Marker Text:
(January 12, 1869 - October 27, 1936) Martha Ora "Mattie" Davis was born in Mississippi and moved to Texas as an infant. She earned a teaching certificate in 1884 and in 1889 married William H. Lucas. Active in civic organizations and women's clubs, Mattie spearheaded many civic improvements in Grayson County, including the establishment of a Carnegie library, home front war work, and the collection and preservation of local history. Her efforts to commemorate the Texas centennial resulted in the placement of several historical markers. She co-authored the first history of Grayson County, published just days after her death in 1936.
