In December 1836, Austin was in the new capital of Columbia (now known as West Columbia) where he caught a severe cold; his condition worsened. Doctors were called in but could not help him. Austin died of pneumonia at noon on December 27, 1836. He was at the home of George B. McKinstry, near what is now West Columbia, Texas. He was 43. Austin's last words were "The independence of Texas is recognized! Don't you see it in the papers?..." Upon hearing of Austin's death, Houston ordered an official statement proclaiming: "The Father of Texas is no more; the first pioneer of the wilderness has departed." Originally, Austin was buried at Gulf Prairie Cemetery in Brazoria County, Texas. In 1910 Austin's body was reinterred at the Texas State Cemetery in Austin. Austin never married, nor did he have any children. He bequeathed all his land, titles, and possessions, to his married sister, Emily Austin Perry.

Answer:

Student answers will vary. Student responses should reflect an understanding of the content of Stephen F. Austin’s letters and his role in Texas development. Some students may base their responses on the actions of his supporters who requested his release. A sample response may read: Stephen Austin’s early letters were intended to calm Texans which indicates that his arrest caused great anger. His later letters of discouragement likely angered Texans who were already unhappy with Santa Anna’s policies. Several people came to Stephen’s aid as well including his two lawyers and even the Mexican leader, Ramón Músquiz in San Antonio which indicates the loyalty and respect he had among both Texans and Mexicans. Because Stephen F. Austin was such a popular figure among Texans, his arrest likely increased Texan distrust of Santa Anna’s policies and motivated Texans to continue seeking independence from Mexico.
