B.) Dealey (1859 – 1946), publisher and civic planner, immigrated to Galveston, Texas, where he took the position of office boy at the Galveston News on October 12, 1874. He worked for this publishing concern the rest of his life. When the Dallas Morning News was founded in 1885 he was appointed business manager. He was the founder of the Dallas Historical Society (1922) and lifetime president. In 1986 the Hall of state underwent extensive renovations. During the renovation process the G.B.
