We are continuing, as an organization, the good start that we have had this year. The I
meeting at the Texas A&MUniversity Library, the tour of the historic LaSalle Hotel, r~
and the tour of the Brazos County courthouse were well attended. In addition to our i
regularly scheduled meeting in May,we had a presence at the Bryan City Cemetery Annual ~~:,
Homecoming Event that is held every year on the Saturday before Mother's Day. Forthose ~~;~
of you who might not be familiaE' with this event, it is a rather informal gathering of ~~i
descendants of families buried in the cemetery. They come together on this day to place jjj~
flowers or plants, or to perform sOnle'general upkeep of the family burial plots; and, tojoin jij
in fellowship with others during the luncheon sponsored by the Cemetery Association. I am lj~
sure that all of us have experiencedi~qur research the thrill of locating living descendants f:~
i , : - : ':0:-
ofthose distant relatives and th~ u~tendisappointment that occurs after we find them and j~jj
they know less than we do! But, ~or those of us who are working on local project, the ~~
Homecoming event is a wonderfulo'pportunity to meet people who could assist usin our

Death records are closed for the last 25 years and birth records are closed for the last
50 years. A few death records exist from the early 1900's but few exist earlier. There is a
birth index on computer. Land deed records are good places to check if your other leads
run out. Also check oil lease records. The computer can search records since 1967.
Birth and death records are in the city clerks office.
Other local entities that maintain records include: city, county, school, district, and tax

If you have any questions about the records in the county clerk's office and what they

Community Notes
In the early issues of the Weekly Eagle and the Bryan Daily Eagle, letters were published

of small communities in rural Brazos County. They contain information about births,
marriages, deaths, social gatherings, church activities, residents and visitors in these
communities. In this issue the Steep Hollow Community is continued. Transcribed by

STEEP HOLLOW HONORS HER SOLDIER BOYS IN GREAT SHAPE SUNDAY. The
Steep Hollow Memorial Service and Reunion, held at Steep Hollow, Sunday, June 8,was
the occasion for a ingathering of some fifteen hundred people from over Brazos county and
other parts of the state. The progfamand dinner more than came upto the reputation the
community has always enjoyed in the past.
The memorial service held in the forenoon in honor of the five Steep Hollow boys who
died in the service of their country was opened by the singing of "America" b the
congregation.
After the invocation, which was pronounced by Rev. Mr. SMITH, pastor of Saint'sRest
Baptist church, Mrs. I. M. COOK unveiled the Steep' Hollow Honor Roll and gave the
reading, "Steep Hollow's Five Stars of Gold." The role of honor is a very beautiful work of
art, consisting of the individual pictures of the forty odd men Steep Hollow contributed to
the service of the country in the late war.
The five menwho gave their lives in the service are grouped in the center and are
distinguished from the other pictur~s by small gold bands drawn around them. The honor
roll, enclosed in a beautiful gold fr~me, was placed upon an easel which protruded from
a great mound of flowers, the fragrance of which filled the church.
Following the unveiling, E. U.PETERS rendered a solo, "When the Blue Star Turns to
Gold." Following the solo the roll ball of the departed heroes was made and each name
was answered by some comrade who had been in the service with them. After this very
61
impressiveceremonythemernorial.addresswasmade by JUdge W. C. DAVIS, of Bryan.
The inspiration of the occasion caused Judge DAVIS to make what many of his friends
pronounced the best address they had every heard him make.
AfterJudgeDAVIS'addressthe exercis.es of the morningwereclosed with the singing
of "NearerMy God, ToThee," by the. congregation. A section in front of the rostrum was
reserved for the men who have returned from the service and these seats were filled with
returned soldiers ,sa.ilorsand marines.
The dinner thatwas spread under the greatoaks Was heaped upon the table. IUs the
best described in the words of A. W.BUCHANAN, the speaker of the afternoon, who
remarked that he had attended one hundred dinners at Steep Hollow during his life and
that the one y.esterday made one hundred and two for him.
The afternoon was a reunion of the Steep Hollow people. .. Many former residents of
Steep Hollowcommunityhas come from distant parts of the state to be present and meet
friends offormerdays.AW..BUCHANAN, of Bryan, formerly of Steep Hollow community
gave a very interesting address taking for his subject "Steep HoUow's Past, Present and
Future."Spacewillnot permit adetailedreport of this very able address. But suffice it to
saythattheolder peoplethorqughlyenjoyed his recountingofthepastof Steep Hollow and
his vision of thefuturevva$an in$piration. to. those in whose hands the destiny of the
community lies.

