1943, builder A. P. Simons announced construction would begin on 200 houses on a 60-acre tract fronting Davis Street, west of Kessler Boulevard, now Plymouth Road. This land was formerly the Reverchon Estate and later the El Tivoli Golf Course. Simons purchased the land for $50,000. from St. Paul's Hospital and St. Cecilia Catholic Church. The newspaper article mentioned that the houses would

16 Dallas Journal 2007 El Tivoli Place History be six-room brick veneer cottages with three bedrooms and tile baths, although they are later listed as five-room dwellings in the City Building Inspectors Record Book. In January 1944, the El Tivoli Place addition, along with Clarendon Heights and Western Hills, was annexed by the City of Dallas. Until then it had been Rural Route 8 to the Post Office. El Tivoli Place was now, officially, part of the City of Dallas. The basic boundaries for the El Tivoli Place addition are north from West Davis Street on the east line of Cliffdale Street to Buna, thence Buna east to Avon, thence Avon east to Reverchon, thence Reverchon south to West Davis Street thence west to the east line of Cliffdale Street.

On March 24, 1944, A. P. Simons, President of El Tivoli Incorporated, appeared before the City of Dallas. The purpose was to dedicate the area contained in a plat as a subdivision of Dallas. The area was designated as El Tivoli Place Addition, an addition to the City of Dallas; it dedicated to the public use forever all streets, alleys, and parkways shown on the plat and designated as such. E. E. Embrey, surveyor, certified the boundaries were true and the corner monuments were placed under his supervision. The plat had been filed for approval with the City Plan Commission of the City of Dallas on September 29, 1943, and approved September 30, 1943. It was filed for record April 7, 1944, and recorded May 26, 1944, by Ed H. Steger, County Clerk. In April 1944, permits for ninety five-room dwellings at $2,550 each were issued. These covered the 2700 block of Mateur, Overcrest, and El Tivoli Drive and the 600, 700, and 800 blocks of Cliffdale and Reverchon. By the end of May, contracts were issued to Dalton & Cullum Company for water and sanitary sewer lines in West Oak Cliff, meaning El Tivoli Place Addition, for $34,459.00. These houses were originally built as rental houses. They were initially rented to people in essential war work, but that changed less than a year later when anyone could rent a house.

Dallas Journal 2007 17 El Tivoli Place History

A Warranty Deed was issued from El Tivoli, Incorporated, to A. P. Simons dated 1 September 1945. The deed is found in Deed Book 2593, page 121, located in the Records Building in Dallas, Texas. Apparently there was a deed issued for each house in the addition. By May 1949, the rental market was not doing so well, and Mr. Simons decided to sell. At that time the houses were renting at the OPA's (Office of Price Administration) ceiling of $60 per month. On June 29, 1949, (Deed Book 3153, page 205) A. P. Simons sold the El Tivoli Addition, consisting of 190 separate pieces of property, to F. H. Company for $1,037,097.78. Mr. D. Avery, an agent for F. H. Company, was to put the houses on the market for sale. He located his office at 612 Reverchon. Mr. Avery stated that the people who were renting would be given A 1949 aerial view of the El Tivoli Place Addition. first choice to buy. If they chose not to buy, they could remain on the property until the property was sold.

The permit for my house does not show a "footprint". I did find a foot print on my tax record page at the Dallas County Appraisal District site. Houses with a different floor plan than mine will have a different footprint. The description of my house at the Appraisal Office indicates external walls of asbestos siding, (Whereas, as the picture shows, it is brick veneer like the other houses,) and indicates the house had no bedrooms. On investigating Dallas County Appraisal District site, I found that most of the houses in El Tivoli were described as having no bedrooms. I wonder what rooms we have been sleeping in all this time!

As we grew we were not without "city politics," however. In 1951, poll tax receipts for "Precinct No. 145" were halted by the County Tax Officer. Seems a mix-up between some county people created the "new precinct," but it was not legal. We were part of Precinct 36. I know most of you probably remember Paul Crume's column in the Dallas Morning News entitled "Big D." In 1953, an El Tivoli address made it into one of his columns. Some little first graders were playing in the yard of a Mrs. Donovan who lived at 2735 El Tivoli. One of the little girls was reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, saying, "I pledge my allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republican for which it stands." That may say something about how the neighborhood was back then. (Dallas Morning News Oct. 28, 1953) E. D.

