Marker text: ​Moved to Dallas, 1927. Was editor and publisher of "Kaleidograph" Magazine and Press. Helped to organize and was vice president of the Poetry Society of Texas. His home was honored in this poem:

I Own a Home
I can not boast of a broad estate, but I own a home with a rose at the gate. I hold the title and I keep the keys, and in and out I can go as I please. My home is not grand but I live content, for no man sends me a bill for rent. And no man comes with a brush and a pail to paint a sign on my door, "For Sale", I can not boast of a broad estate, but I own a home with a rose at the gate. (1967)
