    3. I think it is settled and the South Donoho St will stay Donoho, they finally settled to change only the north end of the street to MLK. That was done a few short years ago now. I think it is sad to attempt to erase history. I remember seeing the Donoho grave markers in the old Clarksville Cemetery. It think the decision was a good one.

They had a hotel in Santa Fe for a few years before leaving for Texas. Seems like the Donohos were friends of Becknell and he influenced their coming. She must have been a strong woman to have done the things she did. Jim said that there is a movement to change the name of Donoho St. in Clarksville.I think that would be terrible. > Tom > Heath, TX >
