FREESTONE COUNTY HISTORICAL
MUSEUM NEWS
By MRS. I. W. THORNTON, Curator
We have some interesting
paintings in the Freestone Coun-
ty Historical Museum—none by
Michael Angelo or Picasso—but
neither of them lived in Free-
stone County.
We have one painting by L. M.
Saunders, who has had a: paint-
ing in the State Capitol/ building,
I am told. Our painting, which is
some hundred and twenty five
years old, is a picture of his baby
daughter, Helen. Miss Saunders
taught, music in Te&gue for many
years and was a personal friend
of Mrs. Emma Hill,' vftio gave
the portrait to ds;
Mrs. Doris Treadgill brought
ns her portrayal of Eatly Day
Teague. In it, she 1 shows the
train, railway and depot als focal
interests with a panorama of
Teague in the background.
Among our early day furnish-
ings we have a large cane
gift of Mrs. Emma Hill, on which
is a large painting done about
1890 by Miss Martha Bonner,
aunt of Sue and Sarah Thorn-
ton, donors. The painting has
two pictures in one — depicting
two seasons of the year, and is
mounted in an interesting gilt
frame. ■ :l
Mrs. Morris Sneed gave us a
picture done by her mother, Mrs.
Addie Miller Edwards. This is
a religious painting showing
heavenly figures hovering over a
rural village.
At the turn of the stairs we
have a pencil drawing done by
Andrew Houston, brother of Sam
Houston, which is an ocean
scene with boats of that era. Mr.
Houtson gave it to his grand-
daughter Miss Smith who was a
roommate of Miss Mary Fryer
at Sam Houston Normal College,
easel, Huntsville, Texas. Miss Barbara
Last week Mr. and Mrs. Earl
Sheffield, Houston, Texas, sent
us an old milk glass lamp with
metal and brass base that might
well have been the kind of lamp
by which these paintings were
done. The lamp formerly belong-
ed to the patriot, Judge John H.
Reagan, who was the step-grand-
father of Mrs. Sheffield.
We have two recent paintings
executed by Mrs. Marguerite
Briggs of Fairfield Female Col-
lege and First Public School in
Fairfield.
We are very grateful to the
Fairfiel/d Garden Club members,
Mrs. Howard Watson, Sr., and
Mrs. A. H. Bass who worked so
faithfully tp plant some shrubs,
plants and* vines in the back
lawn and around the log cabins.
Hopefully these will make the
cabins look more homelike. It is
surprising what these three de-
termined women Can do — we
practically moved mountains to
re-arrange more secure steps in-
to the log cabins so they will
be safer when the visitors come
to the dedication of the cabins,
which has been tentatively set

Limestone Co. victim again of
human tragedy. It has suffered
more than its share in recent
years with crimes of passion and
violence. Brought to mind the
growing sentiment against Capi-
tal Punishment, they argue it
does not serve as a deterrent to
future crimes but for sure elimi-
nates the possibility of the same
one doing it again. Most of your
sex crimes are done by repeaters.
