good sportsmanship, horse-
manship, responsibility and
scholarship. This organiza-
tion contributes to the deve-
lopment of these qualities of
the American yough neces-
sary,in becoming good citi-
zens.
It is appropriate that a
time be set aside for recog-
nizing the contributions the
high school rodens are mgk-
ing to homes and communi-
ties and to encourage these
young people to continue
their work.
THEREFORE, I, as Gov-
l.
J
Mr*. R B. Loggins
Fathers all over the United States, who were especially
remembered with gifts and dinners in their honor on
Father’s Day, recently, can thank Mrs. R. B. Loggins of
West Columbia for originating the idea, more than 30 years
ago, when she was a patient in the Santa Rosa Hospital in
San Antonio.
Mrs. 4oggins had undergone a major operation and
during her convalescence she gave much thought to a
special father’s day, and the San Antonio Express published
several articles about it
On April 13 of 1813, Mrs. Loggins wrote a letter which
was published in The Angleton Times in which she said,
in part:
“I wrote to many of the Southern papers (about
father’s Day) and I hardly expected quite so soon for it
to take the hold that it did. In San Antonio, as well as in
Columbia, there were quite a numebr of pieces that came
out in the papers, including the San Antonio Express, on
the subject, Ill wanting the first Sunday in May to be the .
- day, I had a letter veaterdas from a friends telling me
Indeed, it is sweet to me, and Thope eke long Twh be
observed as universally as Mother’s Day.”
Her maternal grandfather was David Ehelred Dance
who was General Washington’s flag bearer at Valley Forge
during that terrific winter when men left the imprint ot'
bleeding feet in the snow. His toes were frozen off and
he spent his zas days in a rolling chair made by his son.
John Henry Dance, with whom he lived.
Her father, S. H. Winstead, died when Mrs. Loggins was
tour years old. and her mother’s bachelor brothers, James
Henry, George Perry and David Ethelred Dance, became,
as it were, three fathers, provided a magnificent home in.
Columbia for her widowed mother and her children. It was
the depth of love and appreciation for those uncles that
prompted her to tryt have a. day set aside for fathers,
that the same honor and appreciation might be shown them
as had been so lovingly bestowed upon our dear mothers.
They lived with these beloved uncles until she was per-
mitted to attend one of the best normal schools in Tennessee
at Merhphis where Professor T. B. Loggins was dean.
There she met Reuben Burch Loggins, to whom she
was married in 1891 and with this cultured gentleman
moved to Columbia and established her present home.
There, two sons were born and for them and her grand-
children itis desired that her inspirational idea be preserved
through publication throughout the Lone Star State and in
the entire United States.
Mrs. Loggins has painted many replicas of the Old
Capitol at West Columbia on small .pieces of wood which
she collected and preserved when it was torn down She
also made a facsimile coprof the building out of the wood,
living fragments of the original plaster for walks, sand from
the underground cistern tor soil, and twigs and moas from
the Three Oaks for tree and foliage. She had also composed
and set to music several songs and for many years gave at
her best in vodal and instrumental music to the entire
