DUNOVANT, Captain
The Texas Division, United Daughters of the Confederacy, bows in deepest sorrow in sympathy with our president, Miss Adelia A. Dunovant, in the loss of her brother, Captain William Dunovant, who died in Houston, Texas, August 12, 1902. Words are a poor, feeble thing at such a time, when the heart is torn, and the mind vivid with fond remembrance, but many hearts beat today in tender consolation for the dear sister, who has given up her only brother. The two were mutually dependent for happiness and love and their home life so congenial and complete. Together they indulged the sames tastes, the same ideas, the same unfaltering love for truth, and devotion unsurpassed for the South and its true history. A Confederate soldier of the staunchest type, fearless, vigorous and everlastingly convinced of the rights of his beloved South, and this kind we can ill afford to part with. Intelligent sympathy with the joys and sorrows of of human life is one of the works of true greatness of the soul. And since we must bow to Divine decree in the removal of this man, soldier, citizen and friend, be it
Resolved, 1. That Ennis Chapter extends loving sympathy to our State president, Miss Adelia A. Dunovant, in her irreparable loss.
2. We realize that the State has lost a worthy citizen, the South a loyal son, and the Daughters of the Confederacy a true friend, who gave generous sympathy and interest to our efforts and work and advocated our principles.
3. Though human hearts will ache, and eyes will weep in longing and loneliness because we cannot reach where God holds our loved ones, and touch their hands, and no message ever comes to us from the happy dead, we know that God, in his infinite love and mercy, will comfort and sustain our worthy president in this dark hour, and make bearable this awful grief. This expression of sympathy and regard will become part of the record of this chapter.
