1 Board of Management February 13-14, 2015 the DAUGHTERS OF THE DAUGHTERS OF THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS BOARD OF MANAGEMENT MEETING Minutes of the Regular Meeting February 13-14, 2015 Hyatt Lost Pines Hotel, Bastrop, Texas The regular meeting of the Board of Management (BOM) of the Daughters of The Republic of Texas met on Friday, February 13, 2015, at the Ranger Room, Hyatt Lost Pines,Texas. President General Ellen S. McCaffrey declared the presence of a quorum and called the meeting called to order at 8:40 am. Members Present: Ellen McCaffrey, Betty Edwards, Carolyn Raney, Nancy Matlock, Melissa Goodrich, Beverly Locklin, Pat Horridge, Esther Silva, Janie Babcock, K. Jenschke, Elizabeth White, Barbara Stevens, Debra Pearson, Ora Jane Johnson, Nona Hoyer, Mary Ann Oliver, Ronda Helton, Karen Thompson, GayNell Wells, Kathy Howell, Arlene Garey, Billie Dawson, Lacretia McReynolds Excused absence: Kim Zapalac, Susan Aikin Guests: Kay Crews, John Ellen Becker, Nancy Shurtleff, Dorothy Landoll, Sam Myers, Pam Lyn, Martha Withers, Elizabeth Hedges, Leslie Recine, Melinda Tomerlin, Richard Linex, Jean Sitterle Chaplain General Nancy Matlock gave the invocation. Fifth Vice President General Carolyn Raney led the pledges to the U.S. and Texas Flags. Baron de Bastrop Chapter President Dorothy Gaddis welcomed the Board to Bastrop and invited the board to visit. She gave local tourist information and maps. REPORTS OF THE OFFICERS GENERAL PRESIDENT GENERAL ELLEN S. MCCAFFREY filed My routine travel schedule continues with trips to Austin and San Antonio for committee meetings and attorney consultation. Ideally, a package of applications will appear in the mail just before a trip to Austin rather than just after I return. Our Convention Chairman invited me to join her in San Antonio for the convention menu planning (food tasting) – it was so nice to have a driver! We owe Elisabeth White a great debt of gratitude for being chair one more time. In December, 10 Daughters traveled to Washington, DC for the chartering of the Elisabet Ney Chapter. The chartering was lovely; the ladies were very hospitable, friendly and interesting. We toured the White House to see the Christmas decoration – they just left you speechless! We toured the Capital where we saw Elisabet Ney’s statue of Sam Houston. It was a fun, cold weekend with great companions. Attendance at the Alamo employees’ Christmas party was larger and noisier – which translates to: “fun was had by all.” I took a prospective member with me to Miss Ima Hogg’s Christmas luncheon. 1 Board of Management February 13-14, 2015 January has been fairly quiet, allowing me to handle several tedious but necessary chores. Dusky Waters resigned as Bylaws Chairman. K. Jenschke and I reviewed the Manual of Procedure, made a few changes needed to conform to the 2014 bylaws. Members of the Bylaws Committee helped to review and proof it. The list of chapters by district was out of date by several years. Chapters that disbanded in the last two years are kept but marked disbanded; the active chapters are now current up to and including the Elisabet Ney Chapter in Washington and the Pinckney Chapter in Mabank! After indexing, it was sent to the Webmaster. The Nominating Committee brought to our attention a paragraph missing from the 2012 bylaws revision. Corrections have been made, both to the bylaws and the MOP with an explanation printed in RED. The most current Bylaws and Manual of Procedure can be found on the members’ website – many thanks to our fantastic Webmaster! She will keep the MOP updated with any changes approved by the board at the last two meetings of the current term. Our Webmaster also researched and set up PayPal on the website for the Republic of Texas Museum. They can now sell tickets to their symposium online. Attempts to meet with Jerry Patterson before he left office as Commissioner of the General Land Office were not successful. We are now working towards a meeting with the new commissioner. Larry Laine was re-appointed as Deputy Clerk of the GLO and the Alamo falls under his supervision. I am sure you have seen the announcement in the papers that the GLO hired Becky Dinnin as Alamo Director for the GLO. She will be responsible for the “strategic leadership of the Alamo” – her expertise is in communications, capital fundraising, tourism promotion and management – she has worked for the SA Chamber of Commerce for 7 years. Born in Plainview and raised in Groom (outside of Amarillo) she has an MBA from SMU and an undergraduate degree in journalism from Baylor University. Melinda Tomerlin will continue as Alamo Executive Administrator The Legislature is in session! There are currently three bills that we are watching and Leslie Recine will be here later today to discuss those. Leslie is being very helpful as we wade through all the activity going on in Austin during this session. Her knowledge and experience are most appreciated. On Friday, February 27th, I invite you to join me at the State Cemetery for the dedication of a cenotaph in honor of Jose Antonio Navarro! On a sad note, Annie Burney, is retiring as Shrine Hostess at the Alamo. I have been a Daughter for nearly 35 years and Annie is the only Chapel Hostess I can remember. She has served both the Alamo and the Daughters honorably and graciously. She will be missed in the Shrine. Motion #1. Corresponding Secretary General Pat Horridge moved that the DRT Board of Management approve the Lym Architecture PLLC contract for the design of the Republic of Texas History Complex building. ADOPTED TREASURER GENERAL BEVERLY LOCKLIN filed Your Treasurer General attended the BOM November meeting in San Antonio. She opened a new unrestricted investment account at Edward Jones in November. With this new account, the DRT now has seven accounts with Edward Jones; all but this new account are restricted. The money in the new account will be held as reserve funds for use when and as needed. On November 13, The Treasurer General met with the DRT Republic of Texas Museum Committee to hear the final presentation from Mr. Kim Williams, Museum Planner, who was hired to provide “a concept plan for the interpretive exhibits within the designated museum space” in the new DRT Headquarters. As part of his report, he distributed the document “Museum Concept Plan Booklet” and made a power point presentation. 2 Board of Management February 13-14, 2015 Most of the DRT Insurance policies are renewed yearly in November. The DRT Treasurer General and DRT Accountant met with Mr. Gary Grissom, DRT Insurance Agent, to discuss the various policies. Mr. Grissom answered questions and made suggestions about other insurance policies to be considered by DRT. On November 18, the DRT Treasurer General and the DRT Accountant had a telephone meeting with Mollie Cullinane, a lawyer who works with nonprofits. The meeting was primarily to discuss how DRT should handle the situation with the chapters that lost their IRS status for not filing a 990- N e-Postcard for three consecutive years. During this meeting Ms. Cullinane provided only general information. Again on January 27, the Treasurer General and Accountant met with Ms. Cullinane by phone. For this meeting she requested several items be sent to her so that she could provide more specific information about how to help the chapters reestablish their IRS status. In December, the Treasurer General joined several other BOM members to attend the Alamo appreciation dinner in San Antonio. There were two called Finance Committee meetings: one in December and one in January. Please see the Finance Committee Report for descriptions of these meetings. In January, the Treasurer General and the Accountant met in San Antonio at the Alamo Research Center (formerly, DRT Library at the Alamo) with Leslie Stapleton, Director, and Madalene Morgan, Library and Administrative Assistant. They met to discuss several follow-up matters pertaining to the DRT Library Collection bank accounts that are now handled at DRT Headquarters in Austin. The Treasurer General has been active in her DRT Chapter. She attended the November meeting, the Christmas Party in December, and the January meeting. She is member of the nominating committee and also was on the committee that reviewed and revised the Chapter Bylaws. Mr. Sam Myers, contract accountant to the DRT, spoke to the Board. Motion #2 Treasurer General Beverly Locklin Beverly Locklin moved that the BOM approve the recommendation of the Finance Committee to remove the designation of the unrestricted net assets held in the Kate Harding Bates Parker Endowment Account, and that the funds be transferred to the DRT Library Collection General Operating Account. ADOPTED Motion # 3 Treasurer General Beverly Locklin moved that the BOM approve the recommendation of the Finance Committee to remove the designation of the unrestricted net assets held in the Staff Development Fund and the funds be transferred to the DRT Library Collection General Operating Account. ADOPTED Motion # 4 Treasurer General Beverly Locklin moved the BOM approve the recommendation of the Finance Committee to designate $10,000 held in the Acquisition Account for the future acquisitions of books and other collections and transfer the remaining amount in the Acquisition Account into the DRT Library Collection General Operating Account. ADOPTED Motion # 5 Treasurer General Beverly Locklin moved that the BOM approve the recommendation of the Finance Committee to award a NTLP grant to the French Legation Museum Committee for $16,313.00 for various repairs and replacements. The five items in this request are (1) replacements of HVAC and thermostats in the Historic House, Kitchen and Carriage House; (2) repair to Carriage House gable, (3) rodent control in the Carriage House, (4) lighting repairs in all three structures, and (5) removal of tree leaning on the stone wall.

