GRANDSON OF GENERAL
SAM HOUSTON IS HERE
TRAVELLING OVERLAND FROM
WOODWARD. OKLAHOMA, To
SAN ANTONIO.
Says He Has Always Felt That He
Would be More at Home In Tex
as Than Any Other
State In Union.

A grandson and granddaughter of
that illustrious statesman Gen. Sam
Houston spent last night in Waxa-
hachie and were here a greater part
of the day today. With other rela-
tives they are making an overland
trip from Woodward, Okla, to San
Antonio. The nephew is Sam Hous-
ton, a namesake of the general, and
the niece is Mrs. I. G. Durham
They are the children of Temple
Houston Burnham and her husband
beloved General Sam Houston, and
have lived for many years in Okla
homa. In the party are Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. E. Burnham, Mrs. Mary
Houston Murnham and her husband
and Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Houston.
They are making the trip in auto
mobiles and have had some real
trouble, such as breaking a drive
shaft, tearing up cifferential and
various other troubles too numerous
to mention
The party stopped over at the
Powers house on West Main street
last night and received newspa-
per representative very pleasantly
this morning. Mr.. Houston was
spokesman of the party. He said he
would feel very much at home in
San Antonio and in Texas because
it was the home Of his grandfather.
He said he didn't feel exactly right
living outside of Texas anyway and
that he would be glad when they
were comfortably situated as citi-
zens of the Lone Star state.
Mr.. Houston has been connected
with the Corporation commission OF
Oklahoma for five years or more
and is a man prominent in affairs
of our sister state. Following in
the footsteps of his grandfather he
is also military man, having been
member of the Oklahoma National
Guards for some time. He attended
the encampment at San Antonio
last year and was SO fayorably i'm
pressed he decided to come to Texas
to live.