Conclusion After my husband died I had to get the name changed as owner of the property where I live. Evidently the City Appraisal District takes pictures of the houses when they check them for appraisals and puts them on your tax record page. (As I write this in September 2005, that has changed. The city removed both pictures of the houses and their footprints.) This was my house in 2001 and as you can see it hasn't changed.

I am sure there is some history of our neighborhood that I have not found, but it is not for the lack of trying. Some questions, I have not found answers for but I shall keep looking. If any of you know of something that I have not covered, I would appreciate you getting with me and filling me in. This has been one of the most interesting and rewarding projects that I have taken on in a long time and I hope all who read this will enjoy it as much as I have in the research and writing.

Index to 1860 Agricultural Schedule – Dallas County

Gerri Brannan

Agricultural Schedules of the U. S. Census were recorded from 1850 to 1910, but survive for only 1850 to 1880. According to Loretto Szucs and Matthew Wright in Finding Answers in the U. S. Census Records, “Agriculture censuses can be used to fill gaps when land and tax records are missing or incomplete; to distinguish between people with the same names; to document land holdings of ancestors with suitable follow-up in deeds, mortgages, tax rolls, and probate inventories; to verify and document black sharecroppers and white overseers who may not appear in other records; to identify free black men and their property holdings; and to trace migration and economic growth.” 1 “Agricultural schedules of 1850, 1860, and 1870 provide the following information for each farm: name of owner or manager, number of improved and unimproved acres, and the cash value of the farm, farming machinery, livestock, animals slaughtered during the past year, and ‘homemade manufactures.’ The schedules also indicate the number of horses, mules, ‘milch cows,’ working oxen, other cattle, sheep, and swine owned by the farmer. The amount of oats, rice, tobacco, cotton, wool, peas and beans, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, barley, buckwheat, orchard products, wine, butter, cheese, hay, clover seed, other grass seeds, hops, hemp, flax, flaxseed, silk cocoons, maple sugar, cane sugar, molasses, and beeswax and honey produced during the preceding year is also noted.” [From the NARA Website.] 2 The 1850 Dallas County Agricultural Schedule was transcribed in full by Adrienne Jamieson in The Dallas Quarterly, Volume 37, Number 1. The schedules in the ensuing years are too voluminous for full transcription. What follows is an index to the 1860 Agricultural Schedule indicating the acreage belonging to each named individual, the value of his land, a notation when the individual was renting the land, and the page on which the remaining details can be found. All the Dallas County Agricultural Schedules may be found on microfilm in the Genealogy Section of the Dallas Central Library.

The Henry Pollack Trunk Company

By Tresa Tatyrek

[Authors Note: The research for this article was prompted by the discovery by Brad Camp of a packet of old photographs in the attic of a house he purchased at 3316 Beverly in old Dallas. The photographs depicted scenes in the Henry Pollack Trunk Company, which operated on Elm Street beginning about 1883. As I soon discovered, the history of the trunk company revealed the personal histories of several generations of the Pollack family. And what a family! Complete with a mysterious death, charges of abuse, lawsuits, and conflicting family loyalties, the Pollacks could have been the source for the fictional “Dallas” family of television fame. The article illustrates the use of the many sources available to us in Dallas. These include the court records at the County Records Building, the Dallas Morning News archives and the Murphy & Bolanz maps through the Dallas Public Library web page, the Sanborn maps through TexShare, and the census records on microfilm in the Genealogy Section of the library. In addition, the extensive court documents reveal how many Dallas people’s lives were touched by the Pollack family.] The Henry Pollack Trunk Company was one of the largest trunk companies in the southwest during the trunk-making heyday. It was located in the heart of downtown Dallas in the 1900 block of Elm Street.1 Its founder was of German descent. This was a typical family with divorce, siblings suing siblings, suspicious deaths, and contested wills. The Company was founded by Henry Pollack around the time of his father Samuel’s death in 1885. Samuel had been a traveling salesman for a trunk company and gave Henry and his brother, Charles, his wares of trunks and luggage.2 The father P. Samuel POLLACK3 was born between 1831 and 1835 in Hanover, Germany.4,5 Sometime after he immigrated to the United States he married Marie S. (Mary) WEUTARNITZ,6,7 who was born in 1837 in Henry Pollack Trunk Company 1911-1913 Main Street Side

