Erkel Avenue.br/ br/Text: In 1929, Dr. Hugo Emanuel Gibson (1894-1963) and Georgia Moe (1893-1973) joined the staff of Texas Lutheran College, which relocated to Seguin from Brenham. Hugo, who received degrees from Augustana College (Illinois), the University of Texas at Austin and Augustana Theological Seminary, came to Texas Lutheran College following a merger with Trinity College in Round Rock. Georgia Moe arrived from Columbia University in New York City, where she earned a masterrsquo;s degree. In the summer of 1932, Hugo Gibson and Georgia Mode married; they raised two children. The Gibsons were instrumental in helping Texas Lutheran College receive accreditation. Dr. Hugo Gibson served as head of the foreign languages department, specializing in Greek. He also founded and directed the schoolrsquo;s noted a capella choir. Professor Georgia Gibson was the collegersquo;s Dean of Women and professor of mathematics, and she was particularly involved with extracurricular activities for the students. In 1934, the family moved into this newly built house on Erkel Avenue. Builder Edward Strickler designed the two-story frame house on a pier and beam foundation. The side-gabled house has a second story balcony porch, two main first floor entries and two kitchen entries. Decorative detailing includes latticework, French doors, window shutters, and oak and longleaf pine floors. The Gibson family lived in the house until 1963. Although the esteemed professors have passed away, today their legacy continues to impact others, particularly through a scholarship fund established by former students in their memory.
