On January 15 bodies of three members of the Texas Navy,
Marine Captain Robert Oliver, Navy Lieutenant Charles F.
Fuller, and Midshipman Fielding R. Culp, which had been buried
for more than a century in New Orleans, were brought to Austin
and interred in the State Cemetery. The reburial was made pos-
sible through the efforts of the Sons of the Republic of Texas.
Colonel Martin L. Crimmins, distinguished member of the
Association, died on February 5, 1955. A native New Yorker who
became an outstanding Texan, Colonel Crimmins interrupted
his medical training at the University of Virginia to begin his
army career as a volunteer in Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders
during the Spanish-American War. Until his retirement in 1926
he remained in the military and served variously in the United
States, Europe, and the Orient. In retirement he devoted himself
increasingly to scientific and historical investigations and became
an active member and officer in numerous learned societies in
addition to the Association. He served as president of the El Paso
Archaelogical Society, of the Texas Folk Lore Society, of the San
Antonio Historical Association, and of the Texas Archaeological
and Paleontological Association, as vice president of the West
Texas Historical and Scientific Society and the West Texas His-
torical Association, and was elected a fellow of the Texas Academy
of Science.
Colonel Crimmins contributed extensively to numerous his-
torical and scientific periodicals. His publications in the South-
western Historical Quarterly include:
"American Powder's Part in Winning Texas Independence,"
LIII;
"An Episode in the Texas Career of General David E. Twiggs,"
XLI;
"Colonel George Croghan and the Indian Situation in Texas
in 1847," LVI;
