as we look back our organization has had some success this year with some of our programs and activities. I am very proud of our contributions to the Carnegie Center of Brazos Valley
History, the Madison County Genealogical Society and to the general public who attended the Bryan City Cemetery's Homecoming. I would also like to recognize Ruth HARY and Allen DEAN,
whose efforts with research and publishing have significantly contributed to our increased membership. As we review the past, we, too, must look to the future. We must review our current
program since we continue to concentrate on presentations at our monthly meetings. I believe that this, however interesting creates a very large burden on the program chairman and the
officers, and quite possibly contributes to some hesitancy of our membership to serve as officers. I would like to propose that we review this history of our organization and
133 attempt to determine a new path, which will contribute to our stated goal of increasing our genealogical knowledge. I believe that it is time that we begin to plan for research trips
and to move our meeting days during some months to the weekend. While we are all busy with other affairs, I hope that we could make time once or twice a year to organize a day trip to
Conroe, Houston, or Austin for research. I would also like to propose that we seriously look at our meetings during the summer season -May, June and July, or, June, July and August.
We do not meet in the month of July already and some of these other monthly meetings this past year were simply not well attended. I believe that we should seriously consider discontinuing
another monthly meeting during this time. I also believe that with the success of our presence at Homecoming this year that we look to continue that practice as a community service project.
We attempted to host a "community help session" in June, which was not well received. I believe that our failure to aggressively advertise and the day we decided to host it contributed
to the low turnout. I still think that this is a good idea and perhaps with some better marketing and coordination with the Carnegie we could develop this into a successful event. My
last discussion topic concerns fund-raising. I have mentioned several times before that we should begin to think and discuss what we can do for the Centennial Celebration of the Carnegie.
This is a major historical event for both the local community and the State of Texas. I have several ideas regarding this event
and will continue to share them, but would appreciate any feedback on this matter from our membership. In addition to the possibility of raising funds, it should give us some local publicity
and might allow us to contribute financially to the Carnegie itself. Please send your ideas to johnblair83@hotmail.com or give me a call at (979) 260-6911. Thanks and take care From
The Editor’s Desk Henry MAYO gave a presentation on maps, the Texas General Land Office and their Adopt-a-Map program at the October meeting. He also provided the web links below. Another
year is ending. Thanks to the speakers and to those who provided suggestions for programs. Thanks also to those who provided material for the quarterly. More help is needed for more
material for this publication. Enclosed is the membership application for 2002. If you have ideas for programs, content for this publication or other suggestions, please contact one
of the officers.

Community Notes In the early issues of the Weekly Eagle and the Bryan Daily Eagle, letters were published under the titles of “County New” or “Correspondence.” These were letters from
residents of small communities in rural Brazos County. They contain information about births, marriages, deaths, social gatherings, church activities, residents and visitors in these
communities. In this issue Wellborn is highlighted. Transcribed by Janis HUNT. This concludes this series.Wellborn -Abstracts from the Bryan Eagle November 14, 1889, p. 8, col. 1 Wellborn.

ROYDER, also Mr. W. B. McGREGOR, purchased lots from Capt. ORR. The latter we hear contemplate building at once. We will gladly welcome his excellent wife to town. The two former are
young men of rare energy and business qualifications, and they doubtless will erect pretty cages, which will cause their many friends to look for the birds, and listen for the merry
peal of the "wedding bells." Mr. YEAGER, of Bryan, has bought Mr. J. N. FARQUHAR's entire stock and will continue business at the same old stand. We are please to learn that he and his
family will
136 move to our growing little town. Felix November 21, 1889, p. 8, col. 5 Wellborn. Cold, bleak winter is making its appearance once more, and with it the report of wedding bells on

