Have you ever wondered what life was like in the 1800s?  Well, it often began with a shiver! Rich or poor, in a city dwelling or farm laborer’s cabin in the western frontier of Texas, the first step out of bed was likely to leave you cold.  The wealthier class would have coal or wood burning fireplaces in their bedrooms, but these were rarely lit. Come and explore with Patty Massy Williams, as Eliza Bullard Butler, the practicalities of living in East Texas during the Victorian Era. Patty Massey Williams is a sixth generation American. She has ancestors that have fought in every war since the American Revolution. She earned a Master of Education degree from Stephen F Austin State University and taught school for 37 years.
Patty is currently presenting historical interpretations and presentations for local school districts, Genealogical and Historical societies, and historical figure portrayals for Spirits of Oakwood Cemetery in Tyler and Voices of Longview 150th Celebration.

She says, “I am continuing this legacy for my own children and grandchildren.”You are invited to a Zoom meeting.When:  Feb 27, 2025, 07:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada)Register in Advance for this Meeting:
