The first Freestone County Historical Survey Committee was appointed by Freestone County Judge Leslie Bonner and had its first meeting on Jan. 19, 1963, Historical Preservation Day. Members elected for a two year term were Mrs. C. E. Childs, chairman; Ralph Massey, vice-chairman; Mrs. George Stubbs, secretary; E. D. Deffenbaugh and A. Don Emmons. Letters were sent to Mrs. Gilbert Milner, Mrs. Day Whitaker, Mrs. J. D. Hudson, Mrs. L. L. Bonner, Llewellyn Notley, Fred Campbell, J. S.
