THE IRISH IMMIGRANTS OF ROBERTSON'S COLONY:
ARE WE REALLY IRISH?
By Harold H. WALKER
In February 1836, my immigrant ancestors, William and Elizabeth WALKER, arrived in
ROBERTSON's Colony with their six children and settled on a 1/4 league tract of land in the
Wheelock Prairie that William had purchased the year before from Richard EATON. Here they
joined the earliest large community in ROBERTSON's Colony that was settled in 1833 by the
immigrant families of HENRY, FULLERTON, McMILLAN, CAUFIELD, WATSON and DUNN.
These pioneer families of Staggers Point and the WALKERs originally came from Ireland living
in Antrim County, Ulster Province, and together with others they sought to start a new life
despite the uncertainties and dangers they must have known lay before them.
Mary BRIGGS, Mary GALLOWAY, and Marjorie HICKS, authors of The Irish of Staggers
Point, and Barbara FULLERTON's, The FULLERTON Family, wrote passionately of these
original settlers as Irish immigrants who under the yoke of religious oppression and economic
hardship left their homeland for a new land of freedom and opportunity. They chronicled the
lives of these families as they sailed from Ireland to America and began the arduous task of
beginning anew. While I wish not to diminish the tragedy and suffering endured by these
inspiring individuals or of their remarkable achievements, I believe a new examination of their
history. will provide us with fresh insights into the question--Are we really Irish?
Obviously, this is not a historiographical or sociological study of Irish ethnicity.
However, I would propose that narrowly defined it is less than correct to say that these
pioneer settlers of ROBERTSON's Colony were Irish given a full understanding of English and
Irish history from the mid sixteenth century to the nineteenth century. A review of this
history can provide clues as to the pioneers beginnings and under what conditions they chose
to start a journey of such magnitude.
The conquest of Ireland began with the Norse and Danish Vikings raids of the eighth
and ninth centuries. In the twelfth century Ireland was invaded and largely conquered by the
Normans. But the Irish were not to be bested by either force and what followed was a
gradual assimilation of the settlers into the Gaelic culture. In full circle, captive Ireland took
captive her rude conquerors.
England nominally controlled all of Ireland from the time of the Norman invasion.
However, their involvement in Irish affairs really began with the accession of the Tudor kings
to the throne of England in the closing years of the fifteenth century when Henry VIII began
the reconquest of Ireland. Gaelic Ireland did not give up easily and English rule was only
tentatively maintained over many areas within fortified garrisons.
In 1594 the major tribes of Ulster, led by Hugh O'NEILL, rebelled against English rule.
Following their defeat and the departure of O'NEILL and the heads of the major clans, the
Province of Ulster was planted with settlers from Britain, and at a later date, Scotland. The

ST. ANTHONY CATHOLIC CHURCH, BRYAN, TEXAS
Submitted by Ethelena SALVATO ZUBIK
St. Anthony Catholic Church was built and established as a parish in 1896 to
take care .of .a very large,group of Italian families who had moved here from Louisiana
to work on cotton plantations. According to St. Anthony church history, the church
was built on Polk Avenue. (St. Anthony Diamond Jubilee Booklet) Lots 20, 21, 22,
23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 of Block 5 in the Hills addition of the City of Bryan, Texas were
purchased by Deed of Trust from GARTH, HOWELL, and WEBB on August 8, 1896.
An early map of Bryan indicates that the approximate location was bounded by Lamar,
Regent, Fannin and Washington Streets (Joanne DOMINIK GLOWSKI). The above
description property was for the exclusive use and benefit of the Italian Catholic
congregation of Bryan, Texas, being for church, school and charitable purposes. The
map of Bryan which was reviewed indicates that the property bought for the church
in 1896 was not on Polk Avenue. More investigation will be needed to clarify the
location of the first church (Joanne DOMINIK GLOWSKI).
