Excerpt from A History of the Texas Press Association: From Its Organization in Houston in 1880 to Its Annual Convention in San Antonio in 1913; To Which Is Added the Proceedings, Condensed, of the Association From the First to the Thirty-Fourth Annual Convention With Two Chapters Covering the Thirty-Fifth An "Were a star quenched on high, For ages would its light Still travelling downward from the sky Shine on our mortal sight. So, when a good man dies, For years, beyond our ken, The light he leaves behind him lies Upon the paths of men." No sage nor seer can approximate the good that flows on and on from the life of a good man - from any life whose guiding principle was love and sympathy and service for one's fellowmen. There are so many gems of rarest quality in the noble character of Colonel Baillio that because of inability to bring them all in review we are tempted to cry out in our poor effort to show the man as he was. How shall we pick out even the most conspicuous of those things throughout all the years wherein he touched elbows with his fellows, those words and deeds innumerable, that made his life "rich in good words" and blessed and cheered and comforted so many? How shall we select from the garnered treasure-house of his 67 years of upright living even only the rarest jewels with which to fashion a diadem in honor of a life so noble? How shall we weave together even but a few of the sweetest and tenderest of the flowers given by his fellows, and particularly his brethren of the press, in recognition of truest worth? Can we even within the limits of more generous space, and from the riches of a great character on the one hand and the flowers of a large appreciation on the other, portray his full worth or symbolize that which made his life so loved and lovable, his death so mourned, his memory so venerated?

The rugged character and indomitable spirit of the early pioneers of Stephen F. Austins Texas colony had their roots in a turbulent, distant past. From the early 1600s, their courageous ancestors had pushed westward, leaving the European shores to carve out a new nation from the wilderness. They fled religious and political oppression in search of a better life in which freedom was of supreme importance. Many came with tales of their former struggles in Londonderry, Ireland during the great siege, of terrible massacres and clan rivalries in the times of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland. They vividly remembered the tribulations of Martin Luther and the deadly religious split with the Catholic Church. More recently, memories of their parents participation in the American Revolution, of dramatic, true life scenes such as depicted in the movie The Patriot filled their minds, their fathers having ridden along side of the wily Swamp Fox, Francis Marion. These pioneers associated themselves with men like Travis, Crockett, Houston and Andrew Jackson. Many of these early trailblazers were Scots-Irish and German immigrants. They were on a westward trek to grasp a special prize, to seal Americas Manifest Destiny. And that prize they sought was Texas. From Jamestown to Texas is the story of these intrepid pioneers and their ancestors who cleared and farmed the land, who fought the Indians, battled the elements, and carved out this wonderful country that we have today.
