Wellborn Cemetery
The town of Wellborn was founded
in 1867 along the Houston and Texas
Central Railroad line. By 1874, with the
first documented burial --- that of two-
year-old Newton FARQUHAR --- a
cemetery was in existence to serve the
community. A reflection of Wellborn's
history, the burial ground contains the
graves of community leaders, including
brothers and business partners Thomas
Harvey ROYDER and John Horace
ROYDER; veterans from armed conflicts
dating back to the Civil War; Brazos
County pioneers; and members of
fraternal organizations, identified by the
distinctive symbols on their tombstones.

This issue continues another series on individuals in The Bryan Daily Eaqle Business
Issue on April 22, 1913. Transcribed by Janis HUNT.
The Italian Agricultural Society of Brazos County Texas
The Italian Agricultural Society of Brazos County, Texas, was organized in 1892, with
a membership of 143, under the direction ofthe following officers: J. M. SALADINER,
president; John DEPUMA, vice president; August GEUSEFFI, secretary;, Charles
DEPUMA, treasurer. For the pasttwenty-oneyears the society has taken an activ~part
in the agricultural development of Brazos County, and her members have made some of
the most substantial citizens of Bryan and Brazos County. They have watched the growth
and progress of our city and county, and aided in every way in the development of a
Greater Bryan. The society has n()urished and grown, and will continue to do so under the
able leadership of the following capable>and efficient officers: J. M. SALADI NER, president;
Joe CUTTER, vice president; LeoVIVIANA, secretary; and Mike MASSINA, treasurer.
We were requested to mak~Jl;1iscontribution by the publishers and while not se~king
praise feel that many will be deeply interested in afewfacts about, the Italians and what
they are doing in Brazos County. i
No doubt many of the early EEuropean settlers in this county will wonder where we
Italians came from. We come froff) the old and new ancient Rome, where under the
Ceasars the lions roared, and theworld conqueror, set forth manners, rules and laws for
the world to emulate.
Some may ask why we came tothis country. We followed our country-man Christopher
COLUMBUS, the first whitemanto set foot on this continent" Christopher COLUMBUS has
the strongest will of any man thatnature ever produced, having a iron head resting upon
his shoulders, filled with knowledge and wisdom. During the fourteenth century he set sail
on the dark,blue sea, venturing where others had never dared before, to demonstrate his
theory that the world was round and hoping to discover a nearer water' route to India.
61
Enduring unspeakable hardships, threatened and discouraged by his own sailors, his
indomitable will would not surrender, even in the face of death, he persisted with absolute
confidence in his theory that theworld was round until finally he, came in sight of land and
made the wonderful discovery which has indelibly stamped his name of the pages of
history and made it a household word in every American home.
Threatened with death day by day,
At last he came,
Discovered this great land,
Which brought him fame,
For recompense he was put in shackles,
Wrapped in chains,
And died a pauper with a broken heart,
Blind and lame.
When we Italians landed
On the American soil,
With rolled up sleeves and dripping sweat
From honest toil,
We are'earping honest bread
Forourfamily to be fed.
We Italicmscan hear other laughing at us
Because we can't talk the English dialect,
But be fair
The Italians claims that you
Should talk the Italian dialect, too.
He, has a great reason for that,
Because COLUMBUS was Italian and spoke the Italian language flat.
Amerigo Vespucci was an Italian, from whom this country got its name.
He spoke the Italian language, and America's sons should do the same.
Som~ smart ones do not tote right,
I am sorry to say they are not in the light;
I regret to have to state,
That we have weight--
in conquering,
in history,
inpravery,
in inv.entions,
in sculpture,
in art,
in discoveries,
in poetry,
in music.
Please consider this. Are we right or are we wrong?
Readers, pleas stop and think that weare not talking to all.
We are talking to those who do not tote right:
62
With, some we have no cause at all,
They tote fair and are in the light,
Old Rome lays low,
And grinds her axes.
She is beginning to cut big timbers
in different patches,
Hold out your hand,
And form a grip with mine,
Let us go along together,
Build up this village Bryan.
Hurrah for the stripes!
Hurrah for the stars!
Hurrah for the eagle it bears!
It's a flag that's strong and true,
To me and to you.
It's a flag that you will die for,
And I will too.
Hurrah for the eagle it bears!
This country is represented by our mother eagle. We. eat her bread, and drink her
water. We must call her mother, and, when she screams we must shoulder the United
States arms and defend her until we bring victory offail.
Texas is our pride
F or us and others she doth provide,
With bread and meat and all so sweet,
With wool and cotton she dresses ,Us neat
Furthermore, she exports all,
Lumber, rice, sugar, cotton and oil,
And with Texas oil she flows the world.

