Miss Rubie Rousseau loaned a
miniature coffee bucket which
had contained John Bremond
coffee.
Miss Gloria Thompson
grought a list of civil war vet-
erans who were buried in the
Mesquite Cemetery in the Lex-
ington area.
The financial drive was dis-
cussed and the fact was stressed
that approximately $40.00 is
lacking toward the attainment
of the goal of $200.00 set by the
Texas State Historical Founda-
tion. Lee County is in competi-
tion with all Texas counties and
are nearing their goal. Those in-
terested in the preservation of
the history of the area are urged
to contribute so that the goal
may be reached.
LCHSC members voted to
purchase a leather bound copy
of “Robert E. Lee,” written by
Jefferson Davis and edited by
Colonel Harold B. Simpson.
There were 100 copies pub-
lished commemorating the cen-
tenial (100 year anniversary) of
the civil war. The volume con-
tains a portfolio of 16 photo-
graphs of General Lee, and por-
trays an intimate history of his
life and activities, written by
one closely associated with him
for many years
A report on historical mark-
ers was heard, and it was dis-
closed that preliminary arrange-
ments have been made for the
erection of a marker at the site
of Old Evergreen Tree and Ear-
ly Chapel Cemetery.
The next historical marker to
be erected will be at the town
site of Dime Box, which has a
colorful history and was the
place of origin for a Polio drive
during the Roosevelt adminis-
tration.
A history of Citizens State
Bank was presented by the
bank's president, which will be
used in context by Mrs. Killen

Da trat Erich an die Rampe

"Nein!" entgegnete sie noch
