Texas State
Society of the National Society, U.S. Daughters of 1812
Lulie
Huey Lane Scholarship
Former President National,
Mrs. Frederick B. Ingram of Dallas, Texas, established this scholarship
to honor her mother, Mrs. Alvin V. Lane, who was President of
the Texas Society. On March 15, 1915, Mrs. Lane became Organizing
President of John Cavet #39 Chapter in Dallas. Her grandparents were
John Huey and Margaret Cavet, who was the daughter of the 1812
ancestor, John Cavet, and his wife, Jean McKean. Mrs. Lane graduated
from the Alta Vista Institute of Austin and married University
of Texas Professor Alvin Valentine Lane.
Mrs. Lane not only served as President
of the Texas State Society from 1915 to 1917, but was the first woman
from Texas to serve on the National Board as Second Vice President
in 1927. She also served as Texas Treasurer and State Parliamentarian.
At the time of her death on October
31, 1941, Mrs. Lane had been very active in city, state, and
national civic, church, and lineage groups. She was survived
by two daughters, Mrs. Alice Lane Ingram, Mrs. W. J. Morris,
and one son, Alvin H. Lane of Dallas, Texas; a sister, six grandchildren
and three great-grandchildren.
The Texas State Associate Council
meeting in 1939 voted to create a permanent fund of $500.00 to
be known as the Lulie Hughey Lane Scholarship Fund. It was used
at first to add more money to an existing scholarship to aid
more 4-H Girls to attend a short summer course at Texas A&M
University to broaden their training.
In 1942, the Scholarship at A&M
for 4-H Girls had to be discontinued because their school was
needed for training servicemen. The funds were placed in the
Lulie Hughty Lane Fund, and War Bonds were purchased. At this
time, war work was the primary concern of the Texas Society.
In 1946, Mrs. Lane's daughter,
Mrs. Frederick B. Ingram of Dallas, was serving as Vice President
National. In 1948, she became President National. She worked
hard to get funds into the Lulie Hughey Lane Scholarship,
and since 1950, the Scholarship was presented to one or two Texas
A&M Cadets each year.
Her beautifully
framed large wedding portrait hangs in the dining area of the
DAR House in Dallas's Fair Park.
