Eagle Lake native Dr. Sandra C. Thomas was recently honored by the Texas Historical Commission.

She received the Award of Merit from the Commission for her efforts to preserve and advance Texas history through several hundred published articles and several books on local history. She has sponsored, written and researched numerous Texas Historical Markers in Eagle Lake and Colorado County.

Three new markers were recently installed in Eagle Lake and Chesterville, and a marker honoring Texas banker and cattleman Col. Isaac Pryor will be the next installment in Colorado County.
