Former librarian shares story of terror, rescue

Here at the Patrick Heath Public Library, we love celebrating Texas and Texas writers. It is fitting, considering we live in a town named in honor of activist and writer/poet Ludwig Börne and are located in a county named for George W. Kendall, widely considered our country’s first international war correspondent.

Last month, Natalie Morgan shared with you all a brief history on a few other writers from our past. This month, I’d like to pass on a story brought to life from a current writer in Kendalia, retired librarian Donna Doring Jonas.

In 2012, Jonas wrote a lovely history of Kendalia, taking many years to painstakingly research the families and events that carved a settlement from the northeast corner of the county.
