I have enjoyed the opportunities thatthe new year has brought as well as the challenges of this office. I am thankful for all of you who have contributed to the success of our organization and who have provided much sought after input towards establishing some I" goals for this year.

I.I"\;ave ~ communicated to them my goals that we have a gotten a great startwith. I wanted to expand our knowledge of organization for publication in hopes of accomplishing that strong, well-documented legacy mentioned above. We liveina fast pace, multimedia., environment that, is sometimes in. conflict with our endeavors in genealogy .. Wei have. access to so much more information than those who came before us, but. it is still a - prerequisite to sift through thatinformation. To sift takes time and we must take thattime ~ in order to leave that lasting legacy for those who follow,. How many times have we set out ': to the local library orcourthquse with questions in hand only to findourse,lvesv~eringoff , course with additional information we did not plan for? WeJose sight of our objective and . ourefficiency in accomplishing what we set out to do. Th~other issue is the organization of the massive amount. of information in. order for us to file, and publish in it an interesting , and "reader friendly" manner. lam going to encourage our membership and those who are prospective members to not. only think in terms ofthe past, but to look ahead to the future and what our mark win be in this geneal~gicalodyssey. .

M,. E. WALLACE It may not be generally known among men, but it is a fact, nevertheless, that one of the most important adjuncts to a well-regulated and first-class printing office is a IIdevil". The Pilot, realizing this .fact about three years ago, persuaded the subject of this sketch to accept that important position, whichihe has since held with satisfaction to the management of the office and credit to himself. He was born in Brazos county ,on July 29, 1878, the day of memorable eclipse of the sun, hence his name, IIMarvin Eclipse." With this, we consign him to an indulgent public, and trust they will deal gentlywith him, for the live of a IIdevil" is not always on "flowery beds of ease.1I 67 ***** Dr.,S. H.WEA THERFORD - Physician and Surgeon For a. once insurmountable reason that is now fading away before the light and advancement of nineteenth century progress, professional men long looked with disfavor upon appearance inthe public prints,professionaUy, as a violation of an unwritten law of ethics fortheir class. This hallucination or bugbear is now, however, being relegated to the dreamy past, along with other erroneous notion, and the living presentleapsforward to meet the future with harmonious and according enterprises and advancement pervading every avenue of life.,' Just why it should be wrong for a professional man, a physician for instance, to let the people know what his advantages have been for acquiring skill and knowledge ".posseththe understanding' of finite minds., If We are particular about the qualifications of ourgrocer or haberdasher, should we not also to desire to learn something of the man who has the care of our health and physical well being? Dr. WEATHERFORD is one of those who takes a practical v.iew of these facts, and deems it well that those whom he serves should know something of his career. Dr. Samuel Hardin WEATHERFORD was born in Louisville,Ky.,September 8,1856. He was educated at Warren college, Kentucky, and graduated in 1876, receiving the degree of A. M. and winning the first class honors. He was made superintendent of the Union County High school the, same year, and held the position two terms, when he was chose president of. McLean County college at Calborn, Ky., in 1878. He served in this capacity until the fall of1879, when he began the study of medicine in his native city and graduatedfromthe l.ouisville Medical college in 1882'Vlfinning first honor medals in both physiologyand~natomy.Soon, after, under competitive rxamination, he won first position over 700 contestants as medicalinterneoftheLouisvilleCity Hospital. He subsequently too,k private courses of study in materia Medica, Obstetrics, and ologyat LouisVille and received diplomas in each. Dr. WEATHERFORD came to Texas in 1883,settlinRin Williamson county, where he practiced for ten yearswith. marked success at C3eorgeto\Nnand Taylor. He came to Bryan in .'.1892, and hasbui,!t upalarge and steadily increasing' practice. He is going continually now night and day ,and his books showthat his business is enormous. Dr. WEATHERFORD was married in 187'7 at Wh itesville ' , K\,., to Miss SusieE. MCCARTY, and has an interesting family of children. ' He isa member of the Masons, K. of P., A. O.U. W., 1..0. O.F., K. O. T. M., and W., ofW. In religion he is a Presbyterian, in politics, a democrat. ** ** * John WITTMAN -Merchant Tailor Well fitting.garments in these modern times have become more than ever a necessity, because a man in these days in the trades and professions who does not make a fairly good appearance is put downright away as a crone,a slow coach , and nobody wants him around when plenty of business presentable fellows can be had without difficulty. Ready 68 made clothing can never look as well and is very little cheaper than tailor made goods; in fact, it is not cheaper in the long run, for while the "hand-me-down" suit, will lose its shape in a few weeks and, fade rapiQly, the tailor made article will last a year with any sort of care holding both shape and color. No tailor in Texas is better prepared to supply your wants than John W. WITTMAN of Bryan. He can supply the finestimported and domestic fabrics and knows how to make them up in the latest styles and designs. Winter season is at hand and you can save time and money by placingyourorderwith this first-class, up-to..dateestablishment, which has a full line of French, English, Scotch and domestic fabrics and ell I the favorite and serviceable goods for gentlemen's wear. Call and see his new fashion plates, fall and winter 1895, also his full and complete line of goods just received. He makes the handsomest and best cadet suits to be had, and the A.,and M. boys know it. Mr. ,WITTMAN was,born in Austria in 1852, came to Bryan in 1874 and has lived here ever since. Began wor~ in the merchant tailoring business in 1880, and opened business forhimselfin 1884. Shop up stairs next to the Eagle office. He was married in 1880 to Mi$s Minna MARAUN, and has three children. He is a member oftheA. O. U. W., Select Knights, Kand L of H.,S. of H., and is also a fireman. He patronizes home people for everything and asks that the, same favor b~ extended him. * * * * * J. M.ZIMMERMAN, - Commissioner James Mortimer ZIMMERMAN was born at Darlington, S.C.,February1822, and