The first pastor was Rev. A. PETILLO, appointed by Bishop N.A. GALLAGHER,
Bishop of Galveston. He served the parish until 1898 and was succeeded through the
years by Rev. J. PELNAR, Rev. B. DEL GUIDICE, Rev. B.C. PFIFFNER, Rev. G.
LaROSA, Rev. G. MILITELLO, Rev. A. DeSIMONE, Rev. M.J. LEAHY, Msgr. J.B.
GLEISSNER, Rev. P. L1TWORA, Rev. Basil BRAVI, Rev. Peter VILLANI, Rev. Bernard
MAHONEY, Rev. Leonard BUXKEMPER, Rev. Harry BILSKI, and present Pastor, Rev.
Msgr. John C. MALINOWSKI.
The following are the parochial vicars who have served St. Anthony's: Revs.
Peter VILLANI, Harry BILSKI, Emilian FOL TYN, Earl HEDBERG, Bernard STOCK, Aleck
LAZEK, Raymond BREZNA, Don SAWYER, Bob HENDERSON, John McCAFFREY and
Sam HOSE.
The parish was vacant between 1921-1922, and the people were served by
Fathers J.B. GLEISSNER and P. L1TWORA from St. Joseph Parish. Father BRAVI was
appointed Pastor of St. Anthony Church in August 1922. While Father BRA VI was
visiting in Rome in 1926, the church, a frame building, was completely destroyed by
fire. Upon his return, Father BRA VI immediately started the construction of a new
church located at 308 South Parker Avenue, which was solemnly dedicated in
December 1927. Father Peter VILLANI was appointed the first assistant to St.
Anthony Parish in September 1929. In August of 1958 Father Harry BILSKI was
appointed assistant of St. Anthony's. When Father BRAVI died on 27 September
1960, Father VILLANI was appointed pastor with Father BILSKI as first assistant.
Between 1961-1963, under the direction of Revs. VILLANI and BILSKI, the church
was renovated, an additional block of property was purchased, other improvements
were made, and a beautiful modern Rectory was constructed. In June 1972 Father
John MALINOWSKI was appointed pastor, and the parish continued its expansion.
In 1973 the Parish Center was built. In 1979, 19.18 acres of land was purchased
from the Fellowship Club and Lucy NUCHE. In 1982 the Free Will Baptist Church and
property, which is now the St. Anthony Religious Education Center, was obtained.
132
In 1983 the parish purchased additional cemetery property from Brazosbanc. In 1984
the Fellowship Pavillion was built and donated by the John B. CARRABBA Family. In
1985 the parish purchased the WARE and BUCHANAN properties next to the Rectory.
In 1989 the property for the playground and parking lot was purchased.
The church was again renovated during the latter part of 1993 and early 1994.
During this renovation the church was joined to the Rectory.
Throughout the history of St. Anthony Parish, the following organizations have
existed: Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD), Altar Society, Holy Rosary Society,
Mother of Grace Society, Children of Mary, St. Anthony Society, Fellowship Club,
Holy Name Society, St. Leo Luke Society, the Ushers and Lay Readers club, Knights
of the Altar, Choir, Knights of Columbus, Men and Women's Bible Study, Cursillo,
Praise and Worship, Advisory Board, Cemetery Board, and Fellowship Board.
The Lord has blessed St. Anthony Parish with two priests from its membership,
Rev. Charles CAMPISE and Rev. Michael SIS, and with one brother, Joseph PALAZZO
of the Oblate Order.
A CHURCH IS BORN
SAN SALVADOR, A MISSION OF ST. ANTHONY CATHOLIC CHURCH
During the early 1890' s a large number of Italian immigrants began moving into
the fertile Brazos "bottom lands" in Burleson County. They were all devout Roman
Catholics, but it was very difficult for them to attend church, either in Bryan or
Caldwell because of the distance and the condition of the roads at that time.
Accordingly, whenever a priest was able to come to Bryan, religious services were
held in the homes of the people.
