WHEREAS, Juanita Daniel Zachry has earned widespread respect
for her writings about the history and beauty of Abilene, West
Texas, and the State of Texas; and

WHEREAS, She has written articles that have been purchased by
American History Illustrated, Texas Highways, Arizona Highways,
America's Civil Wars, Texas Parks and Wildlife, Early American
Life, and many other historical and western magazines; and

hearing how her own parents, A. M. Daniel and Exa Green Daniel,
settled in Taylor County with each of their parents at young ages
around 1900 and later married and raised Juanita at Horn in Jones
County and encouraged her as she excelled in her writing skills by
graduating from Noodle High School and taking courses at Writers
Digest, a famous writer's school, and the University of Oklahoma;
and
WHEREAS, She has also been encouraged and inspired by her
late husband, B. A. Zachry, and her three children: Barbara Ann

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas

generations, and extend to her best wishes for success and
happiness in the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Ms. Zachry as an expression of high regard by the Texas
