Sarah Eager; "I have often heard my mother tell ... the flight to safety. In March, ... " she said, "the gallant Capt. ... Hays of Ranger fame, advised all .. ladies and their children to leave ... for a place of safety, for he had heard from reliable authority that the Mexicans, under Gen. Vasquez, were going to invade and sack the town." "My father was inclined to leave at once, because I was so young, only one week old, and mother's health was bad. One of the priests came to father and told him that he would be killed if we remained in the city. Father replied," I simply cannot move that infant."