school board of Steep Hollow was held Fridaynight with a packed house and a fine time
was had. Mr. W. J. STONE,the principal oftheschool, explained the object ofthe meeting
was to raise funds with which to carry on the work of the Athletic Department and the
school library principally, but the money could be used for all good purposes in connection
with the school. ~
At this rally, they indulged in several different kinds of games. Boxes of good cats were
auctioned off and the result of this shows a net profit of$25.55. They had a fishpond and
the boys and girls fished to the tune of an income of $5. A cake was sold and drawn for
which netter $4, candy, peanuts, etc., netted $5.75, making a total of $40.30. Mr. W. J.
STONE is principal of this school and of course was instrumental in seeing this occasion
a success and taht all who attended enjoyed themselves and left feeling glad that they
came.
Mr. W. B. COOK, who claims the Steep Hollow community as his home and who is
secretary of the Ex. A & M students association, asted as auctioneer. We must admit that
he made a good one. He was the right man for the job. He worked hard and surely no one
could have sold the boxes for more money than he did.
The Bryan Junior Band assisted in the entertainment by furnishing the music. They
were glad, as they always are, to assist in worthy undertakings of this nature. After the
program cake was passed to the band boys; they did not expect this courtesy but
appreciated it just the same. Prof. SLOVACEK is to be congratuated on the way he has
brought the boys out in their work.
Other Bryan folks contributing to the successful carring outofthismeeting was Mr. G.
J. NEDBALEK, who is manager of the Juniorband, and wewill say for Mr. NEDBALEK the
boys are fortunate to have so able a man to look aftertheir needs. C. R. GARDNER and
County Superintendent Eck SMITH aswell as Tax Collector, Roy HUDSPETH assisted in
ways that counted to make asuccess.

Heuman Chapel Cemetery Found
Submitted by John P. BLAIR
County Judge AI JONES and Mr. Charles SCHULTZ of the County Historical Commission
recently contacted Bill PAGE about the location of several graves on Judge JONES'
nephew's property just west of the intersection of OSR and Sandy Point Road. This
location was not recorded during our cemetery project; therefore, it was a new opportunity
for research and documentation. I had an opportunity to visit with Judge JONES and
investigate the siteon April 21, 2001. Four remaining markers were found and two other
unmarked locations were possibly identified, The markers were:

WILLIS
JACKSON
1872 - 1946
I shared these names and dates with Bill PAGE and as always, he had already
performed some research on the"Harmon Chapel Cemetery" and correctly identified it as
such based on the listing of Willis JACKSON, listed above, as one of the trustees of the
church in a 1905 deed document, and with the death certificate of Willie S. JACKSON,
died December 30, 1946, aged 74. I identified the above listed W. R. RUCKER as Wash
RUCKER, who is shown on the Brazos County, 1880 Population Census, page 263, as a
15-year old black male, born in Texas, living with Jim (age 30, born in Tennessee) and
Rebecca RUCKER (age 35, born in Mississippi).His death certificate (Brazos County Book
3, page 41, #63), filed May 5, 1925, states that he was a resident of Steele's Store,
widowed, son of Bill and Beckie RUCKER, died of "nephrites" (I believe should have stated
"nepritis" meaning the inflammation of the kidneys, or "nephrosis" meaning kidney
degeneration) on May 2, 1925. The certificate also states that he was buried at Harmon
Chapel on May 3, 1925; thus collaborating the strong evidence already found by Bill.
67
Although the origin of the name, Harmon Chapel, has yet to be discovered, Bill has
determined that it was the site of both 80hurch and school for African Americans. It was
created. in 1905 when the trustees of Harmon. Chapel, William KIMBROUGH, Joseph
RODGERS, SolomanCALHOUN,Richard JACKSON and Willis JACKSON, purchased the
land from Mrs.B. P. HIGGS. This deedwouldmean that Winnie TURNER listed above
was probably one of the first burials in the cemetery. In addition to the four listed, the
Brazos County Death Records reveal another. 20 people buried at Harmon Chapel
Cemetery .

