The marker honors Brazos County pioneer William Templeton MILLICAN (1780-1843)who cameJo Texas from South Carolina in 1821 with his parents and siblings as part of Stephen F.AUSTIN's first colony. The several members of the Millican family received over 20,000 acres in land grants. Willi.am Templeton MILLICAN received one. league. He also received attract of 369 acres in1842 from President Sam HOUSTON for serviceinthe Texas Revolution. That tract of land has long been known at the High Prairie Place. The marker for William Templeton MILLICAN will be located at Gate 1 to the High Prairie Place located on High Prairie. Road approximately one mile west of Wellborn Road/FM 2154. High Prairie Roadislocated across the highway from a black board fence that is on the left coming from College Station and on the right coming from Navasota.

SIMONS, PM, Sui Ross Lodge #1300, College Station, TX. You have been researching the. family line and have discovered an ancestor who, through family history, is identified as a member of the Masonic f(aternity. Where doyou turn for valid information on this part of his life? A trip to your local library may disclose a section on Masonic subjects. A connection may be found in your local Masonic Lodge. Let's understand the organizational structure of the Masonic Lodge. Each state has a Masonic Grand Lodge. Theday-to-day operation is performed under the supervision of the Grand Secretary. Most Grand Lodges have limited staff and resources and are unable to devote much time {or any) for genealogical inquiries. The Grand Lodge of Texas was established in 1837. The Grand Secretary, or his staff, can tell you ifthere is (or was) a local Lodge in a specific town during the time period your ancestor lived in the general vicinity. The Grand Lodge does not maintain genealogical records. The only records it maintains are Masonic records for its own requirements. Your interest should be framed to expand the Masonic life and heritage of your ancestor. The Grand Lodge issues a charter to the local Lodge to permit its organization and operation. The address of the Grand Lodge of Texas is Mr. James WARD, Grand Secretary, PO Box 446, Waco, TX 76703. Each local Lodge is an autonomous, independent institution. It will vary in size from very small {1 0 or 15 members), to very large (over 1,000) depending on location. The point of contact is the lodge Secretary {who has charge of all the records). Please be sure that you are considerate when you contact this Secretary, since your success at obtaining information on your ancestor is in his hands. We are a private fraternal organization, the ~,- ",- -'-=~'~"""~"~""--~"'&-""~-"-~~q"",c~""-,,;!)4':";;;'-'''t-;''@\Mi~,-,,~'-;;-,"----iii'--.j;r;;(;'"'.;;;j";;i'~~~h?A40'~"'"'-'0.bi1L"'1'S'?~""4",P'''',~~;"~~~-~_-'__--~-- .__ 98 information is unavailable to the general pub/ic-'--only to bonafideinquires. All matters concerning the individual are subject to the modern laws of privacy and confidentiality. A word of caution: we are all volunteers, most with full time jobs,and the amount of time which is available is limited, sopleasE3 do not expect to use the "drop everything and find my ancestor now" approach. After all, your ancestor is deceased! An LJnderstandingof a MasonicJodge iShelpfultoknowwhatyourancestorwas doing as a member. The titles of the officers of the lodge and the commonly used abbreviations of the office are as follows: Worshipful Master (WM); Sellior Warden (SW); JuniorWarden (JW); Secretary (SEG); Treasurer (TREAS); Seniorpeacon (SD);Junior Deacon (JD); Senior Steward (SS); Junior Steward(JS); and Tiler (TILER). Several other officer titles are used in some lodges:. Marshall (MAR); Master of Ceremonies (MC).Onemuch used title is that of Past Master (PM)Jor an individual who .has served as/'v'laster of his Lodge. Another title used aU he local level is DistrictDeputyGrand Master (DDGM) to indicate that he has served the Grand Master oftoe state in a larger regional sense. Those individuals who are elected or appointedto statewide offices,. have all served as a Master of their local lodges and then will have the letter G in front of thE3.ir office title, i.e. Grand Secretary (GSEC). The normal term of office is for one year, although some individuals serve several years in one position. It is an advantage to have the secretary and treasurer serve multiple years in their offices. What is the normal procedureforbecoming a memberofthe Masonic Fraternity? An individual must be twenty_one years of age. He hlustapproacha Master Mason and ask for a petition to join the organization.. Rriorto the late 1990's the members of the fraternity were prohibited to recruit member~intp the fraternity. This has been eased in Texas and now a father may gently sLJggest that itiWould be nice for his son to follow in his footsteps, but that decision is still in the hands of each individua/. The son must ask for a petition. Each state has its own requirements. What information is on that petition which would be helpful to a genealogist in identifying an ancestor? Petitions in the early 1.800' s are different.. The. questions. asked were more direct than allowed today. A"I have gone through modifications over the years. A petition from the 1950's asks the; following questiorstoeach individ~al. The petitioner would be asked to give his full n<3m.E3,hi~ age, where hewasborn, and the date. If not born in the U.S. has he been naturCillized, ifso, where and. when. Has he ever changed his name? Has he any maims or physipal defects? If so, e~plainfully. H?W long has he lived in the state of Texas? How longo~she resided in tTejufisdiction of this Lodge? His present address? How 10ngatprE3sent address? Giv~addressesofplaces of residence for past 15 years. Present emplqyersname and address. Present occupation.

