On July 1st, the Guadalupe River flooded and crested at 38.2 feet. The Halamiceks purchased four buildings in Block 23 on the east side of the 600 block of St. Joseph Street, which later became one of the leading automobile accessory stores in this part of Texas. The Texas centennial celebration began and one million centennial stamps were sold. On March 1st, a bronze and granite monument was unveiled at the Alamo, dedicated to the memory of the thirty-two men from the Gonzales area who answered Travis’ plea for help and entered the Alamo to die.