First National Bank
The First National Bank of Bryan is one of the oldest, soundest, safest and most
conservative financial concerns in Central Texas. It has a capital stock of $100,000,
$100,000 surplus and $32,000 of undivided profits.
In the year 1873 a private bank was organized by J. S. FOWLKES & Co., composed
of J. S. FOWLKES, C. TILLY and H. C. EDRINGTON. About the same time the private
banking firm of CLARK, BRYAN&HOWELL was organized, succeeding W. H. FLIPPEN.
Later in 1886, thesetwo private bankswere consolidated and chartered as a National bank
under the name of First National Bank of Bryan.
The following leading business men andfinanciers are the present officers of the bank:
H. O. BOATWRIGHT, president; L. L. MciNNIS, vice president; Guy M. BRYAN, Jr. of
Houston, vice president; R. W. HOWELL, cashier; J.W. HOWELL, chairman of board.
The list of directors includes the following: J. W. HOWELL, L. L. MciNNIS, Guy M.
BRYAN, Jr., R. W. HOWELL and H. O. BOATWRIGHT.
Mr. H. O. BOATWRIGHT, the able president ofthe bank, is a pioneer citizen of Bryan,
having resided here for a period of thirty-nine years, thirty-four of which he has devoted to
the up-building of the business affairs of the bank to its present prestige as a leading
financial enterprise in this section of the State. Starting life with no capital or advantages
other than the splendid mental equipment with which nature had endowed him and a firm
unyielding purpose to win his way to distinguished success, he has, by unfaltering energy
and intelligent application to every business enterprise and duty devolving upon him in life,
attained the full measure of his commendable ambition to become a notable figure in the
lists of those whose remarkable acnievements are a part ofthe history oftheir country, and
an example to all who strive to follow in their footsteps.
Maj. L. L. MciNNIS, vice president of the bank, has resided in this city for twenty~four
years. He is weiland favorably kmown as a leading citizen, distinguished business man
and financier, who has contributed as much to the growth and prosperity ofthis section as
any citizen who has resided herel..
Major MciNNIS is president of the Bryan Commercial Club, and to his able direction of
this active organization is largely due to the splendid development of recent years. Before
engaging in the banking business Major MciNNIS was for a number of years a professor
69
in the Stat~ Agricultural and Mechanical College. During apart of the time he was
chairman of the faculty and as such most successfully guided the affairs of this institution.
Mr.RobertW. HOWELL,cashi~r, is one ofthe most versatile, virile and capable young
business men in this city, and is prominently connected with its business and social circles.
Mr. T. B.<BRYAN, in charge of the coHectionsdepartment of thebank, iscapabl~,
energetic and courteous in the discharge of the duties entrusted to him, and isjustly rated

of Charles JONES of Harvey, andJ. H.TODD,his capable assistant, each of whom is
expert in the discharge of theimportant and responsible duties assigned him.
Mr. GuyM. BRYAN,Jr., one ofthevice presidents of the. bank, was for many years a
citizen ofBryan,andJook an active interest in the management and the affairs of the
institution, with which he has been conn~cted for so many years. In later years he rnoved
to Houston, where he still resides, at th~ same time claiming Bryan as his home, paying
his poll tax here, thus preserving his citizenship and alwaysC,orping. horneto vot~. Mr.
BRYAN was born and rear~d in Brazoria County, being a son of thelClt~ WiHian'l Joel
BRYAN, who landedaUhe mouth oftheBrazosRiver in 1834, with StepherF.AU~TIN's
s~cond colony. Mr.BRYAN is a nephe\,\iofAUSTIN, his father'smotherp.eingi a sister of
the great colonizer, the peerless citizen and patriot, who devoted his time, rTleans, his

founders and for manyyears its president.He devoted the best years of his lifeiqlaying
broad and deep the foundations upon which the superstructure of this towerofstre~gth in