Where does he reside now? Have you ever petitioned, any Lodge of Masons for the degrees? It has his. usual signature. It gives five references of individuals who can supply personal information about him. It does not ask for information on the father's wife! An important oversight for us al/. However, as a direct source it is a potential gold mine of information, if copies are still extant. This search is worth the effort, but it will take some time. What does a local Lodge do? As a fraternal organization its members meet on a regular basis to engage. in its CiviC, social,andfraternal obligations. It carries out its ritualisticperformgncesin the long term of keepingthe Lodge alive and active. Atthe end of its Masonic year the secretary prepares an annual report on its activities: number and names of members; number of degrees conferred; number and names of deaths; number of affiliations (individuals.Jrom other Lodges associating with this Lodge); number of members suspended for non-payment of dues, etc.. This report is required tobe submitted to the Grand Lodge of Texas. The Grand Lodge then makes a Statistical Report of all of the Lodges.activities, and reportsthetransactions and proceedings of its annual Grand Lodge membership meeting and PUblis~es this annually. ThisTeport is mad~ availableto the member Lodges andean be purchased by the Lodges. .Some Lodges ?o,others do not Therefore, yourloc~lLodgemay not have a copy. But your Grand Lod~edoes have thes~ in the library. A trip may be worthwhile after you have completed your initial contacts. If your ancestor was a member of a Lodge in Texas that surrendered its charter back to the Grand Lodgefor anyreason, it is a Demised Lodge. Its records were returned tothe Grand Lodge.. So there . is hope that some of the records of the demised Lodges may actuallyexist. Just remember what the conditions were like during the period oftime that the Lodge ceasedto work(demised), and its location. Texas presently has over 900 active Masonic Lodges throughout the state. Your local Masonic Lodge secretary has a book of current active Lodges, their addresses and phone numbers, and the names of their officers, and he will be happy to assist you in your quest for information. This link to the past is the connection that will flesh out what the individual was in his community. It wi II identify him as a man of his word, well thought of by his associates, and a person who could be trusted to do the right thing. He was proud to be called, and known, as a Master Mason in his time. Today, we are proud to call him "Brother." ~ Thanks to Clara MOUNCEfor the following pictures. 100 Train and park site - 26th street looking east. The county courthouse is in the upper left of the photo. 101 The ASTIN house located at 600 E. 29th Street in Bryan. This home was built by Mrs. Onah WARD ASTIN (died in 1944) after the death of her husband James H. ASTIN in 1897. The ASTIN's were plantation owners and grew cotton. The. house was designed by the firm of Howard MESSER and S. Wemyss SMITH of Waco who came to town every other weekend to supervise construction of this house and several others. Construction began in 1901 and completed in 1903. This two-story Greek revival home contained twelve rooms with an attic on the third floor. There were four fireplaces on the first floor and one upstairs. A monumental portion on the front elevation is supported by pairs of fluted Corinthian columns, with one square and one round column in each pair. A two-tiered veranda wraps around thr~e sides of the house. There were twostaircases with one to the front and another in backto allow passage and ventilation. It was constructed primarily from pecan wood. ~ 102 rr. hiS....issue.co~Hnuesanotherseri~s on..indivi~Uals in. The Brvan Daily EagfeBusiness L Issue On Apn122, 1913, Transcnbed by Janis HUNT.

