H.R. No. 435

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Paris High School students have celebrated the
chartering of the Benjamin Clark Society of the Children of the
American Revolution with a ceremony that included the installation
of chapter officers; and
WHEREAS, The Children of the American Revolution was founded
on April 5, 1895, by Harriet Lothrop, an author and member of the
Daughters of the American Revolution; established to promote
patriotic values and a love of country among America's youth,
C.A.R. is recognized today as the oldest and largest patriotic
organization for young people in the nation; membership is open to
anyone under the age of 21 who is a lineal descendent of an
individual who rendered material aid to the cause of American
independence; and
WHEREAS, The Paris chapter of the organization was named in
honor of Revolutionary War veteran Benjamin Clark, a North Carolina
native who was born in 1758; after fighting in the war, Mr. Clark
lived in Tennessee and in the Arkansas Territory before moving to
what is now Red River County; he ultimately settled in Clarksville
and resided there until his death in 1838; and
WHEREAS, Those elected to lead the Benjamin Clark Society as
its first officers are Will Domengeaux, president, Trey Kraft, vice
president, Baelye Grissom, recording secretary, and Jack Kraft,
chaplain; history teachers Cheryl Brown and Terry Davis have
provided generous support and guidance as the group's sponsors; and
WHEREAS, The Benjamin Clark Society of the Children of the
American Revolution is dedicated to remembering and upholding the
founding ideals of our nation, and it is indeed worthy of
recognition; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the chartering of the Benjamin Clark
Society of the Children of the American Revolution at Paris High
School and extend to its officers and sponsors sincere best wishes
for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the organization as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