Fountain Bros. Land And Loans
One of the great business enterprises of the city of Bryan which has contributed its
share to the remarkable progress of the city and of Brazos County, is the land and loan
establishment of FOUNT AI N Bros., which was established fourteen years ago and now has ~
one of the largest and most important custom in its lines of business of any like firm in this
part of Texas. The firm is located in the RHODE building, corner of Anderson and Main
streets. This firm makes a specialty of city property and farming lands, and also buys,
sells,and builds houses for its customers, and has boughtand sold more land than any
twenty men in Brazos County. It enjoys the strictly novel and unusualreputation of never
having sold a purchaser a piece of property upon which. he failed to realize a profit. The
firm buys large tracts for sub~division and sale in tracts to suit purchasers, and is now
putting on the market one of the most important additions ever put upon the market in
Bryan. The Oak Grove Park addition, containing about one hundred acres of land, is
located in the northern part of the city, and this they have sub-divided into choice lots and
are putting them upon the market on easy terms. This addition is the most beautiful,
desirable and healthy location for a first class residence district in this locality, and is
destined to add to the city of Bryan's attractiveness and importance as a city of modern
and most beautiful residences.
The progressive and prosperous firm is composed of J. L. FOUNTAIN and E. J.
FOUNTAIN, each of whom has spent his life in Bryan and possesses an intimate practical
knowledge of all the lands and land values in Brazos County.
Dr. J. L. FOUNTAIN, the senior member of the firm, is the present member of the
Legislature from this county, a position in which he has served with credit and distinction
for a number of years. Mr. E. J. FOUNTAIN is the active member of the firm and is
thoroughlyfamiliarwith every detail of its extensive and important business. The members
of this firm are among the most prominent, active, energetic, and leading public-'-spirited
citizen of Bryan who have labored intelligently and successfully for the general
advancement and enduring prosperity of Bryan and Brazos County. To citizens such as
these is due a debt of gratitude from all those who are proud of the distinguished prestige
of this city as a leading business and financial center of the State of Texas.

Dr. H. L. FOUNTAIN Sanitarium
One of the modern and completely equipped institutions which are the pride of the city
of Bryan is the FOUNTAIN Sanitarium, established four years ago,the business of which
increased so rapidly from the firstas to necessitate eJiillargement of the building on two
different occasions. The institution now has a capacity of twenty patients and is equipped
throughout with best modern appearances and sanitary conveniences for the treatment
and comfort of patients. The op~rating room is supplied with the best modern instruments
and accessories for successful operations in all classes of cases known to modern
71
"
scientific surgery, for which. this institution is justly noted. The sanitarium structure is a
large, cornmodious two-story building equipped with sum parlors onits roof, technically
known as a solarium, and beingthelatestand most scientific arrangement for the
treatment of diseases in Which.pureair and bright sunlight are necessary for satisfactory
results. Among the new equipmentof this institution is the recent installment of a modern
X~Ray machine, and therapeutical electric appliances for the diagnosis and successful
treatment. of the many cases . requiring the. use of these instrumentalities. The entire
sanitarium is furnished with the bestandlatest designs.in hospital furniture. and contains
a large hall and well arranged parlor for the convenience and . comfort of patients while
convalescing. There.arethreegraduatedand capable nurses resident in the sanitarium,
and others in reserve to Hccommodate patients with best attention during the period of
treatrnent.Within the four years thatthisestablishmenthas been in operation morethan
two hundred major operations .have been performed,a.large proportion of which were
capital operations,withouLa single fatality, a circumstance that proves the excellent
capacity of the staff in charge of the institution. The location ofthe sanitarium is. ideal,
surrounded with all that is attractive in beautiful grounds and accessories.
Dr. H. L. FOUNTAIN,founderand owner of this institution, is a native of Bryan,a
rnemberof one of the oldest and leading pioneer fami.lies of this section. He.entered the
