On June 22, 2013 at the annual Trainer Reunion held at the Masonic Lodge in Blanco, four Trainer descendants signed documents to join The Daughters of the Republic of Texas, an association dedicated to the memory of Texas pioneer families. They qualified to join the organization through ancestor Sarah Jane Page Trainer, a true daughter of the Republic of Texas. One of her descendants was Susie Trainer, who was the great-grandmother to these four ladies.
Phyllis is the daughter of the late Orville Hill, Diane and Myrna are the daughters of the late Morrace Hill, and Julie is the daughter of the late Wilbur Hill.
Not pictured is another qualified cousin, Lynette Hill Barnes, who is the daughter of the late Lindell Hill.
These four men were the sons of Eula Trainer Cunningham and the grandsons of Susie and W.P. Trainer.
Also being added soon are the daughters and granddaughters of the group.
The new members were aided in this process by, and wish to thank, Daughters of the Republic of Texas members Christine Bushong, Sherry Jenkins, Susan Summers, and Dana LeBlanc.
