Writers and historians Ellen Rienstra and Jo Ann Stiles will present a fascinating glimpse at the lives of sisters Miriam Melissa Lutcher Stark and Carrie Luna Lutcher Brown. The Lutcher sisters were daughters of Frances Ann Robinson Lutcher and lumber tycoon Henry Jacob Lutcher, who co-founded the Lutcher & Moore Lumber Company. The presentation will highlight the sisters' history before moving to Orange in 1877 with their parents as well as Carrie Lutcher's marriage to Dr. E.W. Brown and Miriam Lutcher's marriage to William Henry Stark. Historic photographs will be shown during the lecture.
This event will be held free of charge at the Lutcher Theater, located at 707 Main Avenue in Orange, Texas. Following the lecture, a reception honoring Mrs. Rienstra and Mrs. Stiles will be held in the Carriage House, located behind the W.H. Stark House at 610 Main Avenue, Orange.
