****************************************************** The special event on Saturday of the Robert Raines Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution was a great success. The luncheon event held at the First United Methodist Church in Navasota was attended by a large group for a review by author Elizabeth Cobb of her non-fiction book, “The Hello Girls,” she wrote of the history of the women who enlisted in World War I to serve the Signal Corps under the direction of General John Pershing just yards behind the German front lines. The historic quilt donated by Dorothy Arrington Hassell to help fund the DAR World War I memorial in Historic Anderson Park was won by Karen Haag, a fellow DAR member of Tomball. The quilt was made by the Ladies of the Grimes County Heritage Association back in the 1980’s. The quilt blocks represented all the historic entities and industries of Grimes County. __________________________________________________ NOTICE: BEST MUSEUM at the Horlock House, 1215 Washington, Navasota, Texas 77868.
