Ima Hogg1882 - 1975 Miss Ima was involved in a wide range of philanthropic projects. In 1929 she founded the Houston Child Guidance Center, an agency to provide therapy and counseling for disturbed children and their families. In 1940, with a bequest from her brother Will, who haddied in 1930, she established the Hogg Foundation for Mental Hygiene, which later became the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health at the University of Texas. In 1943 Miss Hogg, a lifelong Democrat, won an election to the Houston school board, where she worked to establish symphony concerts for schoolchildren, to get equal pay for teachers regardless of sex or race, and to set up a painting-to-music program in the public schools. In 1946 she again became president of the Houston Symphony Society, a post she held until 1956, and in 1948 she became the first woman president of the Philosophical Society of Texas. Since the 1920s she had been studying and
collecting early American art and antiques, and in 1966 she presented
her collection and Bayou Bend, the River Oaks mansion she and her brothers
had built in 1927, to the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. The Bayou Bend
Collection, recognized as one of the finest of its kind, draws thousands
of visitors each year. |
James Hogg The Ettrick Shepherd Poet |
The house that James
Hogg was born in was on St. Mary's loch in Ettrick, Selkirkshire.
Unfortunately the house is no longer there but the above statue of Hogg
on the site. James Hogg's Monument stands almost opposite St. Mary's Cottage.
It was dedicated on June 28th 1860, having been made by a Mr. Andrew Currie,
FSA 1770, Ettrick, Selkirkshire - 21 November 1835
Poet known as the Ettrick Shepherd, James Hogg spent most of his youth and manhood as a shepherd and was almost entirely self education. He had learned, at his mother's knee, the great oral tradition of ballads and folklore of the Borders. And her father, "the far-famed Will O'Phaup" was reputed to have been the last man to converse with the fairies. His talent for writing was discovered by Sir Walter Scott, who was then the sheriff of Selkirk. It is said that James Hogg and his mother supplied Sir Walter Scott with material for Scott's "Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border" The Scottish poet, James Hogg was b. 9 Dec 1770 to Robert Hogg and Margaret Laidlaw. He married Margaret Phillips 20 Apr 1820 in Selkirk, Scotland. They had five children, all born in Selkirk: James Robert, b. 28 Apr 1821 |

larger-than-life Texans, Hogg was an imposing figure. At six feet two

a popular advocate of the common citizen and did much to strengthen public
respect for law enforcement in general. He sponsored anti-trust legislation
and helped establish the powerful Railroad Commission during his tenure
as governor. from http://www.lsjunction.com/people/hogg.htm

William Hogg1728 - On 31 May, 1728, the Royal Bank of
Scotland invents the overdraft, one of the most versatile and maginative
innovations in modern banking. It allows a William Hogg, merchant in the
High Street Edinburgh, to take out of his account up to £1000 (£65,449
in today's value) more than he has in it. another link |
Nidhoggn Norse myth, Nidhogg ("tearer of corpses")
is a monstrous serpent that gnaws perpetually at the deepest root of the
World Tree Yggdrasil, threatening to destroy it. This serpent is always
bickering with the eagle that houses in the top of the tree. It lies on
Nastrond in Niflheim, where it also eats corpses to sustain itself.
Nidhogg is not the only serpent whose task it is to destroy the World
Tree. |
