  • City of Sugar Land Article
    STREET NAMES IN SUGAR LAND By Bettye Anhaiser, 2009 Have you ever wondered why some streets are named for people? This is a list of a few: ALCORN STREET: Elijah Alcorn, an Old 300 settler between the S. M. Williams and William Stafford leagues, had a sugar mill on his property. ALKIRE LAKE DRIVE: Alkire was the name of the boat captain who oversaw dredging the swampy areas and Oyster Creek in the 1920’s. Alkire Lake is also named for him. AUSTIN STREET, ETC.: Stephen Fuller Austin continued his father’s contract with Mexico to bring 300 families into Texas. Fifty-three of those families settled in Fort Bend County. BELKNAP STREET: Charles Belknap, an old 300 Settler above the Alcorn league, had a sugar mill on his property with his partner George Brown. This was one of the last four sugar mills in the Sugar Land area in the 1920s. BORDEN STREET: Gail Borden, Jr., born 1801 in New York, came to Texas 1829 and farmed and raised stock in Fort Bend County. He surveyed for Stephen F. Austin and acted as secretary for Austin in the absence of S. M. Williams. At San Felipe he started the first newspaper in Texas in 1835; he prepared the first topographical map of Texas. In 1856 he had American and British patents for condensed milk. He died in Borden, Texas, in 1874. BROOKS STREET: Capt. William McCan Brooks came to Sugar Land in 1914 from Brazoria County to manage the farms, tenants, cattle, and crops of potatoes, corn, and cotton for the Sugarland Industries.

  • Condensed Milk (Edited from Wikipedia)
    Condensed Milk (Edited from Wikipedia) SUMMARY Condensed milk is cow's milk from which water has been removed. It is most often found in the form of sweetened condensed milk, with sugar added, and the two terms "condensed milk" and "sweetened condensed milk" are often used synonymously today. Sweetened condensed milk is a very thick, sweet product which when canned can last for years without refrigeration if not opened. Condensed milk is used in numerous dessert dishes in many countries. A related product is evaporated milk, which has undergone a more complex process and which is not sweetened. Evaporated milk is known in some countries as unsweetened condensed milk. HISTORY According to the writings of Marco Polo, in the 13th century the Tatars were able to condense milk. Marco Polo reported that ten pounds of milk paste was carried by each man, who would subsequently mix the product with water. However, this probably refers to the soft Tatar curd, which can be made into a drink by diluting it, and therefore refers to fermented, not fresh, milk concentrate. Nicolas Appert condensed milk in France in 1820, and Gail Borden, Jr., in the United States in 1853, in reaction to difficulties in storing milk for more than a few hours. Before this development, milk could only be kept fresh for a short while and was only available in the immediate vicinity of a cow. While returning from a trip to England in 1851, Borden was devastated by the deaths of several children, apparently from poor milk obtained from shipboard cows. With less than a year of schooling and following a series of failures, both of his own and of others, Borden was inspired by the vacuum pan he had seen being used by Shakers to condense fruit juice and managed to reduce milk without scorching or curdling it.[6] Even then his first two factories failed and only the third, built with new partner Jeremiah Milbank[8] in Wassaic, New York, produced a usable milk derivative that was long-lasting and needed no refrigeration.

    ASHRAE – HOUSTON (Formally South Texas) CHAPTER HISTORY - TO DATE By Bruce Flaniken Historian Emeritus October 26, 2013 (Previous authors/contributors included Clarence Fleming, Bruce Flaniken, Henry C. (Hank) Fry, Pat Powell, Neil Silverman and Chase Williamson) Contributions by the Houston & Texas Area to Region VIII HVAC&R Industry The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc., is celebrating its 119 th Anniversary and the Houston Chapter its 74 th Anniversary this year (2013). As you may imagine, the main interest a hundred years ago was HEATING, then VENTILATION, REFRIGERATION and with AIR CONITIONING dead last since there was no air conditioning at that point in time, except for ventilating breezes through open windows in rooms with high ceilings.. Heating was done by wood burning fireplaces which were replaced with cast iron radiant stoves burning wood and/or coal. As man became more and more concentrated into cities the need to control fire became ever more important, so steam boilers came into vogue for heating buildings. Steam boilers are typically large massive arrangements that require skilled operators so the 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd Class Operating Stationary Engineers licenses were brought into being to keep large boiler installations under safe control and operation. Refrigeration was primarily a northern industry from frozen ponds and rivers in the more northern states, being harvested, stored and sold during warmer weather. River locations were used to provide rotating power from water wheel type of mills to machine shops in order to get the required motive power for rotating mechanisms prior to steam and electricity.

White Baptists supported Negro education as long as blacks went to their own schools. Negroes were encouraged to start their own churches rather than aHcmpt to join with the whites.
