Memory Walk Brick--This is one of the 650 engraved bricks that will make up the San Augustine Garden Club's "Memory Walk" on the Southwest part of the Courthouse lawn. This brick was on the top of the stack when the Garden Club received the shipment this past week. This particular brick is in honor of Lurette Mitchell, an elementary teacher for over 40 years, most of those years spent in the San Augustine Schools. Mrs. Mitchell now resides at Twin Lakes Care Center.
The May 10, 2007 issue of the San Augustine Tribune featured a photo of a Teacher's Reception held at the Twin Lakes Center. Lurette Mitchell was pictured, and it was noted that she taught for 47 years mostly 2nd grade, starting out in a one-room school in the Harmony Community, later teaching in San Augustine.

Sam Ramsey emailed, in January 2012, that the "Birth date of William Charles Ramsey was December 20, 1868 in Rural Burkville-Newton County, Texas. Died January 23, 1930 in San Augustine, Texas. Source: The Genealogy of Benjamin F. Ramsey (1837-1913), his father."
"KILLED BY LIGHTNING: Mr. W. C. Ramsey left the city Tuesday afternoon hurriedly in an effort to reach the train in Nacogdoches, having just received the awful news that his brother Frank, who lives near Cisco in Eastland county, had been killed and another brother, Eddy, seriously injured.
It seems the young men had just finished planting potatoes and had sat down at the end of the row reviewing the work while the little thunder cloud passed away. Frank and Eddy Ramsey are well known to the people of the southern portion of the county and we seriously regret the awful accident, and sympathize with their many relatives. San Augustine Visitor."

When Galen Rarick died last June 15 in Eugene, the university community and the field of journalism education lost more than a distinguished scholar and good friend. Professor Rarick was one of the true and few renaissance figures in a professional field known for its diversity.
Galen was a bridge, bringing together people from different and often competing disciplines. He spoke the languages of art and technology, of business and philosophy. Better still, he was known to students and colleagues alike as a warm, caring person a man who put other people first.
He also, fortunately, put the University of Oregon first. When he was recruited in 1962 to develop the School of Journalism's program in communication theory and research, the faculty recognized it was a coup to attract this Stanford Ph.D.with strong journalism credentials. He soon became one of the most respected journalism educators in the country.
It was almost inevitable that Oregon would lose him to a larger university. In 1967, he went to Ohio State, where he cemented his reputation for significant research into newspaper policies and practices. But he was persuaded to return to Eugene as dean in 1976, where his skills guided the school successfully through an era of dwindling resources.
Galen served as dean for five years, earning the trust and admiration of faculty for what one of his colleagues, Roy Paul Nelson, described as "uncommon patience and disarming determination." Another emeritus professor, Jack Ewan, called Galen "The Great Negotiator." Galen returned to the teaching faculty in 1981, completing 16 years with the school before retiring from full time teaching in 1987.
He was born April 28, 1923 in Muncie, Indiana, into a devoted and close family that included five sisters and two brothers. After receiving a bachelor's degree from the University of Denver and a master's from Stanford, Galen embarked on a 10 year journalism career that included three years as the owner and publisher of a weekly newspaper in Mississippi and three years on the staff of the Congressional Quarterly in Washington.
After returning to Stanford for doctoral studies, Galen taught at Hardin Simmons University and UC Berkeley before coming to University of Oregon. But the most significant and satisfying event in Galen's adult life was his marriage in 1952 to Betty Lou Johnson. They enjoyed a close and loving relationship until her death in 1992. Two sons, Jeff of Keizer, Oregon, and Ethan of Walnut Creek, California, survive them.
Galen Rarick will be remembered for many qualities, but perhaps no more endearing than his well developed sense of irony, his mastery of the art of understatement and his good natured wit. They combined to make him a master story teller. He will be missed.

Sharon Nemeth emailed, in November 2008, that "I have done some further research into Mr. Redmond's background using the 1920 Census in South Dakota. The census has Burton spelled with a "u," not an "e," as is used in the marriage announcement. His middle initial was S. The page he is reported on was taken 08 Jan 1920, so Agnes is not listed with him. He was 28 yrs. old, born in Iowa, employed as a butcher, and was a roomer with the Samuel Alberts family. Mr. Alberts was a theatre manager.
Burt's father was William Redmond, who immigrated to the United States from Ireland in 1904. He was 56 at the time of the 1920 census, so would have been born about 1864. Burt's mother, Martha, was born in Iowa; she was 55, so her birth year would have been 1865. There were 3 children--all born in Iowa--listed as still living with Burt's parents: Lloyd, a manager of a produce station [hard to read, but "station" is my guess] (23), Nettie (20), and Gladys (17). The two daughters were not employed."
His FindAGrave memorial page shows him as Pvt. Co A 33 Texas Cavalry, Confederate States of America, and as a son of Aaron Redus (1787-1858) and Lucy Ann Oglesby (1798-1856).

(Research):Joe Reeves shows that he was the son of John Hardy Reeves, and that he moved to Guinnet County, GA by 1818, and later to Texas. He lists his spouse as unknown. He shows Richard as being buried in Milam.
