Neal first invaded the masculine sanctity of the Texas Senate in January, 1927, she had already amAssed a series of honors and "fIrsts" in public life which would have been sufficient to secure for her a place of prominence in the history of East Texas. Born near Gayton in Panola County in 1875, she was the daughter of William Lafayette Neal and Martha Ann Gholston Neal both of whom came to Texas from Georgia. The desire of her paJ;cnts to provide their children with good educational opportunities prompted a move from the country home near Clayton to the county seat town of Carthage in 1884. 1 Miss Neal's first contact with high political officials came about 1885 or 1886 when Governor John Ireland came to Carthage for a speaking engagement.

  • The Political Life and Times of Governor Pat M. Neff Of
    PORTRAIT OF A SOUTHERN PROGRESSIVE: THE POLITICAL LIFE AND TIMES OF GOVERNOR PAT M. NEFF OF TEXAS, 1871-1952 Mark Stanley, B.S., M.A. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2011 APPROVED: Richard B. McCaslin, Major Professor and Chair of the Department of History Elizabeth Hayes Turner, Committee Member Roberto Calderón, Committee Member Aaron Navarro, Committee Member John Todd, Committee Member James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Stanley, Mark. Portrait of a Southern Progressive: The Political Life and Times of Governor Pat M. Neff of Texas, 1871-1952. Doctor of Philosophy (History), May 2011, 361 pp., references, 150 titles. Pat M. Neff was a product of his political place and time. Born in Texas in 1871, during Reconstruction, he matured and prospered while his native state did the same as it transitioned from Old South to New South. Neff spent most of his life in Waco, a town that combined New South Progressivism with religious conservatism. This duality was reflected in Neff’s own personality. On moral or religious issues, he was conservative. On economic and social issues, he was Progressive. He thus was a typical Southern Progressive who de-emphasized social and political change in favor of economic development. For instance, as governor from 1921 to 1925, his work to develop and conserve Texas’ water resources brought urbanization and industrialization that made the New South a reality in the state. Neff was a devout Baptist which influenced his politics and philosophy. He was president of Baylor University, a Baptist institution, for fifteen years after leaving the governor s office and he led the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) in the 1940s.

Frances Farenthold: Texas’ Joan of Arc. Master of Arts (History), December 2012, 141 pp., bibliography, 179 titles. Born in 1926, Frances “Sissy” Tarlton Farenthold began her exploration of politics at a young age. In 1942, Farenthold graduated from Hockaday School for Girls. In 1945, she graduated from Vassar College, and in 1949, she graduated from the University of Texas School of Law. Farenthold was a practicing lawyer, participated in the Corpus Christi Human Relations Commission from 1964 to 1969, and directed Nueces County Legal Aid from 1965 to 1967. In 1969, she began her first term in the Texas House of Representatives. During her second term in the House (1971-1972), Farenthold became a leader in the fight against government corruption. In 1972, she ran in the Democratic primary for Texas governor, and forced a close run-off vote with Dolph Briscoe. Soon afterwards in 1972, she was nominated as a Democratic vice- presidential candidate at the Democratic convention, in addition to her nomination as the chairperson of the National Women’s Political Caucus.
