In 1946 Jane Harkrider PORTER interviewed Mr. Joseph Newton VERNON and his good friend, Mr. W. E. WILLIAMS as they sat visiting around a stove in Parker -Astin Hardware, Main St., Bryan. The review appeared in a Bryan Newspaper, and a copy was found among the papers of Mr. VERNON follow- ing his death. The story of Mr. Joseph Newton VERNON is a combination of the newspaper article and a story written by Corena SHEFFIELD. JOHN VERNON John VERNON was born September 14, 1827 in Manchester, England, the first son of .Joseph and Margarett VERNON. John and his parents and eleven brothers and sisters left Manchester and sailed from Liverpool, England, on July 12, 1849 on the sail ship named Bark Blake, for New Orleans, Louisiana. This information was taken from a photo- static copy of the passenger list. The Bark Blake weighed 731 tons. As a child, John and his brother, Henry, saw Queen Victoria crowned July 28, 1838. They were invited to visit the Queen on the first of May, as a good omen. At one time the boat stood still on the water for three weeks, because there was no wind. A number of the crew and passengers died of cholera and a were buried at sea. While the boat stood still, the sharks came up all around the edge, caus- ing a lot of fright to the passengers. They landed in New Orleans, then sailed to Galveston, Texas, then to Houston. From there, they "traveled in a 12 yoke ox -wagon to Brazos County, Texas. It took ten days to make the trip. On the way Joseph and baby George died of chills and fever. No one knows where they are buried. Margarett and eleven children were registered in the 1850 census of Brazos County. They moved to Milam County and were counted in the 1860 census there.. Margarett married John STOVALL in Milam County. She was buried in Bell County, Texas in a cemetery called Stoval Valley. John left Milam County and went to Grimes County to teach school. There he met Nancy Harriette DISERENS. John and Nancy, who was thirteen at the time, were married on September 30, 1854. Nancy was born Yebruary 22, 1841 in Pike County, Illinois, to David DISERENS and Salley AVERS. Her parents brought cattle and moved to Texas in 1850. Nancy took the practice of medicine while on the frontier. She was taught medicine by her father, who was born in Switzerland, and studied medicine there. She also studied medical books which she ordered from Lutres Company. She was called an herb doctor. She helped people in Llano, W Brazos, Grimes and Madison Counties. Nancy drove a white horse hitched to a buggy, to make her house calls. When she was late getting home, she would tie the reins and let the horse go. She would sleep and he would take her home. Because of asthma, John and his family went west with about 300 head of cattle and settled on the Llano River in Llano County. There he joined the Indian Scouts to help guard the women and children. They lost their third child, George William, at the age of three. In 1865, they moved back to Grimes County. They bought land six miles south of Iola, Texas. They lived there a few years. Then they moved to Madison County, to land between Pleasant Grove and Oak Grove, where they lived the rest of their lives. In Madison County John VERNON was Justice of the Peace, Notary Public, Commissioner, and Tax Assessor of Precinct 4 in the southwest corner of the county. He was a minister of the Jehovah's Witness faith. To John and Nancy VERNON the following children were born: 1. John David, married Adeline ROBERTS; 2. James Henry; 3. George William, who died in infancy; 4. Mary Francis, married John T. TAYLOR; 5. Joseph Isaac Newton, married Nancy Caroline BATES; 6. Alfred Ray, married Mahola GEORGE; 7. Flora Mae; 8. Edwin, married Marybelle PRATER. John and Nancy Harriette are buried in Willow Hole Cemetery, Madison County. JOSEPH ISAAC NEWTON VERNON Joseph or (Jodie) VERNON was born April 21, 1865 in Llano County, Texas. He was the son of John VERNON and Nancy Harriette DISERENS. Soon after his birth, Jodie's parents moved to Grimes County to a community called Old Davis Ville. Four years later they moved to Madison County, near Pleasant Grove. At 17, Jodie went to serve as an apprentice to learn the black- smith trade. At 18 he went to work at a cotton gin. He was a born mechanic. He did machine work in gins from the time he was 18 until he was 70. He owned two gins during his lifetime, one in Dugan and the other in Pleasant Grove. The last ox team Jodie drove out of Bryan had nine yoke of steers. He was hauling a boiler for a cotton gin. The boiler weighed about 11,000 pounds. He had only 10 miles to go, and there were only two bridges in the Brazos bottom, but he had to ford streams about 25 times to get to his destination. He bogged down plenty of times and was on the road three