Bohemia, Austria.8 The couple moved around a great deal, as their first child was born in Ohio, the next one in Illinois, one in Missouri, two in Texas, and the remainder in the City of St. Louis, Missouri. They were enumerated on the 1860 census in Harrison County, Texas, where Samuel was a merchant. The 1870 and 1880 census found them in the City of St. Louis where he was a clerk in a store and then a salesman. They had moved to Dallas, Texas, before 1883.9 Samuel was a traveling trunk salesman living in a boarding house at 702 Ross Avenue in 1884 – 1885.10 At his death he was said to be the head of the trunk manufacturing firm on Elm Street.11

The Dallas Morning News covered the inquest. Justice Schuhls’ court heard testimony from Mrs. Marie S. Pollack, S. S. Chase, Mrs. Dora Freeman, Dr. Eagon, C. V. Waller, J. E. Waller, J. F.

Pollack. The testimony included statements that Mr. Pollack was a cheerful and happy man, had three married well-off children in St. Louis (one daughter and two sons), a sick daughter that his wife had been attending to at the time, and two sons, Charles and Henry, in Dallas. He was not depressed and had a good life. He was not a heavy breather, but did snore. He had his son Charles purchase a quarters worth of quinine the night before, which he bought from Waller drug store, being waited on by Jim Waller. The jury with Charles Howard as foreman included W. Leonard Wyenill, C. Freeman, Jr., E. H. Richardson, W. E. Halsell, and R. Liebman. The jury after a short deliberation returned the following verdict: "We, the undersigned jury, summoned and impaneled to inquire into and investigate the cause and manner of the death of Sam Pollack, find that he was about fifty-four years of age, and was found dead in his bed at his residence on the corner of Ross Avenue and Leonard Street, October 14, 1885, and that he came to his death from an overdose of morphine; how administered we have been unable to ascertain.”14 The acting coroner, H. Schuhl, held the druggist C. W. Waller and his son Jim to be not accountable for the switch in the drug bought by Charles Pollack for his father, Samuel, from their pharmacy.15 There was no further investigation.

Plaintiff and Defendant occupy different apartments of their homestead, but they do not live together as husband and wife, nor have they so lived since August 1896. Plaintiff shows that on October 14, 1897, without cause or provocation, the said Defendant violently assaulted, beat and bruised the Plaintiff, and that his course of conduct towards Plaintiff is absolutely insupportable. Plaintiff shows that it is the daily habit and custom of the Defendant to apply to Plaintiff all manner of abusive epithets, and that he frequently threatens her life, and that he frequently assaults, beats and bruises her, and that she is helpless and dependant, in that she is compelled to occupy some portion of their homestead, as she is without means and without other place of refuge, and that Defendant, taking advantage of the situation, has done, and continues to do, everything in his power to render Plaintiff wretched and miserable. Plaintiff shows that as the fruits of said marriage they have one child, a boy Sam, aged seven, who is very dear to her, and who is very fond of her, and that the Defendant abuses and maltreats the said child.

Plaintiff shows that Defendant is possessed of considerable property in his own right, and that he is also possessed of considerable property the community of himself and Plaintiff, but that he hides and secretes the same, and Plaintiff has no means of giving a list or inventory thereof. Wherefore, premises considered, Plaintiff prays that the said Defendant be duly and legally cited to appear and answer hereto: that upon a hearing hereof she have judgment of divorce, and that she be awarded the custody of the said child, Sam, and that she have judgment for her interest in all of the community properties of herself and said Defendant, and that defendant be required to render a full inventory thereof, and that she be protected in her homestead rights and that all property rights between Plaintiff and Defendant be adjusted and all costs of suit, and for general relief, as etc. Harris Etheridge & Knight, Attorneys for Plaintiff On this the 31st day of December, A.

