May Dickson Exall

In 1886, this young woman started the first women’s club in Dallas. When they first met, they decided to study Shakespeare. This was a radical idea back then, however the 25-year-old "May" had attended Vassar, and she was considered a woman of standards. She was the club’s leader until her death 50 years later. She married Henry Exall in 1887. He was as relaxed and fun –loving, as she was organized and proper. He purchased a farm where its northern boundary was a narrow dirt road overhung wit bois d’arc trees perfect for lovers. May named it Lovers Lane. At the south was a road with a plethora of songbirds. May dubbed it Mockingbird Lane. Think of May as you travel one of these two road


The many styles of fashion that May wore.