Frank ANDERSON
"When 1 was 21 I was a student at Mississippi College in Clinton," stated Frank
ANDERSON,. popular track coach at A and M. College. Mr. ANDERSON has both a M.
A and B. A degree, which is rather unusual for an athletic coach.. During his athletic
71
career he was closely associated with D. X. BIBLE playing under him first at Brandon
Training School at Shelbyville, Tenn., and later at Mississippi College.
Mr. ANDERSON had a remarkable athletic career at Mississippi, being a star three-
letter athlete, and made letters for four years in football, baseball and track. He also
played on the basket ball team but never made a letter in this sport. Mr. ANDERSON
played left field on the baseball team,' and half on the football team, center [on the
basketball team?], was a pole vaulter and sprinter on the track team.
Mr. ANDERSON says that Coach BIBLE made an enviable record both at Brandon and
at Mississippi College. Before CoachBIBLE Game there this school never had scored
against Tulane, Alabama, or Mississippi A and M. in football, while during Mr. BIBLE's
tenure therethe schooldef~ated Tulane two games out of three and plastered a big defeat
on Mississippi A and M.
When the. war broke out Coach ANDERSON joined the colors and was in the service
for two years. He spent one year in Camp Beauregard in Louisiana and one year over
seas. When in Europe he was a major in command of the One Hundred and Fortieth field
artillery.
After the,war was over, he came back to Mississippi one year as head coach, and in
the summer of 1920 he managed the Jackson team of the Cotton States League. On this
team was Joe SEWELL, now regular catcher for the Cleveland Indians; Tim
MURCHISION"former Texas League and Cleveland pitcher, and Jim BRADSHAW, who
lat~r wentto the New York Giants as a pitcher. His team finished fourth that year, Mr.
ANDERSON playing left field.
He is amember of the Masoniclodge, the Shrine, and Presbyterian church.

Dr. O. M. BALL
"When I was 21 I was on the great plains of Oklahoma trying to get some land which
afterwards I sold and was enabled to attend the University of Virginia," stated Dr. O. M.
BALL, head of the biology department of A and M. College.
72
After he was graduated from A. and M. College [Note: It probably should say the
University of Virginia} with a Bachelor of Arts degree, he taught for three years at Miller
School in Virginia. He then married and went. to Europe to study at Bonn and Leipzig
universities in Germany. There he received his Master of Arts and doctor's degrees.
After finishing his course abroad, Dr. BALL immediately came to Texas, arriving at A.
and M. College in August of 1903. At this juncture Dr. BALL facetiously stated that shortly
after he arrived here a friend said: "And so you are Doctor BALL? Well, youmustbea
horse doctor for I am sure you are not a preacher."
In speaking of his life's work, Dr. 13ALLsaid that, "biology is the science ofliving things
and things that have lived." He has spent much of his time, since coming here in the
interesting work of studying fossils, and has found 200 species of fossil plants in Texas,
most of them in Brazos county. Fossil forms were untouched until Dr. BALL arrived here,
and he says, "there are enough interesting fossils around here to keep 1 0 men busy for the
rest of their lives."
Geology teaches that all. ofthissection of the State was once under the sea, and many
of his discoveries are startling to the average lay man.
In reference to progression (this is more diplomatic than saying evolution), he has found
horse's hoofs near, Navasota that had three distinct toes, showing that the horses's feet
have undergone complete changes. Dr.13ALL has the largest collection of fossil plantes
from the Jacksonformation ofanyoth~r man in the State, and they show that ten million
years ago the climate here was simi larto the way it is today, except slightly warmer. Near
the post office and courthouse inBryan there have been found fossils of the, giant Sequoia
trees similar to those found in California., Many fossils of palms and other trees have been
discovered here that are novvgrowingin Mexico and other tropical and semi-tropical areas.
Dr. BALL also goes to Colorado every summer to study the fossils of that State, and
has gathered 100 species from.that section.
Dr. BALL's hobby isfishing andhisfriends say that his fishing tales are the most truthful
and reliable ever told in Bryan.

w. S. BARRON
"When I was21 , I was courting my wife," said Hon. W. S. BARRON, member of the
Legislature from Brazos and Grimes counties, when asked what he was doing when he
reached voting age. Incidently, that year proved to bean eventful one in his life.
In addition to wooing his wife, he was teaching school in Madison county. Although he
did have a license,he decided he wouldmakea race for county attorney of Madison
county. When he girded himself for this, political combat, he learned that the county
superintendent of Grimes county had resigned, which was his old home county. He
concluded he would have better luck runningfor county superintendent in Grimes county
than he would runningJor county attorney in Madison county, when he was ineligible to
make the race. He was forced to meet a couple of opponents in his race for county
superintendent, but herolled upa plurality overthemthatended in a majority. His second
guess had proved to be the right one.
He served in this capacity for four years, and then taught school for a couple of years
In Anderson. While teaching here in the day time, he worshiped at the shrine of
Blackstone after the shades of night had gathered. In 1916 he was admitted to the bar and
hung out his shingle in Anderson.
In 1.917 Mr. BARRON movecj to Bryan and opened up law and abstract offices., "I had
thought that my jour years of experience in politics in Grimes county would last me a
lifetime, but I madearacefor representative in 1924", he said. He was elected again this
year without an oppon~nt.
Mr. BARRON. is ahighly esteemed member ofthe Texas Legislature, and is noted for
the able assistance he has T~ndered A. and M. College and all other constituents in his
district.
When askedwhat organizations he belonged to, he said: "You had better get another
piece of paper." He has belonged to practically every organization formed during his
lifetime, including Farmers' Union, Woodmen of the World, Modern Woodmen, Knights of
Pythias, Odd Fellows, Eastern Star, Isaac Walton League, Baptist church, Rotary Club,
and hehas.beenan active and enthusiastic worker in Boy'Scout circles.