139 Jennie filed petition in Dallas County Probate Court for guardianship of her son, Samuel's, estate in September 1899 (case 2538). Documents state her son was now nine years old and that she was divorced from his father 31 December 1897 by decree of the 14th Judicial District Court in the state of Texas, where she was granted custody of her son. She was unable to make bond and asked that the Texas Trust & Savings Company be made guardian of Samuel's interest. Henry contested the guardianship of Texas Trust & Savings Company and requested the guardianship, as Samuel's father. Part of their divorce decree gave Jennie a life estate in the homestead property situated on Ervay Street in the City of Dallas, Texas and would go to Sam at her death. Henry was providing support and maintenance of the minor in the sum of $5.00 per week. He felt there was no necessity for appointment of a guardian for the child as he was and would be providing support of the child. 140 Jennie, with Sam and her mother, Bertha, were living at 322 Cantors in Dallas for the 1900 census, and she was living at the 485 Ervay Street homestead with Sam in 1910.

In 1901, the Pollacks were again in court. Jennie Pollack filed another lawsuit against Henry Pollack, this time including their son, Sam Pollack, in Dallas District Court 44, Case No. 20071.

Plaintiff now shows that she is without any income whatever, and that she is absolutely without any means whereby she can repair, improve and preserve the said house, nor is she able in any wise to acquire the necessary funds to repair, maintain and preserve the said house, and that defendant, Sam Pollack, the owner of the reversion, is a minor and is without any legal guardian and is without any legal funds, wherewith to make the necessary repairs, and that If the said house shall be permitted to continue to decay, dilapidate and go, ruin value of the lot upon which it is situated will, be greatly impaired and diminished. Plaintiff further shows that the fencing is down and dangerous and that she has been notified by the City engineer of the City of Dallas that she must repair same at once and that she is powerless to do so. Plaintiff therefore shows that an imperative necessity exists for a partition, in that should commissioners be appointed they must necessarily report that the property is incapable of partition and therefore a sale will be ordered, and that said premises in their present condition can now be sold to advantage and the proceeds be divided between petitioner and defendant Sam Pollack in accordance with their respective interests, as established by life and other tables with reference thereto; but that if said property continues to become more and more dilapidated, as it unavoidably will unless repaired, the value thereof will be lost both to plaintiff and to the said Sam Pollack, and the right of occupancy of plaintiff will be rendered practically valueless if not entirely destroyed. Wherefore, premises considered, plaintiff prays as in her original petition, and as etc. Attorneys for Plaintiff.

Pollack, by virtue of her said life estate therein is solely entitled to the possession and enjoyment of the said real estate, and is now actually in the said sole possession and enjoyment thereof, and is appropriating to her own use and benefit'; all the fruits and revenues thereof; that these defendants are not jointly interested with the said Jennie W.

Henry married a second time to Walula AYERS on 9 January 1923 in Dallas County, Texas.148 She was born on 25 January 1884.149 According to his obituary and numerous articles, Henry was one of Dallas’s pioneer businessmen. He was one of the first presidents of the Dallas Manufacturers’ Association and a vice president in the Texas Manufacturers’ Association. He was also a lover of the theater in the days of the Drews, Barrymores, and Booths. He kept up with theatrical events on his trips east for business, and never missed a show in Dallas. He worked with the local chamber of commerce until his blindness finally limited his activities. His blindness started in child hood when he got flicked in one eye by a whip. Around 1925 the remaining eye began to fail. Henry disliked special attention because of the problem. Few people knew he couldn’t see, and he continued to run the business with the help of his secretaries. He Trunk Manufacturing Area Henry Pollack Trunk Company

