Southwestern Historical Quarterly
Reverend J. W. E. Airey of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church,
Houston, Texas, died October 31, 1944. Rev. Mr. Airey was
much interested in the West and the frontier and had written
a series of articles dealing with the Comanches. One of his
principal hobbies was the Frontiersmen's Museum.
E. V. Hedgecoke of Stinnett, Texas, son of Willis P. Hedge-
coke and Fannie E. Morton, writes to give genealogical in-
formation regarding two Hedgecoke families in Texas. Mr.
Hedgecoke says that the two families are frequently confused
(see the Quarterly for October, 1944, p. 251) and that Bates's
History of Denton County is in error in some places regarding
the family. In particular the writer says there was no son (in
either family) named Foss, from which Fossil Creek could
take its name. An excellent genealogical tracing of the two
Hedgecoke families is made in the letter which has been
placed in the archives for future reference work.
Many readers and members have noted with appreciation
the recent increase in number of pages in the Quarterly. As
far back as 1940 the Executive Council listed "an expansion
of the size of the Quarterly" as a continuing and major objective.
A healthy and steady increase in membership made possible
some expansion. The present further expansion may be explained
almost wholly in terms of our advertising section. In April,
1944, the Executive Council authorized thirty pages of ad-
vertising for the magazine. Obviously the Quarterly is not a
selling medium in the class of the Saturday Evening Post, but
it does reach a high class clientele in Texas. It is supported
by a group likely to respond to a show of interest in the
historic past of Texas.
Our advertising section should be about doubled and toward
this end the support of the membership is solicited. As a
matter of fact acknowledgment should here be made of some
of the first rate assistance already given. My only hesitancy
in doing so is the fear that some person will inadvertently
be overlooked. Our good president, L. W. Kemp, is the foremost
contributor in services in this field. Following him is Dr. P. I.
Nixon, vice-president, ably assisted by Stanley Banks, Paul
Adams, and Chris Emmett, fellow San Antonians, who have424
