AGED HOUSTONIAN RECALLS FIRST LONG TRIP TO TEXAS; STILL ENJOYS
TRAVELING

To live almost a century (lacking less than a decade) and still enjoylife is the privilege of
few persons, but that is the experience of Mrs. Martha Washington House, 811 Stuart.

Erect in stature, steady in movements, firm in speeech (content and eununciation)
and possessing a sense of humor, it is hard to believe that Mrs. House was born 91
years ago. Her white, wavy hair is drawn straight back from her sweet face, which still
wears a determined expression.

She was born near Sandersonville, Ga., July 31, 1840, and when she was 14 her
family came to Texas, which was then like a foreign country in which Indians were
roaming. She remembers bands of them raiding the herds of stock.

LONG TRIP TO TEXAS.

To get to Texas, it was necessary for the family to first go by mule team to
Montgomery, Ala, there load the wagon and team on a steamboat, an setsail for
New Orleans, where they transferred to a smaller boat and later landed in Galveston.
From there they went overland with the mule team to Brenham, Texas.

When she was 18 she married John L. House, who died in 1918. Mrs. House has
been a resident of Houston for 10 years. She had nine children, onlythree of whom
are now living. She has 40 granchildren and 17 great-grandchildren.

"Idon't know how many nieces and nephews I have,", she said. "I haven't
counted them in 30 years."

She spends her time visiting her neighbors, attending revival meetings,
making trips and sewing quilts. Her eyesight is not so good as it once was, but
she can still sew with white thread and she dearly loves to make quilts.

LIKES TO TRAVEL.

She spends each summer with some of her relatives, either in West Texas,
Nebraska, California or Colorado. She has just returned from a several months
trip to West Texas. She likes these trips mainly because she likes tolook at
the country.

"I like to see things growing," she said. "I like to ride along by afarm and
see men plowing, and to look at the cows and the goats.

"I would never get used to city ways, even if I have been reared in the city.
I don't like living out of paper bags."

Some of her children usually take her on these trips in the car and tell it about
her that she rides 200 to 300 miles in a day and than talks until late the night
she arrives.

She says that she has traveled nearly all kings of ways and believes that she
would like to take an airplance excursion next.
