Description

Clipping reads: "Every Texas mother comes first with her children but Mrs. Ella Stevens Watson, Hillsboro, Texas, is the state's composite Mother's Day symbol. Picked as the "Texas Mother of 1946" by the Golden Rule Foundation, Mrs. Watson demonstrates one of a mother's first remembered and most endearing traits. Although at 70, she still bakes a feather-light angel food cake!" In the image, she is sitting on a couch wearing a dark-colored dress and holding letters on her right hand and few documents on her left hand. There are photographs and paper on her lap. She is wearing eyeglasses.
