Houston Harte

Houston Harte (born January 12, 1893 in Missouri; died March 1972 in San Angelo, Texas) [ [http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi Social Security Death Index Interactive Search ] ] founded, with Bernard Hanks, a regional chain of newspapers which eventually became the media company Harte-Hanks.

He also created the book, "In Our Image" along with "Time" illustrator, Guy Rowe, a collection of Bible stories published in 1949 by Oxford University Press. Together they won a Christopher Award.

Harte was instrumental in preserving historic Fort Concho in San Angelo. He also donated substantially to Angelo State University.

Harte was also a confidant of U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson. His association with Johnson led him to end his longstanding friendship with a leading Johnson critic, the historian J. Evetts Haley.