is, theref()re, 73 years of age. ' hi is life has been in many respects an unusually active and eventful one. During early ,life he attended schools, but after engaged in farming without having been able to. complete his education. He came to Texas in the winter of 1845 and settled near Brenham, Washington county, where he continued farming. Was married in December 1846" to. Miss ('v1aryAnn STEWART, of which union. seven children, two. girls and five boys was the ,issue. Married a second time in 1869 to Mrs. MOSELEY at Bryan. Squire ZIMMERMAN moved, with his familyt() BrazQs county in November 1856, and settled in the Tryon neighborhood, nowbetterkrlOwn as Kurten,n,yelve,milesfrom Bryan, where he has since made his h()me. A memberofthe Baptist church since 1837,having joined in South Carolina; he has been active inchurchworkall his life, and was one ofthe first Baptists in the county, and helpedto organize thefirstchurch at Tryon in 1858, where he still holds membership. Politically Squire ZIMMERMAN was a born' democrat and followed the fortunes of that party through thick and thin unti,l the greenback movement began, when he embraced itas being more in tune with his conception of the principles that he regarded as beginning to be perverted in the old party. During the war he was elected sheriff of BrazoscQunty as a democrat, politics not cutting much figure in the election, serving from Augustto April and giving up the office after the surrender, when he refused tQcontinueby.appoiqtment which~as tendered. He was,nominatedforthesame office byth~ dem()cratsafterthe wCirwhenthe carpet baggers0ve~ran the.county. ..He held the officeofjusticeofthep~~ce sev~ral yearsas.a demo.crat. .,'Becameidentifiedwiththe pop u list party at its inception, and has been actively engaged in promoting its interests ever 69 " since, holding at present and for several years the offices of commissioner and justice of the peace, and having been county chairman and party manager for a number of years. Squire ZIMMERMAN became a Master Mason in 1848, and the year following a Royal Arch Mason. ' He served for many years as both master and high priest in ,the work of the order, helped organize s lodge and chapter at Tryon church many years ago, and was a charter member of the W. T. AUSTIN chapter. Was made an Odd Fellow in 1850, one of the first in this county, and assisted in organizing the old Boonville lodge before the war . which was subsequently moved to Bryan, and was also a member of the encampment, also organizing s lodge of Odd Fellows at Tryon church. He was also an active member of the, Grange, holding various offices, in it. " Was master of the Grange twelve years. He was identified with the Alliance during its activity in the county, officially and otherwise. Squire ZIMMERMAN enlisted in. the confederate. army under Col. Carter in 1862, and served under Marmaduke Price, and with PARSON'sbrigade.in Arkansas, Missouri, and Louisiana, ,being asergeantthe entire time. ' Thus it will be seen that in a life of more than three score years and ten, Squire ZIMMERMAN has ever been as he is · now, active, energetic and to the from in everything, a leader among the people.

City National Bank One of the leading factors in the growth and prospering of the city of Bryan is the City National Bank, among the strongest and most substantial banking houses in the State of Texas, organized in 1889, and having a capital stock of $150,000. Prom the date of i.ts organization to the present, this admirably equipped bank has possessed the most adequate facilities ,and financial ability to render the best service known to the best modern financial institutions. Its history has been that of steady and uninterrupted progress along lines of wise, conservative, safe, and maturejudgment, and in point of resources, reliabiliiy, and modern facilities.extended to its patrons, occupies a position second to none. The officers of the bank are the following leading business men, financiers and capitalists: E. H. ASTIN, president; John K.. PARKER, vice president; John E. ASTIN, vice president; Albert W., WILKERSON, cashier; E.W. CRENSHAW, assistant cashier;J. M. HARE, assistant cashier. The following list of the bank's directors comprehends some of the leadin~ and wealthiestcitizens in the city of Bryan: J.W.ENGLlSH, J. N. COLE,E. H.ASTIN,John E. ASTIN, John K. PARKER, and Albert W.WILKERSON. The able and experienced 70 force of employees who render valuable services in the conductof the extensive business of the bank,arethefollowing: Fred L. CAVITT, bookkeeper; J. Rivers ALLEN,assistant bookkeeper, and Clarence A. SEALE, exchange and collection clerk. Illustrative of the resources and financial ability ofthebank, it is sufficient to note that its stockholders represent capital of over $2,000,000, and are rated among tnemost capable business men and financiers' in Texas. The admirable business policies adopted and adhered to by this bank and which have resulted in placing it high on the listofleading banking houses of modern times, have been the practice of years of consistent, conservative banking methods; courteous consideration for its patrons; careful attention to the smallest detail; and honest, fair dealing. in every transaction. There are few banks, ,so fortunate in commanding the services of officers, directors, and employees of mature experience, sound judgement, and rare businessacumen,asis this institution, a circumstance which has made possible its phenomenal success and high rating as a safe,sound,and reliable bank. There is among the National banks of the United States whatis known as the "honor roll," every bank being entitled to a place on the honor roll whose surplus and undivided profits are equal to, or exceed the capital stock. The City National Bank of Bryan has long held an enviable position on the "honor roll" of National banks, and by the last statement it ranked as follows: First in Bryan, second in Texas,and one hundred and twelfth in the United States. For many years this,bank has ,enjoyed the distinction of being a depositary for the United States government, a testimonial in itselfof the confidence ofthe National banking authorities in its strength and financial responsibility. From the date of its organization until the present time the City Nationtall~ank has been a pillar of strength and active participant in all the important financial and business transactions incident to. the remarkable improvement and' progress of the. city, ,of Bryan,. while its capable staff of officers and employees have ever been in the foremost rank of prog ressive citizen whose labors in behalf ofthis city have been abundantly rewarded by advancing it to the front rank ofthe most progressive municipalities within the. borders of Texas.

