The Philosophical Society of Texas
THE CENTENNIAL MEETINGS of The Philo-
sophical Society of Texas were held in two places, on
Saturday, December 4, 1937. The first meeting was held in
the afternoon at Liendo Plantation, early home of Edmund
Montgomery and Elisabeth Ney, east of Hempstead in
Waller County; the Banquet and Annual Meeting were held
in the Rice Hotel in Houston in the evening. The Liendo
meeting was devoted to a commemoration of the work in
Texas of Montgomery and Ney.
A Luncheon was served at noon at the Prairie View State
Normal and Industrial College. During the luncheon, a
much-appreciated program of songs and Negro spirituals
was rendered by the College choir. After luncheon, the mem-
bers gathered at Liendo, where the afternoon program was
given.
Members present at Liendo were Messrs. Rhea, Stephens,
Geiser, Wrather, Battle, George A. Hill, Jr., Wharton,
Lamar, and Potts; and Mrs. Baker. Guests included Mrs.
W. A. Rhea, Mrs. C. S. Potts, Mrs. I. K. Stephens, Mrs.
W. F. Wrather, Mrs. S. W. Geiser, Miss Ann Prescott
Toomev, Miss Winnie Allen, Mrs. George P. Garrison, and
a number of others. Dean Charles Shirley Potts, president
of the Society, presided.
