The cemetery contains the final resting places often known Gonfederateveterans who have been identified as William V.WILLlAMS,21stTexas Cavalry; WilliamC. KINCANNON, 20th Texas Infantry;Thomas J.

In additionto the marker installation, the scouts also cleared and removed brush from various locations within the cemetery grounds. The Brazos Genealogical Association contributed the informationforthemarkers and arranged for the . assistance of .. the Boy Scouts, . the members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans arranged for the delivery of the markers. and gave a brief historical presentation with period iclothing, weapons and accouterments. About two years ago the .effort was. renewed from the initial Brazos Genealogical Association project of attempting to identify all the veterans of tpe American Civil.War that are buried.in Brazos County. . The research continues today and has enjoyed · some success- currently over 275 veterans have been identified and about 50 photographs have been obtained, of which most haveyeUo be published.

Rev. W. W. DAUP The city of Bryan is noted for themoralandreligious spirit of its refined population, its elegant modern churches and the pre-eminent ability of its ministers.. Rev.W. W. DAUP, rector of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, is one ofthe ablest and leading members of the ministry in this past of the state. He was born in Mansfield, Ohio, January 28, 1880, receiving his education at Hobar College, Geneva, N. Y., graduating in 1904,thereafter in 1907, he graduated from the Virginia Theological Seminary. His active ministerial work 106 began at Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he served with marked distinction until 1909, when he came to Bryan as rector of St. Andrew's Church, where he early won the esteem and admiration of the people through his exemplary character and able conduct of the affairs of his parish. August 19, 1912, he was married to Miss Ada HOWARD of Fort Wayne, Ind., a lady of classical attainments and culture, devoted to church work and the elevation of the social and moral status of every community to which she has lived, and an invaluable aid to her husband in the great work pertaining to his exalted profession. During the incumbency of Rev. DAUP, the church has been strengthened spiritually, morally and financially by his capable supervision and untiring devotion to every policy of improvement and progress necessary to the interest of the church and its parishioners. Among other improvements resulting from the well directed efforts and energies of Mr. DAUP is the construction of a new church building, which when completed, will be a credit to his labors, an ornament to the city and the pride of the parish. * * ** * Wilbur C. DAVIS The great business progress and inflow of population incident to the prosperity of the city of Bryan has resulted in the attraction of some of the strongest lawyers to guard the legal interests of the people and great enterprises located in our midst. Among the strongest and most capable practitioners at the Bryan bar is Wilbur C. DAVIS, the present efficient District Attorney of the Twentieth Judicial District, composed of the counties of Brazos, Robertson, and Milam. Mr. DAVIS was born in Alabama in 1877, and came to Texas when a youth. He received his collegiate education at Baylor University, receiving the degree of B.A. His legal education was acquired at the University of Texas and the University of Chicago. Admitted to the bar in 1903, he entered the active and successful practice of his profession in 1904. In 1906 he was elected a member of the Legislature from Brazos County, where he was active, able, and successful in his advocacy of the important interests affecting his constituents, and especially all legislation in the interest of the Agricultural and Mechanical College. His able, steadfast and untiring devotion to the important interests of the people of his district was such that he was re-elected to the position in 1908 without opposition. In 1910 he was eleoted to the .office of District Attorney, and 1912 was re-electedto the same position without opposition. Mr. DAVIS is one of the ablest district attorneys in Texas, and during the long period of his successful administration ofthe duties of his office has accomplished more in bringing offenders to justice and restraining lawlessness than any prosecuting officer in Texas. In 1904 Mr. DAVIS was married to Miss Esther BOATWRIGHT, a beautiful and highly accomplished young lady, a favorite in society circles ofthe city and highly esteemed to her bestoffriends andacquaintances. Two beautiful children were born ofthis union, Lela and Pauline, who are the happiness and comfort oftheir devoted parents. * * * * * 107 MikeOEPUMA -First and Last Chance Saloon The Fi rst and Last Chance saloon, conducted by MikeDEPUMA, proprietor, is one of the substantial and. successful. business enterprises of its class in the city of Bryan. Itcarries constantlyinstock.all the finest standard grades of imported and domestic wines,liquors, <and cigars to supply its large and increasing list of customers. Since its establishment a year ago this saloon . has commanded a large share of patronage in all lines carried by it.