  • Miscellaneous
    MISCELLANEOUS. KLISABET NEY. We publish in this number, as our frontispiece, a photogravure of Schopen- hauer's bust made by Elisabet Ney, a disciple of Rauch, and one of our most prom- inent American artists, who, before she came to the United States, acquired an en- viable European fame. She has modelled from life the busts of many famous men of science, were Humboldt, among whom Jacob Grimm, and Liebig ; of statesmen and heroes, among them Bismarck and Garibaldi ; of artists, among these Kaul- bach and Joachim ; of kings, among these George of Hanover, and a statue of Lud- wig II. of Bavaria, now at the celebrated castle of Linderhoff, etc,, etc. While she lived at Frankfort in 1859, Schopenhauer had not yet attained to the fame of his later years, but Elisabet Ney was interested in the great prophet of pessimism. She was well acquainted with his works, and foresaw the influence which the grumbling misanthrope would wield over all generations to come. She knew very well that he was a woman hater who thought that women could never accomplish anything either in science or in the arts. But this only made her find it the more attractive and humorous to converse with him and prove to him what women could do. Schopenhauer was very much impressed with the young sculptress, and con- fessed to friends of his, as seen in many of his printed letters, that she was an ex- ception to the rule. While he was sitting to have his bust taken, he was as a rule animated and full of interesting gossip, mostly of a philosophical nature.