weeks. "Yes, sir," he said, "If I bogged down, which happned plenty of times, I laughed about it. I'm a man that don't take to trouble." He also worked at a number of saw mills, one on the Navasota River between North Zulch and Bryan. It was at this time that the August storm of 1917 blew in. When the storm woke Jodie, the water was several inches deep. Just as he got his things out of the tent, the tree to which the tent was tied, fell across where his bed had been. He told the reporter, "I was a postmaster about 41 years ago for Zulrich in Madison County." Jodie VERNON had a total of 18 months formal schooling in his life. It was a one room school with 50 pupils. At one time his father had taught school. "We'd come in from our night chores," he reminisced, "and he'd tell us child- ren to get our books, so I'd always get the arithmetic. I can do any kind of figuring I want. Of course I'm not so good at algebra and things like that, but I PTQ MPJ can figure land and any kind of arithmetic I want." Jodie married Nancy Caroline (Kallie) BATES, daughter of Daniel Worths Bates and Catherine Annie HONEYCUT, on March 25, 1885. Nancy became a resident of Madison County when her father died and her mother brought her and her sister and three brothers from Winn Parish, Louisiana. Jodie's parents'': house was at the top of a sand hill under big pecan trees. He and Kallie lived in a valley about one fourth mile north of the big house. When his father died in 1910, his mother asked him to move the big house down to his small house. He rolled the house on logs to it's present site. Cora, their youngest daughter, was 5 years old and rode in the house as it was moved. The house had four rooms, two large and two small rooms. When Jodie moved it he separated it and put a hall all the way through it. Also a long porch across the front, with a small room at each end of the porch. One room was called the fruit room. There all the fruit and vegetables that were grown and canned were stored. Just give Kallie 30 minutes to get her old black iron stove hot to make biscuits and she could put a meal on the table that Jodie had built for her. The table was round and had a lazy susan on top of it. He made the lazy susan turn on the hub of a buggy wheel. To Jodie VERNON and Nancy Caroline BATES were born eight children: 1. Daniel Everett, married Ophelia Katy MOSLEY; 2. Sarah Ann Vdxginia, married Edgar BUTLER; 3. Nancy Alice, married Irvin Henry CROCKER; 4-Mary Beffal married Henry Alfred TAYLOR; 5. °Lilly•Bell died-at age'six; 6. Lena Mae, married Karl J. (Charlie) Pachall; 7. James Ace died at age 2; 8. Cora Amanda, married Henry Clay HARDING. Jodie died April 1, 1948, and Kallie died August 19, 1963. They are both buried in Willow Hole Cemetery, Madison County, Texas.

For tzer, Ed. pro tiampore BRYAN ROTARY CLUB The Rotary movement has now been sufficiently long established (since the year 1905) that its records may be looked on as an historical source. Our own Bryan Rotary Club, though not boasting quite so early a beginning, is in itself worthy of note in this regard. Rotary had its beginning February 23, 1905, when a young Chicago lawyer named Paul Harris met with three other Chicago business and professional men to initiate a men's club. Members were to be selected one from each business or profession in the city. They met weekly, rotating each week to a differ- ent member's place of work, thus earning the name °Rotary°. From this begin- ning the movement has grown to be the most prominent and prestigious service club worldwide, having by 1987 more than one million members in more than 22,000 individual clubs in more than 160 nations. The Bryan Rotary Club celebrated its golden anniversary in 1971, and it ® is from the report of this event that my data are taken, with the kind per- mission of the Club's officials. Its formation parallelled very closely the formation of the first Rotary Club; T. K. LAWRENCE of Brandon and Lawrence, clothiers, invited J. Webb HOWELL, operator of an oil mill in Bryan, Wilson BRADLEY, in the dry goods business on North Main Street, and Oak MCKENZIE, an attorney in the Commerce Building, to an informal luncheon at the New York Club. This was late in April, 1921. An expanded meeting was held a few days later, with eleven more business and professional men from Bryan and College Station, and a date was set for formal chartering of the club. On May 9 1921 four members of the existing Houston Rotary club came to Bryan with credentials from Rotary International to effect the formal organ- ization. Headed by Bishop C. S. QUIN, this group included also T. S. PAYNE, R. E. KERR, and F. M. LAW. The charter members of the Bryan club and their classifications are listed here: Ike S. ASHBURN Commandant, A &M T. K.

