Richardson To Deliver
Historical Lecture
Dr. Rupert N. Richardson
president emeritus will speak at
a lecture-tea of the U. S. Daugh-
ters of 1812 at the Windsor Hotel
May 14 at 3:00 p. m.
Dr. Richard son known m
throughout the Southwest as an
eminent Texas historian will de-
liver an address on "The Alamo
and It's Heroes.''
The purpose of the lecture-tea.
which is sponsored by the Daugh-
ters of 1812 is to raise money to
erect a monument on the Court
House lawn in honor of the three
Alamo heroes for whom Taylor
County is named.
Legislation was recently
passed by the Texas state gov-
ernment ruling that Taylor
County .was officially named in
honor of the three Taylor broth-
ers from Liberty Texas. The
brothers Edward age 18; James
age 20; and George age 22 died
in defense of the Alamo during:
Texas' fight to gain her independ-
ence. Mrs. Dallas Scarborough presi-
dent of the Daughters said "The
kind of monument erected will
depend on the amount of money
raised but the Daughters of 1812
hone that it will be suffiofpnt fnr
erecting a monument which will
reflect honor on these heroic
boys; on Taylor Countyr and on
the state of Texas."
"We hope that those who can
not attend will buy tickets any-
way and they willbe awarded to
students who excell 'in Texas
historv. and to those students
"who may not otherwise be able
to attend." Tickets for the lec
ture are $1.00 and anyone may
attend.
