EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIAnON 3 GOVERNOR MIRIAM A. FERGUSON by Ralph W. Steen January 20, 1925 was a beautiful day in Austin, Texas, and thousands of people converged on the city to pay tribute to the first woman to serve the state as governor. Long before time for the inaugural ceremony to begin every space in the gallery of the House of Representatives was taken and thousands who could not gain admission blocked hanways and stood outside the capitol. After brief opening ceremonies, Chief Justice C.M. Cureton administered the oath of office to Lieutenant Governor Barry Miller and then to Governor Miriam A. Ferguson. Pat M. Neff, the retiring governor, introduced Mrs. Ferguson to the audience and she delivered a brief inaugural address. The governor called for heart in government, proclaimed political equality for women, and asked for the good will and the prayers of the women of Texas. The address closed with the statement; "With love for all, with malice toward none, trusting in God, I consecrate my life to my state." Several bands were in Austin for the inauguration but most attention focused on the 142nd Infantry Band, widely known as the Old Gray Mare Band. The reason for the interest was the association with the band of May Peterson (Mrs. E.O. Thompson), a star of the Metropolitan Opera. During the ceremony, the band played and Miss Peterson sang "The Eyes of Texas" as the inaugural party entered the House Chamber, "Put on Your Old Gray Bonnet" when Mrs. Ferguson was introduced, "The Star Spangled Banner" after Mrs. Ferguson's address, and "Dixie" as the inaugural party left the hall. In the governor's office, Mrs. Ferguson discovered that Neff had left a Bible for her open at Psalms J 19, verse 115: "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." It was a verse which became one ofher favorites. The new governor was a calm and most dignified individual and the Dallas IV ews declared that the candidate of ginghams and bonnet had been replaced by a handsomely dressed woman of charm. The path which Mrs. Ferguson followed from birth on a Bell County farm to the governor's office led her in many directions including an earlier stop at the governor's mansion. Ralph W. Steen is President of the East Texas Historical As:wciatiort, 1978-1979, and President-Emeritus afStephen F. Austin State Unil'ersit.\,. 4 EAST TEXAS HISTORICAl. ASSOCIATIO"l Miriam Amanda Wallace was born June 13, 1875 and was one of six children of Joseph Wallace and Eliza Garrison Ferguson Wallace. Her parents owned a substantial amount of land and werc looked upon as one of the more wealthy families in Bell County. At the time of Miriam's birth, a boy named James Edward Ferguson was approaching his fourth birthday on ai'arm about seven miles from the Wallace farm. Jim Ferguson and Miriam Wallace were to share much of their lives. Had he lived, the first husband of Mrs. Wallace would have been Jim's uncle. Miriam Wallace spent some time in a public school and, on other occasions, was taught by a tutor who lived in the Wallace home. She attended Salado College for two years and Baylor College for Women in Belton for a short while. Life in the Wallace family underwent a major change in 1898 with the death of Mr. Wallace, but the family was left with large land holdings and a substantial amount ofcash. Afterthe death ofMr. Wallace, James E. Ferguson who was working his way up the economic ladder in Bclton, found it necessary to visit his aunt on numerous occasions to discuss matters of finance. Other matters were discussed also and on December 31, 1899 Ferguson and Miriam Wallace were married. They lived in Belton in a white cottage with red trim, a gift of the brides's mother. Two daughters, Ouida and Dorrace, were born to the Fergusons. In 1906, the Fergusons sold their share of a bank in Belton which Jim had managed and moved to Temple where he organized the Temple State Bank and became its president. The Ferguson home in Temple, located only a few blocks from the center of town, was typical of the homes of successful businessmen of the period. It was a two-story house with nine rooms, two galleries and the inevitable cupola. Jim, who never learned that there are strangers in the world, was well liked in Temple and the bank prospered. Mrs. Ferguson, on the other hand, never learned the art of being nice to people whom she didn't like, and was noted for lack oftact and diplomacy. She took no part in club atlairs and very little part in church affairs. One reason may have been that her health was not good. A more important reason was her devotion to her borne and her children. To a woman of Mrs. Ferguson's character and lack of interest in public affairs, the decision ofher husband to become a candidate for governor must have been a great shock. James E. Ferguson, a man who had never held any political ott'ice, announced late in 1913 that he would be a candidate for governor in the Democratic primaries of 1914. His announcement elicited little response and most observers felt that he was wasting EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIAnON 5 his time and his money.

  • ABSTRACT “The Good Angel of Practical Fraternity:” the Ku Klux Klan in Mclennan County, 1915-1924. Richard H. Fair, M.A. Me
    ABSTRACT “The Good Angel of Practical Fraternity:” The Ku Klux Klan in McLennan County, 1915-1924. Richard H. Fair, M.A. Mentor: T. Michael Parrish, Ph.D. This thesis examines the culture of McLennan County surrounding the rise of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s and its influence in central Texas. The pervasive violent nature of the area, specifically cases of lynching, allowed the Klan to return. Championing the ideals of the Reconstruction era Klan and the “Lost Cause” mentality of the Confederacy, the 1920s Klan incorporated a Protestant religious fundamentalism into their principles, along with nationalism and white supremacy. After gaining influence in McLennan County, Klansmen began participating in politics to further advance their interests. The disastrous 1922 Waco Agreement, concerning the election of a Texas Senator, and Felix D. Robertson’s gubernatorial campaign in 1924 represent the Klan’s first and last attempts to manipulate politics. These failed endeavors marked the Klan’s decline in McLennan County and Texas at large. “The Good Angel of Practical Fraternity:” The Ku Klux Klan in McLennan County, 1915-1924 by Richard H.

Nola: Just call me Woody, dear. Dr. May Paulissen: I can’t thank you enough for having me today. I’ve had quite an interest in the Ferguson story for a long time. But there really isn’t much information on them except what their daughter, Ouida Nalle, wrote in her book. And to meet you—someone who knew them personally—is an opportunity I never would have imagined. Nola: Don’t get too excited, dear. You might not like what I have to say. Dr. Paulissen: I just want the truth. Let’s get started. Remind me again, what was your role in the Ferguson administration? Nola: I was secretary and clerk. Dr. Paulissen: What was that like? Nola: (doesn’t respond at first. Her eyes and voice are far away and distant.) It was so long ago. Dr. Paulissen: Do you remember? Nola: Of course I remember. No one could forget. I feared there were secrets I’d carry to my grave.