cause was appealed to the District Court in and for Dallas County, Texas, for trial de novo -- came on regularly for hearing and trial before this Court on the first amended application of Mrs. Walula Pollack, for the probate of a certain instrument in writing, dated the 1st day of November, 1934, purporting to be the last will and testament of Henry Pollack, deceased, filed in said cause in said Probate Court on the 27th day of February, 1940 -- and for letters testamentary -- said Mrs. Walula Pollack being herein after referred to as proponent, and the other parties litigant being referred to as contestants. AS IS REFLECTED BY THE RECORD IN SAID CAUSE: The proponent, Mrs. Walula Pollack, the surviving wife and widow of the decedent, Henry Pollack, and a resident of Dallas County, Texas, appeared at and during the trial of said cause in said Probate Court, in person and by her attorney of record, Mr. W. P. Donalson. The contestants, Mrs. Lottie Hart, Joseph Pollack, Bernard Sam Freefield, Mrs. Esther Hirsch, Henry A. Freefield and Mrs. Della Rose, and each of them, appeared in said Probate Court by their attorneys of record, viz: Touchstone, Wight, Gormley and Touchstone, and the contestants, Charles Pollack, Mrs. Hannah Goodman, Paul Drukker, Mrs. Evelyn Asinof and Mrs. Gertrude Susman (Suchman) and each of them, appeared in said Probate Court, by their attorney of record viz: Coke & Coke and Mr. Thomas G. Murnane, and all of them filed answer to and contest of said application and said will, in-said cause in said Probate Court. The contestants, Mrs. Lillian Abrams, Mrs. Julia Barry, Siegfried Pollack, Mrs. Ethel Seibert, Alex Hirsch, A. Susman (Suchman), Jesse Asinof, Tom Barry, and Dr. Alvin H. Seibert, and each of them, though given notice duly issued out of said cause in said Probate Court as prescribed by law in such cases, in the manner and for the length of time required by law, and though given further notice by citation duly issued out of said cause in said Probate Court and served upon them and each of them, in person, in the manner and for the length of time required by law in such cases,. commanding them and each of them to appear and answer in said cause, and to show cause, if any they may, why proponent's said application and the relief therein sought should not be granted, and why the instrument purporting to be the last will and testament of the said Henry Pollack, deceased, should not be probated and admitted to probate as his last will and testament, and letters testamentary issued to proponent, as prayed, came not, either in person or by attorney, made no appearance, filed no pleadings of any character, and did no act whatsoever, in said cause, in said Probate Court -- but wholly made default. The grounds of objection to and contest of said application and instrument dated November 1st 1934, purporting to be the last will and testament of said Henry Pollack, deceased, and the probate of the same as such., were in substances, that at the time of executing such instrument the decedent, Henry Pollack: was not of sound mind or memory, or in any respect capable of making a will - did not know the nature and contents of such instrument, or that same purported to be a will - signed the same under duress and as a result of undue influence practiced upon him by his wife, Mrs. Walula Pollack - and that the signature to the same is not the true signature of said decedent.

Drukker, Mrs. Evelyn Asinof and Mrs. Gertrude Susman (Suchman) failed to perfect and further prosecute their appeal; and those contestants who failed to appear and answer, and who made default took no action whatsoever in such appeal. By notation on the docket and by order duly made and entered upon the minutes of this court, of date May 5, 1941 the firm of Touchstone, Wight, Gormley and Touchstone withdrew as attorneys for said contestants, Bernard Sam Freefield, Mrs. Esther Hirsch, Henry A. Freefield and Mrs. Della Rose, but continued to represent said contestants, Mrs. Lottie Hart and Joseph Pollack, and Mr. J. L.