Transcribed by Janis HUNT. 111 "When I Was 21" - February 7,1927, p. 1 Dr. John W. BLACK "When I was 21 I was studying medicine at Dallas and working my way through school by operating a laundry in Bonham during the summer time," stated Dr. John W. BLACK of Bryan. Dr. BLACK was graduated from the medical department of Southwestern University in Dallas in 1909, and hung up his shingle in Hearne on October 1 of that year. He remained in Hearne for nine years, where he says he was "so broke" that he could not get out of town. He moved to Bryan January 1, 1919, where he has enjoyed a liberal practice and ranks as one of the leading physicians of this section. In addition to finding time to cure the sick, he also has time to cheer the well in the capacities of president of the Bryan Rotary Club and president of the Methodist Men's Brotherhood Association. He is a member of the Board of Stewards of the Methodist church, a member of the Masonic lodge, and of the county, State, and national medical associations. Although people do not need doctors now as often as they once did, they consult them more often when they do need them. The public's knowledge of hygiene and sanitation have vastly improved, and now people do not wait until they are in the throes of the sickbed to consult the physician. They allow him to practice his science before the disease has a firm hold. When asked if people had appendicitis more frequently than during the time of our grandparents, he answered an emphatic "no." People used to die from appendicitis, and did not know what was the matter with them. Doctors look for the trouble these days and that is why it seems to be on the increase. Physicians' ideas about the cure of many diseases have undergone complete changes, among them being diphtheria, diabetes, and scarlet fever. Their method of treating cancer also has been revolutionized, but this disease apparently is on the increase. "A doctor has to read and keep up with the changes as much as the milliner," he said, The doctor has his troubles, too. People pay their doctor bills after they have paid everybody else and happen to have a little left. "The psychology of it is this. When a person buys merchandise he has the product to show for his purchase. When a prescription is filled, he has the medicine to show for his money. But he fails to realize that the knowledge of the doctor is his stock in trade and must be charged for just as is a suit of clothes or a Ford car," said Dr. BLACK. "Furthermore, when a merchant has a stock of $25,000 and dies, his estate is left to his heirs. When a doctor spends $25,000 for his education and dies, his capital stock goes 112 with him. But that is all right. A doctor usually gets a good living,and that's about all any of us receive," stated the. physician. Bryan City Cemetery Dr. John William BLACK Born 12 Feb 1886 Died 27 Aug 1937 ** * * * Wilson BRADLEY We take this method of introducing to you Bryan's official treasurer, the public-spirited citizen who held five such positions at one time, a man who is willing to put his shoulder to the wheel and let the other fellpw get the glory--Wilson BRADLEY, local dry goods and gents's furnishing merchant. . "When I was 211 Was working for Uncle Samat Groveton," he said. Mr. BRADLEY was born in Troy, Alabama, and came to Texas when 18. After a fling with Uncle Sam, he moved to Navasota, where he lived for two years and kept books for the big LJ. WILSON dry goods store. He came to Bryan October 16, 1905, and had saved up $1 ,000 in cool cash. Most of the men who. have been written up in this column landed here dead "broke," but Mr. BRADLEY brought something with him. He had saved this $1,000 on a $75 per month salary, and whenever he accumulated $5 he marched to the bank and deposited it. After keeping bOOks for two years for HOWELL Bros. grocery store, he worked for the First National Bank for two years. Later he worked for five years for the First State Bank. Twelve years ago he went into partnership inthedry goods business with the late Sam B. WILSON,andthree years ago he opened up for himse.'f. "You see I am a "jack at all trades,"he stated. "No," we interrupted, "you are an ace of all trades. II He then confessed he did not know a great deal aboUt cards, anyway. Mr. BRADLEY says that he has found the banking business very helpful experience, and it has been of much assistance tohim in the dry goods and furnishings business, but it has "its ups and downs," too. He said that here is not much money working for a bank unless