Lamar BETHEA
"When I was 21 I was a student at the University of Texas. I had entered when I was
20," stated Lamar BETHEA, Bryan attorney, who today accepted a place on the
Commission of the Court of Criminal Appeals.
Mr. BETHEA, who attended the University from 1896 to 1899 and was graduated with
the, Bachelor of Laws and Masterof Laws degrees, was one of the greatest gridiron stars
of the Southwest. For three years he played right tackle for the Longhorns, while his
brother, Cabe BETHEA, played right half during the same period of time.
Before going to the University hewas, aworker around sawmills in Polk county. Finally
he had an opportunity toga to college and for three, years he went to school to M. Winston
at Moscow, Texas. Then he went tothe University.
After being graduated with the degrees of Master of Laws and Bachelor of Laws in
1899, he went to Conroe, where he practiced lawfo[ a year..' He came to Bryan in 1900,
and has been practicing. law here ever since.
He first formed a partnership with W. H. NALL, Who was among the first to profit by the
Beaumont oil field. He later formed a partnership with Senator Bob ASTIN.
In 1906 h~ was el~cted county qttorneyfor Brazos, county and h~ld that office until
1918. During his firstthre.eyeqrshehad much opposition, but inthe last three he never
had an opponent. In fact, he was urged to run again in 1918. During the war he was
chairman of the Exemption Board for this county.
Mr. BETHEAsaysthat footlJaHisconsiderably improved now than during his time. In
the old days the players never trained--in fact they did about as they pleased. It was not
uncommon for half of the team to get drunk after a big game. The coach was held with
little respect, and often Gertai~ il1dividuals and cliques really ran the team. Athletic
conditions began to improve after 19QO, however,c:mdhave been changing for the better
ever since.

"When I Was 21" - January 20, 1927, p. 1
Morris BLOCK
"When I was 211 was in Pulasky, Tenn., in the wool and hide business," said Morris
BLOCK, veteran dry goods merchant of Bryan.
Mr. BLOCK was born in Poland, and came to the United States when only 11 years of
age. He came all the way across the Atlantic ocean on his own resources, not being
accompanied either by a friend or relative. He landed in New York City and immediately
went to Tennessee.
After he was 21, he came to Beaumont and clerked in a dry goods store for three years.
He thenwent to Crockett, where he wasinthe dry goods business for 20 years. He has
been in the same business in Bryan for 16 years.
Mr. BLOCK says he has had many ups and downs.
"Did you have a hard time learning the English language?" we asked him.
"Did I? r have been in the United States 51 years and I haven't learned it yet."
"What salary did you receive when you started out?"
"lgof$6per month." he answered. This report wins the prize. All of Bryan's merchants
started (;\tstarvationwages, but Mr. BLOCK's wages eclipses them all in Jlleagerness, not
exceptirlg J. Allen MYERS, Eugene EDGE, A. M. WALDROP, T. K. LAWRENCE, E. J.
FOUNTAIN, or Wilson BRADLEY.
"What were the best years you ever had?" we interrogated.
''They were while I was in Crockett in 1890,1891, and 1892."
"Did you have the largest store in town?"
"ldidJ'
"Did you have a big trade territory?"
"We drew trade from Trinity, Cherokee, Walker, and Madison counties," he said with
consid$rable pride.
"[)idy,ou go to market in those days?"
"I went to New York City twice every, year."
"V\lhatdid you used to sell a suit of clothes for."
"For$7 .50."
"Apair of shoes?"
"From75c to $3.00."
"Whatdid shirts sell for?"
"About 35 cents."
"What did ladies hats retail for?"
"From SO cents to $2.50."
"What did you pay your clerks?"
"VVecould hire the best salesmen for $35 per month."
"What did you have to pay for advertising in the local newspaper?"
76
"I could get a half page ad for $3.00."
This took our breath. After, we recovered we "Iet him talk without asking, any more
questions. Mr. BLOCK says that his business used to amount to $175,000 per year and
that he had two big puildingsrented, 60x140 feet, and for the two he paid only $70 per
month.
"All modern dry goods merchants, were simply born too late. In the old days we
practically had no competition,andwe even could pay most of our bills in dry goods. I
stayed at the hotel, which cost me $20 per month for board and room. At the end of the
year I settled up with the hotel keeper and he always owed me," he said.
