County Clerk
Starr County, Texas
By Estela G. Garza
Deputy
Remember how many
times you have been asked:
"Your name, please?," and
of course we answer proudly
and clear, sometimes mavbe
it's because we are honored
and like to tell the world: I
AM JOHN DOE...now, some
people are not too sure how
the name is spelled, or how it
is pronounced, or why their
parents chose that name,
when one shortened just
plain Pete or Tom would
have done. Well, that's the
story.
Let's honor the ladies, with
due respect, appreciation
and love to them, they should
be proud of their names, I
am not making fun of them
or trying to embarrass them,
but to honor their names,
because their parents wisely
chose it, Now here is a
bakers dozen of names, I
think they are beautiful:
Consuelo, Esperanza,
Piedad, Crus, Victoria,
Estrella, Sacramento,
Magnolia, Iris, Rosa,
Pantaliona, Simona, and two
for instance that are spelled
as mens names, Guadalupe
and Pilar, and others.
LADIES: Congratulations.
Now let's jot down names
The Magician's Corner
John J Closner, John H.
Shary, Cortina, "Rip" Ford,
Judge S. Lamar Gill, E.
Marvin Goodwin, Ed Couch
and many others.
"We like to say that the 70
chapters covers our Valley
hei itage from El Conde
Escandon to Dan Sanborn,
travel entrepreneur and
philanthropist." explained
Ann Washington, By-Liner
president.
Among contemporary
subjects of the chapters are
Florence Johnson Scott,
Anne Magee, Allan Shivers,
Tiburcio F'emat, Genevieve
Jeffries, Normah Knight, Ila
IiOetscher, V.F. Neuhaus,
Audie Stroud, Cleo Dawson,
Lloyd Bentsen i in a chapter
that also includes his
brother, ihe late Elmer
Bentsen), H. Raymond
Mills, Arnaldo Ramirez, and
Gladys Sarns Porter.
"Roots by the River", like
its companion book "Gift of
the Rio", is professionally
done more than one hun-
dred pictures, hard-cover,
384 pages, an index with
more than 1,000 listings,
bibliography and two-color
dust jacket. It is being
copyrighted and it has a
Library of Congress num-
ber.
of men, that also are won-
derful and honorable, I wish
I could have picked mine
out: Simplicio, Candelario,
Mercurio, Corazon, Proceso,
Presentation, Napoleon,
Atenojenes, Melquiades,
Panfilo Pomposo, Perfeeto,
Tranquilino, and of course
others.
Most of them are easily
translated, but short of time
and paper, please find
someone to help you, if no
one will, drop the paper's
Editor a note and Michael
Angelo will help you out or at
least try. Remember, names
come from back in history
for some reason, event,
custom or are made up due
to their profession, vocation,
some deed, or factors in
their environment, their
lives, etc...
Some years ago, and
maybe still today, some
manufacturing companies
would mai'. out caldendars
with a name for every day of
the year. So people would
look it up and chances were
that your birth date had that
particular name and they
passed it on to you.
Notice in some families
tney choose a letter of the
Your Name, Please...
B\ Michael Angelo
alphabet and all the
children's names start with
that letter. For instance, one
family in a border village I
know start with the letter A,
all: Arthur, Alice, Anthony,
Anna, etc...In most all
families, you of course have
a Junior, boy oh boy...some
were named in this century
after world leaders,
presidents, generals,
historiaas, local politicians,
etc..
Somehow, most of us have
a first name, middle name
and last name, during World
War I and II, and other
conflicts, records show the
middle name NONE, and it
stayed like that as if it was
the middle name..for the
record.
Some long names are
shortened and sound
allright: Peter to Pete,
Robert to Bob, William to
Bill, arid so on down, work up
your name, overhaul it,
shine it up, make it look
pretty, and have it sound
good. Adios and 30.