S CLAYTON LIBRARY CENTER FOR GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH HOUSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY 5300 CAROLINE HOUSTON, TEXAS 77004 The new 23,000 square foot Clayton Library, Center for Genealogical Research opened to the public on October 31, 1988. Known as one of the finest genealogical research centers in the United States, Clayton Library maintains an in- depth, extensive genealogical collection. All the census records from 1790 through 1900 are owned as well as some of the 1910. All of the 1880, most of the 1900 and some of the 1910 soundexes are part of this fine collection. Military records include indices for service records from 1776 through the Mexican War and Confederate service. Also owned are indices for Federal military pensions from 1776 through 1934. Passenger lists are part of the collection. Many rolls of original records cover myriad states but the microfilm collection is particularly strong for Virginia, Tennessee, North - Carolina, South Carolina, and Missouri. Among materials on fiche are all the Massachusetts vital records published to date, IGI file, both old and new, and the Family History Library catalog. Some 35/40,000 books, 25,000 plus film and 20,000 plus fiche covers every state in the United States plus some foreign countries. Research opportunities into countries such.as Great Britain, Germany, France, Canada, and Ireland are provided. There is a seating capacity in the Reading /Research Room for 100, and in the Microform Reading Area for 84, with a book capacity of 75,000 volumes, 72,000 microfilm reels and 80,000 microfiche. For the convenience of researchers there are copier rooms, small conference rooms, and a snack bar. Furniture and equipment for the new facility was funded by a grant from Houston Endowment Inc. through the Clayton Library Friends, organized in 1987 for support of Clayton Library. Furnishings for the building were chosen with the researcher's comfort and convenience in mind. The study tables are 48 inches wide and are reminiscent of the Mission style, and are of oak as are all other wooden furnishings. The second floor has specially designed microform reader stations equipped with sliding writing shelves. Seating chosen for this area is the adjustable "userfriendly" ergonomic chair. The collection was in the former home of William L. and Susan A. Vaughan Clayton which had been donated to the Houston Public Library by the Claytons. The plan to expand the facility was brought about by growth in the physical size of the unique collection and the tremendous increase in the patronage After restoration the Clayton Home will again be used to house a section of the research materials. The current hours of the facility are: Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday 9am - 9pm; Thursday, Friday, Saturday 9am - 5pm Telephone (713) 524 -0101. Miss Maxine Alcorn, Librarian 97 CLAYTON.....

He must have been a' handsome figure - more than six feet tall and always straight as an Indian. This suit was entirely successful until he got in a drenching rain. When he came home she almost had hysterics. The shirt ended along with the crotch of the breeches, somewhere about the knees. She never knew why her piece of buckskin had acted in that fashion. Perhaps some squaw, jealous of seeing a white woman compete in making buckskin hunting togs, chewed stretchberries into her job of skin chewing. While Grandpa went about his business of hunting, plowing, and planting, Grandmother dug up Cherokee roses and Virginia creeper and yellow jessamine and planted them around her cabin. Still using the heel of her flat iron as a hammer, she made shelves and benches and other comforts the inside of the cabin. During this time Grandma's older children were born, with only an Indian woman to.act as midwife. As she had lived in deadly fear of Indians ever since she had first set foot in Texas, I imagine that at the first sight of her helper standing in the door she promptly gave birth to the baby and no foolishness about it. It was while these first children were babies that she had a frightening experience. She was alone one night - Grandpa having been called away on some sort of business. One of the children was ill and the other just beginning to walk, at the age when a child has to be constantly looked after. In some manner a pot sitting on the fire was upset, putting out the fire and drenching the kindling. Grandmother tried over and over to start a fresh fire, but couldn't get the tow to catch. It was getting dark and turning colder. There was only one answer. She went out and caught and saddled the horse. Then, carefully covering the sick baby, she hung the perforated iron bucket on the horn of her saddle and took the other baby up in front of her. She set out for the nearest neighbor, miles away, for a bucket of coals. By the time she got well started it had become pitch dark. To her wild imaginings of Indians peering from behind every tree there was soon added a real terror. Suddenly from the