you oWHabout 60 per cent of the stock. He thinks that every man should try to work for himself. Mr.. BRADLEY has kept vigil over the purse strings of other people's and organizations' moneymore than any other citizen of Bryan. When asked ofhis affiliations, he named first the Methodist church. He also was one of the originators of the Building and Loan Association, a charter member ofthe Chamber of Commerce, and a member of the City Commission. He has acted as mayor pro-tem a number of times,. but could not be persuaded to entertain any hopes of being mayor. His friends say that he has been 113 identified with every movement for the advancement of Bryan, and always has time to help out in any worthwhile civic enterprise. It can be said of Mr. BRADLEY that he is a self- made man, and he does not have an exaggerated opinion ofthe maker. Bryan City Cemetery Wilson BRADLEY Born 02 Dee 1880 Died 25 Mar 1964 * * * * * Father Basil BRAVI, O. S. B. "When I was 21 I was a student of St. Anselm of the University of Rome," stated Father Basil BRAVI, Order of St. Benedict, who is rector of the St. Anthony church in Bryan. Father BRAVI attended the University for seven years, and received his degree of Master of Divinity. Among the courses he studied were Greek, Hebrew, English, Aramaic, Ecclesiastical History, Christian Archeology, Dogmatic Theology, Moral Theology, Gregorian Chant, and the Patristic. When he completed his college course he was appointed professor of Biblical Exigesis at the University of Rome. He was forced to resign this position when the war broke out and became a lieutenant in the Italian army. After thewarhe was appointed rector of St. Gregory.church in Rome, where he remained for three years. The Bishop of St. Benedict sent Father BRAVI to the United States, his first position being as rector of the church at Altonna, Penn. He stayed there one year. The bishop of Galveston called him to the St. Anthony church in Bryan six years ago, and during his tenure here he has been instrumental in building up one of the most active churches in this section. Mt. Calvary Cemetery Rev. Basil BRAVI Born 31 Oct 1882 Pastor St. Anthony Church 38 years Died 27 Sep 1960 * * * * * U.M.BROCK "When I was 21 I was teaching school in Livingston," said U. M, BROCK, brother of J. L. BROCK, and half owner of the Sam B. WILSON dry goods store. Mr. BROCK only 114 recently came to Bryan from Grape/and. Mr. BROCK, who was born in Livingston, was graduated from high school there and started teach.ing school at the age of 18. He taught for six years and then abandoned this profession to go to work for J. W. COCHRAN and Co., big general merchandise store of Livingston. He was manager of the dry goods department ofthis store for six years. It seems that Mr. BROCK did everything on a six-year basis. For the next six years he was assistant cashier of the First National Bank of Livingston, an institution controlled by Mr. COCHRAN. Having made good at this venture,he went to Grapelandandorganized and became cashier of the Grapeland State Bank, apositionhe filled for 15 years, resigning a few week ago to come to Bryan. His daughter, Miss Melba K BROCK,i is now acting cashier of the bank, but she intends to join her.father here soon. Under...his management this bank flourished, despite its small deposits,and.the stock has been enhanced 50 per cent and the stockholders have received in .di\lidendsmorethan the amount of their original investment. Mr. BROCK is a member of the Masonic lodge, the Eastern Star, and the First Methodist church. He says he likes Bryan very much, and is. impressed with the hospitality and progressiveness of our citizenship. The dry goods business has undergone many changes since he was in the game, and. he finds that he must acquaint himself with many new classes of dress gOods materials. "But I surely like my new environment, and I think it is much better in every way to be working for yourself than fora number of stockholders." Bryan City Cemetery Uzel M. BROCK Born 22 Nov 1873 Died 18 Jan 1970 * * * * * E. R. BRYANT "When I was 211 was hopping counters the same asl am now," stated E. R. BRYANT, the affable manager of the J. C. PENNEY store in Bryan. Mr. BRYANT was working in the grocery department of a general merchandise store in SilverCity,lowa,his native heath. This was the first job he everheld, starting in at 16, His first duties were to delivefgroceriesafter school in a horse-driven buggy. He stayed on this job for seven years, when he answered the call. to try to obtain an education. 