DESSIMONE FatherDESSIMONE, the capable pastor of St. Anthony's Church,inthecity of Bryan, was bomat Casserta, Italy, April 13, 1871.. He received his education inthe Seminary for Priesthood and was ordained priest in 1894. He came to America in 19Q3, and thereafter traveled ~xtensivelyin the North. In May 1907 ,he came to Bryan, where<he has since able and efficiently devoted himself to the important affairs of the Churchinthis city and adjacent.country, having ~stablished a prosperous church at Mudville, .in this county, having a membership of over 400 families. FatherDESSIMONE's efficient work has been an importantfactoriin the great improvement and remarkable increase in the members of the Catholic Church in this locality in the recent past. * * * * * Rapid .Development and Opportunities Offered After an absence of two years from the city ,a prominent railroad contractor said to the editor: "I have been in a. great. many countries and cities in my life, but never in all my experience have I seen such a.tremendous transformation as havetakenplace in Bryan and in the last two years. Its wonderful growth is of a most substantial nature, too. I have been over the city quite extensively in the .Iast three days and I find v~st sections in every direction covered with beautiful homes where it was entirely vacanttwo years ago. I saw at least twenty-five new homes in course.ofconstruction today. That splendid. ice plant, power plant, PARKER's lumber plant, MYERS Hardware block, the Bryan Hotel, all of 108 thosebrickbuildingsonSouth. Main street, the . EDGE. buildingonEast.Moseley street,the PALERMO. building on North .. Ma.in · street, the NOTO Bros.. building, and. nearly every building on Main street either new or remodeled. I could notrealize that thiswastheBryan that I left two.yearsago. Well, it's a factabsolutely beyond belief. Butthere is a dynamic force behind it. That forceisthe naturally advantageous location, the.hub ofagreat rich,producing territory,.all contiguous to Bryan as its market and supply station.. The force was conneGted up by the wire ofa united citizenship. The connections were all weldedbya complete confidence cemented by actual demonstration and result.With.alltheadvantagesand influences working for Bryan, the future can beJoretold by the results thus far observed. Bryan will maintain its commercial. industrial and civic supremacy. With the interurban.. reaching out bringing . new territory, rich. in commerce . and cotton, to our door, extendingthefertileland production, increasing the already superior school facilities, building new industrial plants, encouraging thefanner to diversification,nothing can stop that great engine of progress form. spreading it~ prosperity overthe entire state and county. The. private irrigating plants in the . vicinity of Bryan are . a . source of rich. return. in. the shape of garden truck the year round. One of these farms, only a milefrom the city, which has been in operation fortwoyears, has afforded its owner an average net profitofover fifteen dollars daily on only thirty acres. These. truck farms produce profitably strawberries, cantaloupes, watermelons, asparagus, beans, peas, cabbage, sweetandlrish potatoes, beets, carrots, parsnips, Bermuda onions, tomatoes, celery, peppers, cau.liflower, artichokes, . cucumbers,~gg plant,. radishes, lettuce, mustard,. okra, ....par~ley,spinach rhubarb,squashandothervegetables for man and beast.' Actual. records of recent date are over fifty bushels of tomatoes on one eighth of an acre; five tomatoes weighed seven pounds; 1000 dozensugarcornona small patch, two crops: a year, 1200 dozen sugaLcorn on four-fifths of an acre; 500 bushels Bermuda onions on four acres, and a crop of six bales of cotton on thesamefouracresin one year. There is room for many more to do the same thing. Come to Bryan! ~~ St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Bryan, Texas by Nancy HAWTREY St. Andrew's. Episcopal Church was established in 1867 by Leonidas.POLK,the.first Missionary. Bishop of .theSouthwest. . Bishop POLK first.. visited Texas in 1838 and, believing .that.a bishop was immediately needed in Texas,. wrote in urgent. letters "the safety of the Church and the purity of religion demand the immediate presence of authorized organization. There is work for it to perform if it were here now ." But,itwas not until 1850 that an Episcopal diocese was established in Texas. In 1859,Alexander GREGG, a South Carolinian, was elected the first BiShop of Texas, where he ministered 109 to 27 Texas communities,oneof Which was Millican, Texas. Here ona spring night in 1864 the Bishop cameandintheschool house,forthefirsttimein that community, he held Episcopalservices.< The only .. Episcopal family in Mil.lican.. was that . of George D. HASWELL. .. Even so, the report of the attendance at the services was that it was good, "notices having been generally distributed and much curiosity. aroused." The Bishop visited Millican againin 1865. While there, he baptized Lizzie HASWELL and confirmed Mollie. HASWELL and Laura.

Whenthts . location was sold, the graves were moved.to the Bryan City Cemetery. The present church was built on a site carefully chosen because it had the highest rise in the city, at West26thSt(forrnerlyAnderson St)and Parker Avenue (formerly .Red Top Street).. The land was conveyed to the church by three deeds found of record in the Brazos County Clerk's Office. The.churchwa$ paid for at the time. it was built by the congregation with no mortgages. The first subscription list amounted to $18,225,which almost paid for the building. The Rev. Wi Ilia n1 Wesley DAUP was rector during the time of planning and building. 110 The builders were two brothers, George and Charles E.JENKINS,who we,realsothe builders of the old First MethodistChurch and of manyofthefine homes inBryan still lived in today.
