The year 1969 deprived the Association of four members whose
deaths have not been previously noted here and whose contributions
to the study of history merit mention. Joseph Lynn Clark, a vice-pres-
ident of the Association from 1925 through 1939, a member of the
Quarterly publication committee from 1942 until 1959, and a Fellow
since 1933, died in Houston on September 13. A historian whose con-
tributions included the writing of textbooks for both junior and sen-
ior high school students and more than forty years association with
Sam Houston State College, Clark finished checking final proofs for
a book entitle Thank God We Made It: A Family Affair with Educa-
tion just before his death.
Seth Sheppard McKay of Lubbock died on June 4. McKay who will
be long remembered for his many volumes on the political history of
Texas, was born in Bell County on January 12, 1888. He received his
B.A. from the University of 'Texas in 1912 and his Ph.D. from the
University of Pennsylvania in 1924. He began teaching history at
Texas 'Tech in 1928, three years after its opening, and remained there
until his retirement as professor emeritus in 1965. McKay was a for-
mer president of the West Texas Historical Association.
Ernest Charles Shearer died at Alpine on September 22 at the age
of 66. Shearer, a native of Denton, received his B.A. at West Texas
State College in Canyon and his Ph.D. from the University of Texas.
During World War II he acted as president of Amarillo College, and
from 1946 to 1956 he served as departmental chairman of history at
the University of Houston. He had been teaching at Sul Ross since
1956, and was walking to class when he suffered a heart attack.
Charles A. Bacarisse, professor of history at the University of Hous-
ton, was drowned in a boating accident on June 22. In 1954 he was
awarded the Clara Driscoll Scholarship for Research in Texas History
by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas. He received his doctorate
in 1955 from the University of Texas, and in the same year he joined
the faculty of the University of Houston. Bacarisse was well known
for his articles on and research in the colonial period of 'Texas history.
In more recent years he shifted his interest to Latin American history
in general and Brazilian history in particular.399