Thereupon the proponent, Mrs. Walula Pollack, appeared in person and by her said attorney of record, said contestants, Mrs. Lottie Hart and Joseph Pollack appeared by their said attorneys of record, and said contestants, Bernard Sam Freefield, Mrs. Esther Hirsch, Henry A. Freefield and Mrs. Delia Rose appeared by their said attorney of record, said contestants Charles Pollack, Mrs. Hannah Goodman, Paul Drukker, Mrs. Evelyn Asinof and Mrs. Gertrude Susman (Suchman) who appeared and participated in the contest of said application for and the contest of decedent's will in the Probate Court, came not to further urge such contest in this court, and the other named contestants who failed to appear but made default in the trial of said cause in said Probate Court, though duly cited in the manner and for the length of time required by law, including personal service, as hereinbefore stated, came not but wholly made default in this court, and all parties being legally before the court, those named above who actually appeared in person or by attorney, or both, announced ready for trial. A jury having been demanded by certain of the contestants, said cause stood regularly for trial de novo, to a jury, on the docket of this Court, whereupon came a jury of good and lawful men, to-wit: Sam Marks and eleven others, all citizens of Dallas County, Texas, an all duly qualified to serve as jurors in the trial of this cause. As the trial of said cause began, and before the selection of a jury, Mr. John Touchstone, a member of said firm of attorneys of record for the contestants, Mrs. Lottie Hart and Joseph Pollack, and Mr. J. L. Goggans, attorney of record for contestants Bernard Sam Freefield, Mrs. Esther Hirsch, Henry A. Freefield and Mrs. Della Rose, stated to the court and to counsel for proponent, in open court, that they and their respective clients would not further oppose the application for and the admission to probate of the instrument in question as the last will and testament of decedent, following which the proponent presented her pleadings and adduced evidence in support thereof, to and before the court and jury, which evidence was wholly undisputed and unchallenged, and during which entire proceedings said attorneys were present in person in the court room where the trial of said cause was in progress, and witnessed such proceeding without presenting any pleadings, interrogating any witnesses, offering any testimony or making any comment on or objection to such proceedings. Upon conclusion of the evidence offered by the proponent, proponent made a motion to the court to instruct the jury to return a verdict that the instrument in evidence dated Page 475 November 1, 1934, and then offered for probate, was the last will and testament of Henry Pollack, deceased, which motion the court granted, and instructed the jury (omitting foreman parts) as follows:

"The Court having heard the pleadings and the evidence and the petitioner having made a motion for an instructed verdict, the Court is of the opinion that petitioner's application should be granted and the instrument offered for probate should be admitted to probate as the last will and testament of Henry Pollack, and you are instructed to return a verdict finding that the instrument offered is the last

D. 1941, and during the same term of this court returned into open court the following verdict duty signed by their foreman, to-wit: "We, the jury, acting under instructions of the Court, find that the instrument offered for probate is the last will and testament of Henry Pollack." (Signed) “Sam Marks” Foreman At the request of proponent to find the facts upon which the jury was directed to return the verdict, the court here now finds and makes a part of this judgment, the following fact findings which were established by the uncontroverted, unchallenged evidence adduced upon the trial of this cause before the court and jury, to-wit: The foregoing recitals of fact, including the issuance and service of process upon all of the named contestants, the appearance, answer and contest of those certain named contestants, the failure to appear and default of the other named contestants, the rendering and entry of judgment by the Probate Court, and the timely notice of appeal and filing of appeal bond, are true as stated, and are here now referred to and adopted as and are made a part of these fact findings. And the Court further finds the facts proven to be as follows: That Henry Pollack is dead; that he died on the 9th day of February, 1940 in Dallas County, Texas; that at the time of his death and, continuously, for many years next prior thereto, he was a resident of Dallas County Texas, and his principal estate was located in said Dallas County; that at the time of his death said Henry Pollack left a written instrument dated November 1st 1934, which was introduced in evidence for probate as, and which instrument the court here now finds is, the last will and testament of said decedent, and which instrument is hereinafter referred to as "will” and which is incorporated in, referred to and made a part of the judgment in this cause, and a part of these findings. That Mrs. Walula Pollack who is named in decedent's said will as executrix thereof and of his estate, without bond or other security, is not disqualified but is in all respects qualified to accept letters testamentary thereof.

