| Archive Description | Oral History - Constance Ann Harris Seger
In this charming interview Constance Ann Harris Seger recalls childhood visits to Fulsher, Texas to be with her grandparents, Hunter Pinckney Harris and Amilee McKithan Harris on their farm. But the interview goes much further than that, relaying her family’s long, long history in Texas.
Constance was born on June 25, 1943, in Paris, Texas. She and her siblings considered it a "great treat" to be in the country visiting her grandparents where there was always good food and plenty of room to play in the barn or the very large pasture chasing sheep. They used to catch horny toads on the prairie on the edge of Fulshear and take them back to the metropolis of New Orleans where their friends were horrified.
Many of her ancestors were doctors and some served in the military. They weren't military men but they were called up in a time of crisis,. Her husband's great grandfather was career military and served as an aide to General John "Black Jack" Pershing during the Armistice that ended World War I. 12 Pages |