depths of those dark woods came the wild unearthly yell of a panther. Her horse fled in terror, but the panther seemed even closer when it yelled again. Grandma had only one problem - that of keeping herself and the baby on the horse. He took care of everything else himself. What with the shrieks of the panther and having his ribs all but broken with 111 the banging fire bucket, the poor horse must have been frantic. When they reached the farm house he turned as though he knew where to find help and bolted into the yard. The men of the family immediately organized a panther hunt and went out and killed the beast. It was one of the largest panthers ever found in that region. There were many memories connected with that Texas sojourn that made tales for long winter evenings. There was the one about a neighbor who was ironing one day in the summer. She had her irons heating at the fireplace in one room and she ironed in the other room, to be away from the heat. The baby's cradle stood in front of the door and, as she came in with a hot iron, she glanced at the cradle in time to see a panther standing over it, gust ready to seize the sleeping child. She flew at it with the hot iron and beat it so energetically that, although she herself was covered with scratches, she actually killed the panther. It was during this time that Grandma had one of her saddest memories. There was a little boy - one of the babies of the wild ride episode - who must have been near to a genius. Of course he could have never seen a picture, other than some scrap of paper that might have been in-their things when they came from Ohio. But, using any bit of pencil or charcoal he could find, and drawing on whatever paper was available, he made pictures that looked like engravings. He thought out the idea of smudging in a cloud effect with shaved up lead from his pencil and the end of his little finger. And he was only nine when he died. He must have had some one of the diseases due to deficiencies in diet. He begged for wheat bread to the last and they had no way of getting it for him. Grandma said that all of her life there were times when, thinking of him, light bread choked in her throat. In the meantime Grandpa had in some manner got ten acres on Galveston Island in a trade. He decided to go and look it over, and accordingly set forth. Whether he ever saw his new property or not, God knows. What did happen, however, was that he had some sort of trouble with a Mexican who played a different game from my Grandpa knew, and stabbed him in the back - right through his body, cutting through a lung. How he got through this experience with his life is a mystery, but somehow he did. In any event, by the time he was well over it, Grandma set her foot down firmly. She was going back to civilization. She had at least one child buried there in the wilderness, and while they stayed, there was no chance for their children to have any schooling. Perhaps Grandpa was willing himself to "relax" for a few years after the gruelling hardships of pioneering in a country that could have unbelievably cold winters along with many of the pests peculiar to the semi - tropical South. At any rate, he traded his Galveston property for a silver mounted rifle, which he subsequently gave to a friend, and what was left of the family set out for Louisiana, where he finally bought a farm in _. Mansfield in the northern part of the state.

Four questions were asked, which are briefly answered thus: 1. White; 2. One; 3. One; 4. One, surnamed Black. All that is not very satisfying, so your ed. will try to fill in a few of the details. For convenience in identification, I will assign first names to some of the villagers. The founding couple, John and Susan WHITE, have a total of four off- spring, either brought with them or born in the village; it does not mat- ter which. Only two are still children and live with them, in the fourth house. Counting grown offspring as well as children, they have a total of six grandchildren: three children named White, one child named Black, a mar- ried grandson named Richard Black, and a married granddaughter Mary (Black) Grey. The two "outside" men are Robert Black and Howard Grey. The two "out- side" women shall remain nameless. Howard GREY married Mary Black, and they have no offspring at all. They live in the first house. Henry WHITE, son of the founding couple, married one of the two "out- side" women, and they have three offspring, all still living with them in the fifth house. Deborah White, daughter of the founding couple, married Robert BLACK, and they have three offspring: a married son Richard Black, a married daugh- ter Mary (Black) Grey, and a child still living with them in the 2nd house (or the 3rd; it does not matter which). Richard BLACK married the other of the two "outside" women. They have one offspring, still a child, living with them in the 3rd house (or 2nd). Now you can draw up the villagers' family trees! A word of caution; I do not know whether or not there are other correct solutions!