The defend- ers at the Alamo were under fire from Santa Anna, and Texas still had not officially declared independence from Mexico. When delegates to the first Consultation met in November 1835, they had a decision to make. Should they support Texas remaining a part of Mexico and continue to work on restoring the state’s rights granted in the Constitution of 1824? Or should they seek independence? They called a second meeting of the Consultation on March 1, 1836, hoping that events would help them make their decision.

  • Hill Country Trail Region
    Inset: Fredericksburg’s German heritage is displayed throughout the town; Background: Bluebonnets near Marble Falls ★ ★ ★ reen hills roll like waves to the horizon. Clear streams babble below rock cliffs. Wildfl owers blanket valleys in a full spectrum of color. Such scenic beauty stirs the spirit in the Texas Hill Country Trail Region. The area is rich in culture and mystique, from fl ourishing vineyards and delectable cuisines to charming small towns with a compelling blend of diversity in heritage and history. The region’s 19 counties form the hilly eastern half of the Edwards Plateau. The curving Balcones Escarpment defi nes the region’s eastern and southern boundaries. Granite outcroppings in the Llano Uplift mark its northern edge. The region includes two major cities, Austin and San Antonio, and dozens of captivating communities with historic downtowns. Millions of years ago, geologic forces uplifted the plateau, followed by eons of erosion that carved out hills more than 2,000 feet in elevation. Water fi ltered through limestone bedrock, shaping caverns and vast aquifers feeding into the many Hill Country region rivers that create a recreational paradise. Scenic beauty, Small–town charm TxDOT TxDOT Paleoindian hunter-gatherers roamed the region during prehistoric times. Water and wildlife later attracted Tonkawa, Apache and Comanche tribes, along with other nomads who hunted bison and antelope. Eighteenth-century Spanish soldiers and missionaries established a presidio and fi ve missions in San Antonio, which became the capital of Spanish Texas. Native American presence deterred settlements during the era when Texas was part of New Spain and, later, Mexico.

Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2011 APPROVED: Elizabeth Hayes Turner, Major Professor Richard B.

Spencer, Committee Member and Director of the Women’s Studies Program James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Fish, Birney Mark. Mary Jones: Last First Lady of the Republic of Texas. Doctor of Philosophy (History), December 2011, 275 pp., 3 tables, 2 illustrations, bibliography, 327 titles. This dissertation uses archival and interpretive methods to examine the life and contributions of Mary Smith McCrory Jones in Texas. Specifically, this project investigates the ways in which Mary Jones emerged into the public sphere, utilized myth and memory, and managed her life as a widow. Each of these larger areas is examined in relation to historiographicaly accepted patterns and in the larger context of women in Texas, the South, and the nation during this period. Mary Jones, 1819-1907, experienced many of the key early periods in Anglo Texas history. The research traces her family’s immigration to Austin’s Colony and their early years under Mexican sovereignty. The Texas Revolution resulted in her move to Houston and her first brief marriage. Following the death of her husband she met and married Anson Jones, a physician who served in public posts throughout the period of the Texas Republic. Over time Anson was politically and personally rejected to the point that he committed suicide.

EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION II THE WAR AND PEACE PARTIES OF PRE-REVOLUTIONARY TEXAS, 1832-1835 by lodella D. Kite Although many people are conversant with the Texas Revolution and events leading to it, relatively little research has been published until recently on the War and Peace parties of 1832-1835. These two factions within the Anglo-American population of Texas helped to sway public opinion both for and against armed conflict in the crucial days leading to the revolution. The War and Peace parties cannot be defined easily because they were not established political parties. They were labels faT persons of opposing political dispositions. Both factions surfaced during the disturbances of 1832. Members of the War Party either participated in the disturbances or condoned them. The Peace Party, probably repre­ senting more Texans throughout the period, loudly criticized the agita­ tion.
