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.

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. ~~ [Ed. note: The following pictures were provided by Clara MOUNCE.

RUCKER 1865 - 1925 AT REST JAMES WILLIAMS DIED OCT. 28, 1923 AGE 47 GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN 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 .

Transcribed by Janis HUNT. " 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 as a businessman of the firstorder of ability. Thebookkeepingdepartmentofthis institution is underth~ charge of C.E.JONES, son 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 ener~ies,hisgreat intellect,and even his lifeto Texas.

He is now retired from active b,usinerss life~nd devo~es his time to the management of his large property interests.in Houston and other sections of South Texas. Dr. J.,W. HOWELL, chairman of the board of directors of the bank,'-'Yas one .of its 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 the business and commercial world was reared. The wisdom of his plans arld the success of his labors is evidenced by the exalted station occupied by the First NationalSank among the financial institutions of the country. Dr. HOWELL has retired from actiVE:f partiqipation in the bank's affairs, but .as chairman of the board of directors, his advice aRd qoun~el are often sought because of his far reaching business acumen, and his mature judgment and wisdom, ripened through long years of experience and untiring application, This bank is a pillar of financialstrepgthand has successfully financed many of the greatest ~nterprises Which have had prominent part in the development of this city to its present cOl11rnercial magnitude. * .* * * * '~'" ,,_.c.z ~" ',-,,,.,,;>4.' - ,.-",.;,ir"~,~'"""ii.5.."-"",,~-,~.,-,-\<;,,,,:w_^_.,,,,"- ~~~ :'_~. ___~"~~~",,,,,~~~~~=.=+,~~"~~..,.o-_,:.~,-:-,,,,..~,,,,"w.-..),,,""'~~"'.:_""'=""'''','''='""k".",_,~,~__ 70 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.
