He then became the second President of the Republic of Texas, and during his term as President, took on several challenges but is most remembered for his dedication to establishing an education system for Texas to ensure the Republic had a strong foundation for leadership through the education of its children.Continuing this tradition of Masonic partnership with Public Education, the members of East Fork and Vickery Masonic Lodges have generously established this scholarship endowment to assist children of the Wylie community in their pursuits of continuing education.
