HOUSTON'S HOME | 15 TEXAS SHRINE 0 Place Being Restored to e L Huntsville, Texas, Secpt. 1 P—- The homestead to which Gen. Sam Houston retired when he was de- posed as governor of Texas Le- oguse he refused to swear allegi- ance to the confederacy, and the house in which ne died, lonely and broken-hearted, are being restored to their original rustic beauty. The work of making the grounds a state park and the old home & shrine for the people of Texas soon will be completed. The legislature appropriated $15.000 for the pur- pose. A quarter of a century after he| had won freedom for Texas With| his victory at San Jacinto, General Houston lost the governorship of the astate which, as a republic, had honored him with its presidency. Somewhat embittered, he sought peace at his home near Huntsville, and died two years later. The home changed ownership many times, but in 1911 became the property of the state teachers' college, which bears the general's name. In the last few months many changes have been made in ht appearance of the place. Trees whieh were not there when it was Houston's home were chopped down, and those which he had planted were pruned and marked The pond was enlarged to 1its for- mer size and shrubs were planted on its banks. ‘The house was restored to its ap- pearance of long ago, except that lumber from a saw mill replaced the rough-hewn planks. The in- terior, however, was given what srchitects pronounced an almost perfect restoration. Now a search i{s being made for the furniture which Houston used during his last days.
