Use the bold letters to fill in the puzzle at the end to reveal the hidden message. 1. Martha Lenoir Pickens was Alabama’s third First Lady. She was known for her love of fashion. She even designed some of her own gowns. She died of malaria when she was 31, the first First Lady to die while her husband was governor. 2. Sarah Haynesworth Gayle was First Lady when Tuscaloosa was Alabama’s capital. She also was hostess to Frances Scott Key, author of our National Anthem, when he traveled to Alabama in 1833. 3. Sarah Ann Mason, wife of Governor Joshua Lanier Martin, was the First Lady when the capital moved to Montgomery in 1846. Sarah married Martin after Joshua’s first wife, Mary Gilliam, who was Sarah’s sister, died. 4. In 1838, Felicia Pickett was a teenager at the time of her marriage to 39- year- old United State Congressman Reuben Chapman. Ten years later, Chapman became Governor and Felicia the First Lady. 5. As a leading lawyer of his day, Governor George S. Houston was said to have discussed matters with his wife, First Lady Margaret Irvine Houston, before trying a case. 6. Governor Bibb Graves appointed his wife Dixie Bibb Graves as United States Senator to fill the vacancy created when Hugo Black left and was appointed to the United States Supreme Court. Dixie Graves thus became Alabama’s first female United States senator. 7. First Lady Lurleen Burns Wallace, wife of George C. Wallace, became Alabama’s first and only female governor. She died of cancer in May 1968 after serving 17 months in office. 8. First Lady Patsy Riley, wife of Governor Bob Riley, reopened the Governor’s Mansion to the public after it had been closed for more than a decade.

THE BROWN PRINTING CO. 1916 Hres Copyright. 1916 BY EDWARD CHAMBERS BETTS ^ 'CI.A'I4R190 NOV -I 1916 "VU) I ^ FOREWORD In the preparation of this work the author is largely indebted to the Department of Archives and History of Alabama, under the capable management of Dr. Thomas M. Owen, who con- tributed liberally of his time assisting in a search of the files and records of this Department. Especially is the author indebted for the aid received from the letters of Judge Thomas J. Taylor,* dealing with this subject. In its inception this work was not intended for, nor is it offered as, a literary efifort, but merely as a chronicle of his- torical facts and events dealing with Huntsville. In its prepa- ration, the author has taken care to record nothing within its pages for which his authority as to the source of information is not given. It has value only as a documentary record of facts and events gleaned chiefly from contemporaneous sources, and is as accurate as could be made after verification from all material at hand, which was necessarily very meager.

  • History of ALDOT
    Module 1 Read Ahead History of ALDOT Module 1: History of ALDOT Objectives After attending the training in Module 1, participants will be able to: • understand the history of ALDOT from birth out of corrections in 1911 until today. • identify the many changes that have occurred throughout the history of ALDOT. • understand the many reorganizations of areas, regions, divisions, and bureaus. Early History of ALDOT In 1911, the State Highway Commission was created under Governor Emmet O’Neal’s Administration (1911-1915). The State Highway Commission consisted of five commissioners and three regular employees. The State Highway Commission was organized along with an Oyster Commission and was initially housed in the cloak room of the Senate Chamber in the Alabma State Capitol. The first five Alabama State Highway Commission Members were Robert E. Spragins, Chairman, of Huntsville; John Craft of Mobile who later became Chairman of the 2nd Commission; V. B. Atkins of Selma; G.N. Mitcham, Professor of Civil Engineering at Auburn University; and Eugene A. Smith, State Geologist at the University of Alabama. Regular Members of the Commission were W.S. Keller, State Highway Engineer who had experience at the County Engineer level; Robert P. Boyd, Assistant State Highway Engineer who had experience at the County Engineer level; and C.L. Rabb, Clerk. Earliest Years Early highway executives in 1911 shared some of the same financial woes as their current counterparts. The Financial Act of 1911 appropriated $154,000 from the State Convict Fund. The Act allowed the funds to be used for construction of roads and for the overhead expenses of the state executives.