On August 31, 1908, when Mass was being held on a open porch, the cross
fell down. This ominous sign so impressed the young daughter of one of the
communicants that for three consecutive nights she dreamed, not only of the need for
a church, but also of the men who should start collecting money with which to build
it. The following day, when the members of the family were picking cotton, the little
girl had a vision in which a Lady in black appeared to her and asked her why they had
not built the church. Her father immediately stopped picking cotton and took her to
see Father Antonio DeSIMONE, their priest, and other men in the parish.
As a result of the girl's vision, the men in the community began collecting
money to build a church. Toward the latter part of September, the farmers began
erecting their church and worked so industriously that the building, designed by one
of them, was finished within six weeks. The people named the church for San
Salvador, the patron saint of Cefalu, Sicily, the native village of some of the Italian
pioneers. The main altar and benches were built by these volunteer carpenters; the
bell which tolls today, the statues of the Virgin Mary, St. Joseph and San Salvador
were donated by a friend and member of the church. The first Mass was held late in
October 1908.
On February 26, 1909, "for and in consideration of the sum of one dollar in
hand paid," Mrs. Mary PARKER and her family deeded the property on which the
church was located to N.A. GALLAGHER, Bishop of Galveston, with the provision that

if the church ever ceased to function for a period of two years, the property would
revert to the donors. In the meantime, the devout parishioners had each set aside ten
field rows of cotton to finish paying for their church. By 1910 the people were able
to retire the debt on the building, so they invited the Bishop to consecrate it.
Following this religious ceremony, they held a joyous and fun filled celebration,
complete with fireworks and a "pinata."
Since October .1908 the faithful of this community have worshiped in San
Salvador Mission whenever a priest from St. Anthony Church could come to them.
Through the years various members of the congregation have donated additional
statues, the Stations of the Cross, baptismal font, chairs, and other items of worship.
In 1948 the church became part of the Diocese of Austin. In that year, also, the San
Salvador Altar Society was organized. In 1952 extensive remodeling of the building
was begun. New siding was put over the original lumber; inside, the old posts were
replaced with new round columns, and the present pews took the place of the original
handmade benches. From that time services have been held on a regular basis in the
church. In 1957 a new organ was installed,and in 1965 another altar was placed in
front of the main altar. Major repairs, such as a new roof, painting inside and out, and
new front doors were made in 1973 and in April of 1974, the church was carpeted.
San Salvador Church, a mission of St. Antony Catholic Church in Bryan, was
built less than twenty years after the first Italian immigrants came to this area in
Burleson County. The present membership of the church consists of families who are
descendants of the original settlers. The building which they erected, subsequently
improved, but never basically changed, has served the religious needs of this
community since 1908 and is still functioning in a very vital way.
The Mission Church of San Salvador in Burleson County has been recognized
by the State for its significant contribution to Texas culture, history, and heritage.
This structure was entered in the State Archives in 1974 as a recorded Texas
Historical Landmark. The Texas Historical Commission official historical medallion at
the church reads as follows:
"San Salvador, a Mission of St. Anthony's Catholic Church, Bryan, was
named for the patron saint of Cefalu, Sicily, the native village of Italian
immigrants who came here in 1894. Religious services were held in
homes until 1908, when devout families each gave cotton from ten field
rows to buy materials, and the men worked six weeks to build this
church. First Mass was said at its altar in October 1908. In 1952 the
building was remodeled, and a new altar was added in 1965. Recorded
Texas Historical Landmark 1974."

The 434 Brazos County Men Called for Examination for Military Service
The following 434 names are those who will be first called before the Brazos
county exemption board for exemption as to their fittness for military service. These
names are in the order drawn in the lottery at Washington, July 20, as applied to
Brazos county, in which 2080 have been registered, the extra number being that of
Otto L1SKI of Kurten whose card was misplaced. This list has been checked with that
of the exemption board and hence may be relied upon as correct.
