Group portrait of the first Denton Athletic Club's baseball team was made up of only local players.

The club was organized in 1901 and its quarters were in the Wright Building. According to an article in the Denton Record-Chronicle, "it was not organized to sponsor baseball or football, but to afford young men of the city an opportunity to enjoy and improve themselves in a well-equipped gymnasium." They formed a football and baseball team in 1902 and played each year, until the club disbanded in 1908. The Gainesville team and Denton were bitter rivals.

Etta Jones

Portrait of Etta Jones wearing a cape with a fur collar and black hat. She appears to be in a snow storm. The writing on the back reads, "Miss Etta Jones to Hallie." Hallie Thurman was friend who lived in Denton and both women worked and were unmarried. We believe this photo to have been taken around 1900 based upon her clothing, but not after 1909, as she was married in October and became Mrs. Etta Scott. She taught first grade and later high school. Originally, Sarah Etta Jones, she was born in January of 1867 in Pennsylvania.