115 When he was 23 he quit his job and went to Omaha, Nebraska, where he began studying at a business college. He finally had to leave school to answer the draft, being called on November 11, the day the Armistice was signed. Back in his home town he had to make a decision as to the future. Should he be a farmer or a merchant, that was the question. He showed good judgment by not going to the. farm. He signed up with the J. C. PENNEY & Co. at Abilene, Texas, and bade his home State and home town good-bye. He was ready to begin his career. At Abilene, which is one of the best cities in West Texas, he started as clerk in this big corporation. He worked his way up to assistant manager, and a few months ago when the Penney company decided to come into Bryan, he was named as manager of the local store. Since coming to Bryan he has joined the Lions Club and the Chamber of Commerce, and is making the city a valuable addition. The Penney chain stores have an interesting and romantic history. J. C. PENNEY is head of the corporation of 745 stores. He does not own an interest in all of the stores, each manager having one-third interest. Members of the firm own most of the stock in the stores. Abilene is the parent store of the Bryan firm, and the manager of the parent store has a third interest. The manager of the Abilene store has the other third interest. Mr. PENNEY, who is now only 56, started out in 1902 at the little mining town of Kamerer, Wyoming, with $500 borrowed capita!. In 24 years he has opened up almost 800 stores, and owns the largest number of chain department stores inthe world. There have been only three stores in recent years to fail tomake money, and they were moved to other cities. They always try to secure one of theb~st locations in a town, and believe strongly in attractive show windows and the value of newspaper advertising. "lam exceedingly well pleased with conditions in Bryan. We have done even better here than I expected. The people of Brazos county are much prosperous than in many localities, and. iUs a genuine pleasure to try to dobusiness with them," stated Mr. BRYANT. Bryan City Cemetery Earl Raymond BRYANT Alice Plumb BRYANT Born 04 May 1892 Born 05 May 1892 Died 02 Jan 1960 Died 25 Feb 1976 ***** Travis B. BRYAN "When I was 21 I was on easy street," facetiously said Travis B, BRYAN, cashier of the First National Bank. 116 Mr. BRYAN, who has the distinction of being the grandson of the man for whom our city was named, was born in Giddings, andattendedpublic school there. But as soon as he started outto hustle forhimselfhe came to Bryan, and has the distinction of being the first secretary of the Extension Service of A. and M. College, having served under C. M. EVANS, first superintendent. In1911 he began his career with the First National Bank, and he says he was "assistant to the. president." He served as assistant cashier for six years, and has been cashier for about the same length of time. He voluntarily said that is duties consisted of making fires, sweeping out, making change and performing other chores around the institution. Last week he Was elected a director of the Chamber of Commerce, a position Which he has been elected to four times before. He is a charter member of the Country Club, and has served the organization as its treasurer since its incfpiency. He81so is a charter memper of the Rotary Club, a member of the Shrine, Knights T emplar, blue lodge, and Eastern Star. His hobbies are playing golf and telling good stories. He claims that he likes the former the better, but his friends know that he also enjoys the latter to the maximum extent. He believes in buying at home and spending your money here, andthis isa principle that he not only pr~aches buta!/so practices. He heartily endorses theCharnber of Commerce's policyqf passing peddlers. He says that G. L.BEASON, cQunty agent, has made Bryan and Brazos county one if its most useful citiz.ens in history. i "A few years ago most of the persons in Brazos county were opposed to extension service development, and also to the Chamber of Commerce. But by terracing one farmer's land! and then another, he has proved the value of this kind of work. When they had the first fa!rmer's short course at A. and M. College, there was one farmer from Brazos dountyin atterdance. Last summer there were hundreds of farmers present from this county atthe sh6rt course. "The extension service is one of the greatest powers in the stabilization of agriGulture," he said. Bryan City Cemetery Travis B.
