Judy I have seen many photo's of Adolphus Sterne as he was quite well known. I will go through my books to see what I can find but I have actually seen at least one photo of him online somewhere. . . I think. By the way, he married my g-g-g-grandaunt Emily B. Whitaker to Stephen Franklin Sparks at the home of g-g-g-g-grandparents William and Elizabeth Whitaker. Both S. F. Sparks and Emily's brother Benjamin Franklin Whitaker (my g-g-g-grandfather) were veterans of the battle of San Jacinto. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, November 13, 1999 1:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: state legislator of Nacogdoches My g-g-g-grandfather was Adolphus STERNE who served in the Texas state legislature. I have found, online, a photo of his wife in the article Women of Pioneer Days. I have found a photo of his home in Nacogdoches & also his gravesite. But I'll be darned if I can find any photo of him or information about what he might have accomplished as a legislator. Can anyone help me with this? Judy Jordan
