Notes |
- “Esther was born in Austin, baptized there in St. David’s Episcopal Church and confirmed in All Saints’ Chapel some years later. She learned her A B C’s at the private kindergarten and primary school of Miss Numbers. In 1904 she entered the private Whitis Prepatory School, affiliated with the University of Texas, and graduated in Jun 1911. She entered the University of Texas that fall and was soon initiated into the National Sorority, Pi Beta Phi.
“In September 1913 she entered the Domestic Science Department of Newcomb College, the co-ed division of Tulane University in New Orleans, La. There she affiliated with the Newcomb chapter of Pi Beta Phi. Weekends were for social life and taking advantage of the cultural side of that historical city, such as attending the French Opera, concerts, ballets, and the theater.
“The next year Esther elected to stay at home to join in the social life of young ladies. In 1916 she was a charter member of the Settlement Club, a charitable organization composed of her friends, that is still in existence. World War I found her helping with Red Cross work and other activities associated with the war effort and later taking part in civic and cultural projects. She is still an active member of the Austin Art League, Group II, organized in 1925, a small social and study group of old-time friends.
“From 1943 through 1947 she held a War Service position in the Austin Post Office. During the Korean War she was called back on War Service, remaining until 1963. The year 1973 finds her and her single brother living in the family home in Austin.”
