A remembrance of DeWitt Colony’s settlement 200 years ago will be celebrated in a free performance by Tejas Pioneers musicians at Cuero Intermediate Cafeteria at 502 Park Heights Drive in Cuero Sunday, Nov. 16, from 3 to 5pm.
This year the program will remember the lives of Green De-Witt, Jose Antonio Gonzales, Sarah De-Witt, Columbus Burns, John McCoy, Hepzibeth Taylor, Valentine Bennett and others.
In 2015 DeWitt County’s Historical Commission started the Lives Remembered Program, patterned off graveyard tours, to remember historical figures from DeWitt County. The graveyard tours focused on 10 historical graves, and someone from the community would dress like that person, telling that person’s story.
