Marker Text: Born in Quitman, Clota (Terrell) Boykin (1884-1970) was a leader in the women's suffrage movement at local and state levels. She was the first president of the Fort Worth Suffrage Association and one of the first female delegates elected to the Texas Democratic Convention. Clota served as Field Marshal in the Red Cross' WWI Victory Campaign, was involved in many organizations and helped create the Fort Worth Free Baby Hospital. She and her husband, Stanley Boykin (1881-1941), bought this early 1900s front gabled bungalow with full-length porch in 1911. It remained in the family until 1950. (2020)
