BOUT .thirty-five years ago
a bright young French-
man by the name of
Thomas Reneau landed
at San Felipe, Texas, and
engaged in farming. By his in-
dustrious habits and gentlemanly
bearing he soon won the esteem
of the best people in that commu-
nity, and in the course of a few
months was married to Miss An-
nie Munger, the accomplished
daughter of Judge Munger, a
noted jurist of early Texas his-
tory. Mr- Reneau was a money-
maker, and acquired considerable
property. But in about fifteen
years he died, leaving a wife and
siv children to mourn his loss.
Some time last year his father,
who still lived in France, died,
leaving an estate valued at 845,-
000,000. It is estimated that each
one of Mr. Reneau's children,
who ara living at Sealy, Texas,
will receive one and a quarter-
million dollars to their share.
