STORIES OF GREAT
TEXANS
Oscar Branch Colquitt, dean
of our seven surviving gover-
nors, is now 76, and approaches
life’s golden sunset in semi-re-
tirement, rich in the conscious-
ness of a life well spent and
reveling in the fragrance of
many beautiful flowers blos-
soming in his rose garden of
golden memories.
James S. Ferguson, now 67,
still dabbles with politics, but
his greatest delight is in the
development of his dairy cat-
tie and operation of bis cream-
ery. Every summer he do-
nates several thousand quarts
of milk to the underprivileged
children of Austin.
William Pleasant Hobby,
sow 60, directs the editorial
and business destiny of The
Houston Post and takes an ac-
tive part in every civic better-
ment of Texas’ largest city.
But the star of hk life k the
six-year-old son, William, a
veritable mental prodigy,
whose progress k watched with
worship akin to idolatry-
Pat Monk Neff, now 67, k
making his presidency of Bay-
lor University, the very zenith
of his brilliant public career.
The famous old school that
was chartered in the days of
the republic now enjoys the
best financial condition in its
entire history, and rigid obedi-
ence to authority now per-
meates the entire student body.
Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson,
now 68, typical daughter of
the Old South, gives all of her
time to her home and Bowers,
and lets the political world go
by without a single thought.
Dan Moody k now 46, and
the energy that swept him into
the governor’s office by a ma-
jority of 225,128 votes is free-
ly employed in the practice of
law. The Moody children are
growing up fast now. Dan
Junior is 9 and Nancy Paxton
is 5.
Ross Shaw Sterling, now SS.
heads his own oil and refining
company and has producing
wells in numerous South Tex-
as fields, but in spite of his well
known prowess as an oil man,
hk absorbing hobby is the hun-
dred-acre farm adjoining hk
Bayshore home 26 miles out of
Houston, where he has some
of the finest bogs hi the state,
and when starts talking about
his coin and hogs, he forgets
all about the oil business—and
even polities.