Bryan City, Cemetery, Tom D. DALY 1,889 1955 ~ J. G. JAMES & H. H. DINWIDDIE- \I. M. I. Graduates - Texas Educators led. note: the following article was provided by John Blair] 72 WhO would have known that the actions on a muddy field north of New Market, Virginia on May 15,1864 would have far-reaching effects on the foundation of the A & M College of Texas. It was there on a dark, rainy nightthatthe Corps of Cadets from the Virginia Military Institute marched out to meet the threat of Federal forces in the "valley". Two of those young men standing with the colors would survive this bloody engagement and together would play keys roles as edupators in the ~tate of Texas. John Garland JAMESwasiseventeen years of age when he entered the VirginiaMilitary Institute on August 11, 1862. ,He was born 'in Fluvanna County, Virginia and' received his early, education in Richmond., When the Corps marched to meet the enemy he was the third cadet corporal of Company, C. ,This company's first cadet corporal was a young man named Hardaway Hunt DINWIDDIE. He, too, was seventeen when he entered the Institqte on September 4, 1862. , Cadet DINWIDDIE, the son of James and Mary (TURNER) DINWIDDIE of Lynchburg had studied at Lynchburg High School. During the Battle of New Market it was.Company C that experienced one.of.thefir~t casualtie,s as it descended the north ,side of Shirley's Hill as Captain HILL was ""ounded by artillery fire. The company remained firm with the rest ofthecadetsasitcrossed the open field under fire to the BUSHONG House. The position ofthe house caused the battle line to divide inhalfwith Companies A andBpassingon the~astandGandDto the west. The, cadets were haltedin.anorchardjust beyond the housewhere it came under int~ns~ musket and cannon fire to their immediate front. This position was the Illostcriticalc:lnd the most deadly Of the day as the Corps encountered the majority of its casualties. It was here that the cadets paused ata rail fence and opened fire forthe firsttime on the enemy. This pause only lasted between 15 and 20 minutes before the command was given for the cadets to charge. They rushed forward directly towards the Federal artillery and the men of the 34th Massachusetts Regiment. The cadets successfully pushed the enemy north until their pursuit had to be stopped by order of the commanding General. One month late,r the enemy was back and the, barracks at Lexington lay in ruins. Both of our young cad~ts were promoted to the rank of sergeant (DINWIDDIE to 2fld Sgt., Co. D; JAMES t03rdSgt."Co. B). It was not until December 28,1864thatclassesresumed in Richmond and it was not until October '17, 1865 that classes were 'again taught at the Institute in Lexington. John GarlandJAM.ES graduated on July 4, 1866, second in his class often and exactly one-year later, Hardaway HuntplNWIDDIE was the,valedictorian of hi,s graduating class of eleven cadets. WhileMr. DINWIDDIE remained at the Institute after graduation, Mr. JAMES left for Kentucky where he became a professor at the Kentucky Military ,Institute. Later, both men would arrive in Austin where together with both Mr. JAMES' brothers established the texas Military Institute. In 1879 the ,operations of this institution were suspended when Mr. JAMES was appointed the second President ofthe Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. Mr. DINWIDDIE came with him as a professor of Chemistry and physics. When Mr. JAMES resigned his post in 1883, Mr. DINWIDDIE replaced him as President (Chairman of the Faculty) and held that postuntil,his death in 1887. Both men are nOW forgotten by most and probably frw real,ize their contributions, in the field of education at what is now Texas A&M UniversityrTheir friendship w~s born at the Virginia Military Institute, consummated on the field at NrW Market, continurd to the state of Texas and now after all these years are still togetherc:lS they restforeternity at Austin.
