Welcome to the website of the Mary Hall Mantooth
Chapter of The Daughters of the Republic of Texas (DRT).
Our chapter, located in Lufkin, Texas, was organized in 1965.
Mary Richard Hall Mantooth was born to Richard
G. Hall and Elizabeth Walton Hall on March 4,
1841 in Douglass, Nacogdoches County, Texas.
Her parents came to Texas in 1839 and her father
was the postmaster of Douglass when Texas
joined the Union in 1846.
In 1965, Annie Jewel Royle organized the Lufkin
Chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas
and named it for her grandmother, Mary Richard
Hall Mantooth.
The
objectives
of
the
Daughters
of
the
Republic
of
Texas
are
to
perpetuate
the
memory
and
spirit
of
the
men
and
women
who
achieved
and
maintained
the
independence
of
Texas
and
to
encourage
historical
research
into
the
earliest
records
of
Texas,
especially
those
relating
to
the
Revolution
of
1835
and
the
events
which
followed.
We
foster
the
preservation
of
documents
and
relics,
encourage
the
publication
of
records
of
individual
service
of
the
soldiers
and
patriots
of
the
Republic,
and
other
source
material
for
the
history
of
Texas.
The
Daughters
promote
the
celebration
of
Texas
Honor
Days,
secure
and
memorialize
historic spots by erecting markers, and cherish and preserve the unity of Texas.
