George Bernard Erath
George Bernard Erath (January 1, 1813–May 13, 1891) served in both the Texas House of Representatives and Texas Senate.
Born in Vienna, Austria, he was a Texas pioneer and soldier who fought in the Texas Revolution, subsequently supporting the Republic's annexation to the United States.
As a surveyor, he drew up the original street grids for the Texas cities of Waco, Caldwell, and Stephenville. He was a charter member of historic Waco Masonic Lodge #92.
Erath County, Texas, is named for him.[1][2]
