II THE DAVIS FAMILY and THEIR CONNECTIONS By JEWEL DAVIS SCARBOROUGH ( Mrs. Dallas Scarborough) Box 608, Abilene, Texas PRINTED BY ABILENE PRINTING COMPANY ABILENE, TEXAS COPYRIGHT, 1952 BY JEWEL DAVIS SCARBOROUGH. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PUBLISHED-1952 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATE.S OF AMERICA. ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND THANKS Family histories are never finished, and though this one was started more than forty years ago, it is still unfinished, and has many omissions, and perhaps mistakes, but may serve to inspire members of the family to send in data they may have, which will help to complete the record. Thou­ sands of letters have been written, in preparation of this history, many trips made to far away inaccessible places and cemeteries, and hundreds of interviews held with in­ terested people. Court Records have been searched, old wills read, and Bible Records unearthed which had been forgot­ ten for generations. Some letters have been answered promptly, with accurate information, while others have failed to reply or if they did reply, gave meager data. To those of you who have been gracious in your replies, and generous in sending in your family records, the Author is eternally grateful, but it is to your own descendants that you have made this contribution of time and effort, and it is a tribute we all should pay to those worthy ancestors of ours who paved the way for our liberty, our prosperity and our happiness. It would be impossible to mention all of the people who have made this history possible, but my deepest debt of gratitude is due to Eleanor Davis McSwain, and her husband, Horace L.

  • Women's History Is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating in Communities
    Women’s History is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating In Communities A How-To Community Handbook Prepared by The President’s Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History “Just think of the ideas, the inventions, the social movements that have so dramatically altered our society. Now, many of those movements and ideas we can trace to our own founding, our founding documents: the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And we can then follow those ideas as they move toward Seneca Falls, where 150 years ago, women struggled to articulate what their rights should be. From women’s struggle to gain the right to vote to gaining the access that we needed in the halls of academia, to pursuing the jobs and business opportunities we were qualified for, to competing on the field of sports, we have seen many breathtaking changes. Whether we know the names of the women who have done these acts because they stand in history, or we see them in the television or the newspaper coverage, we know that for everyone whose name we know there are countless women who are engaged every day in the ordinary, but remarkable, acts of citizenship.” —- Hillary Rodham Clinton, March 15, 1999 Women’s History is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating In Communities A How-To Community Handbook prepared by the President’s Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History Commission Co-Chairs: Ann Lewis and Beth Newburger Commission Members: Dr. Johnnetta B.

  • How Public Art Gets Lost - and Saved - in Philly
    How public art gets lost - and saved - in Philly JANUARY 8, 2016 by Samantha Melamed For fans of public art in Philadelphia, it still stings to think about that day in 1998 when word got out that an iconic wall sculpture by artist Ellsworth Kelly had been removed from the old Greyhound office building, quietly sold, and given to New York's Museum of Modern Art. It wasn't the first or last great work of public art to be lost to Philadelphia through some combination of intercity poaching, heedless development, and neglect. In fact, even as the Gallery mall closed for renovations Jan. 1, the fate of its public art remained unclear. The same goes for other works that have languished in storage, with limited money for preservation. Still, losing the work by Kelly, who died Dec. 27, wasn't entirely a bad thing, said Penny Balkin Bach, executive director of the Association for Public Art, a nonprofit that commissions, preserves, and promotes works in the city. "The removal of the Kelly was this sort of slap-in-the-face wake-up call that we needed as a city and as a cultural community to pay more attention to these kinds of things," she said. Her organization has become more proactive since, as have art fans. "Having the public's eyes and ears alert is probably our greatest protection." Now, scrap yards call her when they come across bronze sculptures they suspect have been stolen, and New York gallery owners tip her off when important works come up for sale.
