I cannot assume this new responsibility without acknowledging the great job done by Mary COOPER in this capacity during the past two years. Mary will still be around in much evidence as she and Theresa EARLE will carry on in the editing and typing of our Brazos Genealogical Advertiser. We have added Dorothy CLARK, Christine DULANEY and Marian GRAHAM to the official staff. They will serve as Vice - President, Recording Secretary and Librarian respectively. Shirley REDMAN is still ready to collect your dues. Our membership has quadrupled since a dozen or so of us huddled in an organizational meeting two years ago this month. It will take all of us working together to insure con- tinuing growth. There are things YOU can do, such as make phone calls, contribute items to the ADVERTISER, and attend and bring friends to the monthly meetings. See you later, The following article is the result of a good geneal- ogist who is always looking out for helpful information- -even when it doesn't help his finest Walter PARSONS ran across an old book in a building on the Texas A &M campus. The book was in the discard pile, but Walter thought it might be of interest to searchers in the area. The book itself is A MANUAL FOR FUNERALS For the Use of Pastors, Compiled and Edited by Lansing BURROWS, D.D. There is no publishing date, but the preface says 'Augusta,. Ga., 1885. The book appears to have been the property of Dr. T. D. BROOKS, and there are some small books and a. few pictures that were his also. Our interest is in the listing of funerals conducted. These are listed in the book along with some additional notes on the services held. The following article is the genealogical infor- mation that may be of use to people in the area. There is no nota- tion on most of these as to the place of burial, and it does not appear that they were Brazos County, but may be in nearby counties. Additional information concerning this little book will be welcome and may be published in a future edition. 69 70 KNOW WHAT ;` ARTICLES The chart in the back of the book is headed in this way: RECORD OF FUNERALS DATE NAME AGE' TEXT 1885 Nov 26 J.
