(By Mrs. Charles H. Linney
- The William Roark
Chapter, Daughters of the
Republic of TexaB,
dedicated a bronze grave
marker to be placed on the
grave of Isaac Lee, Texas
Revolutionary War
veteran, in ceremonies
Sunday, Oct. 30 at Shiloh
Church.
The prelude and
processional were played
by Mrs. Harold Parker.
"Joyful, Joyful, We Adore
Thee" was- sung by soloist
Mrs. Steven Daniel.
The invocation was given
by Mrs. Gordon Johnspn.
The assembly then rose for
the pledge to the flag of the
United States of America,
followed by a salute to the
Texas flag. Both were lead
by Mrs. Morris Yea tes.
Scripture from the 27th
Psalm was read by Mrs.
Robert L.Pettit.
Mrs. Henry Rose,
president of the William
Roark Chapter, and First
Vice President of the State
Daughters of the Republic
of Texas gave "The Call to
Remembrance" honoring
all those who have fought
for our freedom, often at
the sacrifice of their own
lives. She was followed by
Mrs. Tom Kennedy who
gave a special tribute to
>ur loved ones.
Mrs. Rose presented Dr.
F. Lynn Williams of Dallas,
who is a seventh generation
descendant of Isaac Lee.
Dr. Williams gave a brief
history of the life of his
illustrous ancestor. Isaac
Lee came to Texas April 15,
1828, and remained a
citizen for the rest of his
life. He participated in the
"Battle of Nacogdoches"
on Aug. 2, 1832 as a mem-
ber of Capt. Sam Davis'
Company. He was later a
member of the First
Regiment of Calvary of
Volunteers, serving with
them from July 8 to Oct. 8,
1836. He was born in Clark
Co., Ga. on Feb. 8,1799, and
died in Cherokee County,
Texas, Oct. 4, 1880, and is
buried in Shiloh Cemetery.
In consideration of his ser-
vice to the Republic of
Texas in helping to gain
their freedom, he was
awarded a "Bounty
Warrant" of land for 320
acres in Harrison County,
Patent No. 9794. The only
place he lived in Cherokee
County was at Fort Lacy
Place. This research on
Isaac Lee was done by
another descendant, Mrs.
Raymond Huttash of
Jacksonville.
Following Dr. William's
address, Mrs. Steven
Daniel sang "The Lord's
Prayer" and then asked for
a moment of silence.
Mrs. Frances Cates,
another descendant of
Isaac Lee.unveiled the
marker, which was then
consecrated by Mrs. Fisher
Harrison, Jr. and Mrs.
Lester Rozelle.
In closing, Mrs. Marion
Bolton recited a poem
stressing devotion and love
for the country. The
benediction was given by
Mrs. Charles H. Linney.
Ushers were Mrs. A. B
Allen and Mrs. Coy Smith
and registrar was Mrs. J.
E. Christopher. ,
Descendants of Isaac Let-
present at the grave
marker dedication were
Verdelle Lee Corley and
Audrey Lee Hodges o¡
Henderson; Erma Lee
Linthicum, Sacul; Lester
Lee, Ballard; and Otha Lee
Crenshaw of Alto. Mrs
Crenshaw was a great-
granddaughter of Isaac
Lee and was the oldest
descendant present
All the above descend
from Isaac Lee's son,
Larkin.
Also present were these
descendants of Mary Ann
Lee, who was brought to
Texas on horseback at four
months of age in April 1828,
Mrs. Ogreta W. Huttas! of
Jacksonville and her
children, Martha Huttash
of Dallas and Ray Huttash
of Denton.

who unveiled the marker;

Dallas, the featured

generation Texan; Mrs.
Sue Crusturner and

Mrs. Stacia Odabachian,
Eddie and Ryan of Fort
Lauderdale, Fla. The latter
two children, Eddie and
Ryan hold dual citizen-
ships, Texas and Mexico.
They are eight generations
from Isaac Lee.
State Comptroller Bob
Bullock Wednesday sent
city sales tax rebate checks
a full week early because
many taxpayers paid by
the 20th of last month—as
all taxpayers will be
required to do this month.
"We're sending these
checks early because
134,000 Texas taxpayers
paid before the deadline,"
Bullock said. "This kind of
cooperation among tax-
payers is helping us avoid
new and higher taxes. It's
obvious this change will
help local governments put
these tax revenues to work
faster in their cities."
Starting in November, all
taxpayers will be required
to file by the 20th of the
month instead of by the last
day of the month.
The earlier deadline set
by the Legislature will
bring in $500 million more
for the current state budget
without a tax increase.
Bullock said this month's
early payments "show that
Texas merchants have ac-
cepted this change in the
same spirit it was
suggested—to save us from
a tax increase."
Texas cities received
$103.7 million in city sales
tax rebates for November.
The November payments
pushed the city rebates for
this year to $675 million, up
44 percent over yearly
payments to date during
1982.
Alto received $6020.48 for
the payment period ending
Nov. 4. This figure com-
pares to the $5,242.46 paid
to the city during a com-
parable time period last
year.
The total paid to Alto to
date is $35,316.47, up from
$34,280.84 paid to the city
by the same time last year.
The city showed a new gain
of 3.02 percent.
Jacksonville received
$100,907.98 for the Novem-
ber allotment. This figure
compares to $96,373.90 ear-
ned last year during a
comparable time period.
The total paid to
Jacksonville to date is
$719,374.42, up from the
$660,358.40 paid to the city
by the same time period
last year. The city showed
a new gain of 8.94 percent
during the current repor-
ting period.
Rusk received $20,136.61
for the time period ending
Nov. 4. This figure com-
pares to the $19,106.29 paid
to Rusk during the same
time period last year.
The total paid to the city
so far in 1963 is $126,329.22,
up from the $122,714.96 paid
to Rusk last year. The in-
crease for this time period
is 2.95 percent over last
year for Rusk.
Wells received a check
for $1,821.21, up from the
$1,526.28 received by the
city for the same time
period last year. The City
of Wells has received a
total of $12,023.47 for the
year-to-date payments,
compared to $8,922.28
received in the sales tax
rebates for the same time
period last year for an in-
crease of 34.76 percent.