Historical List of Dallas County Courts

Shirley Sloat Dallas County was organized in 1846 and the 6th Judicial District Court which met for the first time December 7th of that year also served Ellis County. Between 1854 and 1885 the 14th Independent District Court housed records for Dallas and several other counties. After the Civil War, reconstruction-era politics dramatically affected power and jurisdiction and record- keeping practices in Texas. For a time, the Commissioners’ Court was replaced by newly-appointed Justices of the Peace, and in 1869 county courts were abolished temporarily with jurisdiction transferred to district courts. It was not until the new Constitution of 1876 was approved that commissioners’ court was re-established and the positions of the County Clerk and the District Clerk were once again separated and county courts reinstated. Awareness of this political upheaval should cause the genealogist seeking records in this time period to look in multiple locations. This historical list of Dallas County courts is intended to help the researcher identify which set(s) of court records should be examined to gain additional information about events occurring at a specific time period.

The newly emancipated slaves, the original subjects for the mission’s evangelism, were not particularly interested in a new religion. There were policy differences with the other emissaries who came down from Battle Creek to join the mission. Elbridge and two other mission staff members received letters of reprimand from Adventist headquarters over their differences with another faction within the mission organization.53 Finally, Alfred’s divorce and sudden remarriage to his brother’s sister-in- law may have been the last straw. The brothers pursued separate lives and careers, although certainly the family members remained devoted to one another throughout their lives. Neither the two present authors nor Dona Hatthorn, a great-granddaughter of Albert Dexter Rust, knew of the Adventist family history until relatively recent years.

Membership Founded in 1955, the Dallas Genealogical Society (DGS) is the oldest organization of its kind in Texas. DGS is a nonprofit, tax-exempt corporation with more than 1,000 members. Individuals, libraries, and societies may apply for membership. Membership is $25 per year for an individual or a couple. Members receive the DGS Newsletter and The Dallas Journal (optional).

Objectives • To educate by creating, fostering, and maintaining interest in genealogy. • Assist and support the Genealogy Section of the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library in Dallas, Texas • Collect, preserve, copy, and index information of genealogical interest relating to Dallas County and its early history

DGS Meetings The Dallas Genealogical Society (DGS) takes pride in the quality of its programs at regular meetings, which are usually held on the fourth Monday of the month. Meetings begin at 6:00 p.m. with refreshments, followed by an informal question-and- answer session at 6:30. The business/program meeting starts at 7:00. Programs feature informative presentations on genealogical and historical topics. Meetings end by 9:00 p.m. when the library closes. Regular meetings are held in the plaza level Auditorium and East/West Rooms of the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library, 1515 Young Street, in downtown Dallas. Guarded parking is available in the garage beneath the library (enter on Wood Street.) All DGS meetings are free and open to the public.

Special Interest Groups The Dallas Genealogical Society has many Special Interest Groups to meet the needs and interests of our members. These include: African-American Genealogy (AAGIG); Advanced Methodology Study (AMSG); British Research (BRG); Computer Interest (CIG); Digital Imaging (DIG); DNA Interest Group (DNAIG); Family Tree Maker (FTM); German Research (CRG); Internet for Genealogists (IGIG); MacGen Reunion Group (Mac); Legacy Users (LUG); Native American Research (NARG); Personal Ancestral File Users (PAF); Speakers Round Table; The Master Genealogist Users (TMG); and the Writing Interest Group (WIG). New SIGs are formed when interest develops. The SIGs meet at various dates and times and in various meeting rooms throughout the Central Library. Dates, times, and locations are subject to change. See the website and the monthly newsletter for additional details.

Society Publications The DGS Newsletter, published since 1976, is a benefit of membership. Ten issues are published each calendar year. Each issue contains information about DGS events, in addition to articles highlighting research tips, genealogical aids, library news, information about regional and national societies, news concerning the genealogical community, and member news.

The Dallas Journal, an annual publication, contains genealogical and historical records, articles, and information pertaining to the cities and towns of Dallas County. Each volume is every-name indexed. The Dallas Journal continues the tradition of its predecessor, The Dallas Quarterly, published continuously from 1955 through 1994. If you do not have Dallas County ancestors and do not wish to receive this publication, please check NO on your membership application or renewal.

Supporting Genealogy Section Of The Dallas Public Library The Dallas Genealogical Society recognizes its good fortune in having ready access to one of the best genealogical collections in the United States – the Genealogy Section of the Dallas Public Library. To maintain and improve that resource, DGS donates money, research materials, and volunteer time.