acquainted with the people here they will have no cause to regret moving to their new home. We here that there is to be a wedding on the first of December. Can anyone tell who the unfortunate
parties are? Not long ago Mr. J. R. DONNELL took a trip to northwest Texas, and on his return gave a glowing description of that section of the country. He speaks of moving in the near
future to that country. Cotton is slowly but steadily coming in, and not withstanding the heavy crops made it is holding to a very good price. We learn this morning that one car of the
lumber for the new Baptist church is on the side track, and we hope that in the near future the house will be completed. We are very thankful for the help received from Bryan and elsewhere
in this good work. Mr. P. N. CAUSEY has made a great improvement by adding to his already comfortable house. We learn that the parties who called for the letters of dismissal from the

the place in Mr. CAUSEY's pasture near the town where Mr. R. H. WARD is sinking a shaft to ascertain if bituminous coal or good lignite exists there in paying quantities. A seventy foot
tower has been put up and a drill or bit set with eight large diamonds is used for the work. This bit cuts out a round core from every strata through which it passes, and these cores,
kept in a room provided with shelves or racks, are perfect samples of all the earth, stone, etc., through which the drill passes. The drill is operated by steam with the most improved
machinery and the shaft is kept clear by a stream of water from a force pump, in the same manner that the deep well was bored at the water works plant here last year. The drill goes
down 20 or 25 feet per day, and is now at a depth of a hundred feet or more. Nothing is yet known as to what the outcome of the investigation will be. Mr. WARD is a most pleasant gentleman

Glenn FLINN, Pastor The first member of the First Methodist Church of Bryan was received in the year 1869. The church, as then organized, was the successor of a church organized many
years previous at Ferguson Springs, near the Ferguson Crossing on the Navasota River. This organization was moved to Booneville and afterward to Bryan. Among the first pastors of this
church in Bryan was Rev. H. G. HORTON, now a superannuated member of the West Texas Annual Conference. Among those who have succeeded him were Revs. Cravens Mizell GOODWYN, E. S. SMITH,
T. F. MITCHELL, S. C. LITTLEPAGE, C. H. BUCHANAN, J. B. COCHRAN, J. F. FULLEN, C. R. LAMAR, H. T. PHILPOT, N. J. BUGGS, Bishop E. D. MOUZON, George E. CLOTHIER, E. L. SHETTLES, I. F.
BETTS, J. B. TERRENTINE, T. H. MORRIS, and the present pastor, Rev. Glenn FLINN. The church has grown from a small beginning to a membership of over five hundred and is one
of the leading moral and religious forces of the city. Its development in the last
148 ten years has been especially noteworthy. A splendid new church was erected by the congregation in 1902, only to be burned in 1906. The plucky congregation, however, undaunted by
this disaster, turned itself to the immediate task of building again and the present structure, one of the most complete and attractive in Central Texas, stands as a monument to their
zeal and sacrifice. In 1911 the last cent of indebtedness was paid on this building and it was dedicated. The congregation has now turned its attention to the broader interests of the
church and is becoming one of the leading forces in the Methodist denomination of the State, now supporting its own missionary in China at an outlay of $1350 annually, and besides taking
its place in the support of the various other enterprises of the church. * * * * * First Presbyterian Church -Rev. J. R. FINLEY, Pastor At the spring meeting of the Presbytery of Brazos
in the year 1867 a committee was appointed to organize a Presbyterian church in the city of Bryan, Bryan, Texas. In pursuance of their duty this committee, consisting of Revs. James
WILSON and J. R. HUTCHISON, met in Bryan on the fourth Sabbath in November, 1867, and organized a church consisting of twenty-four members, all of whom had formerly been members of the
Presbyterian Church at various places but who had come to live in Bryan and who then and there made anew their profession of faith in the Lord Jesus and their desire to renew their allegiance
to Him and His cause. Mr. Champ CARTER was duly elected, ordained and installed to office as ruling elder, but shortly thereafter he removed from Bryan and Mr. Alexander ALLEN, who was
already a ruling elder, was installed in place of Mr. CARTER. In the fall of the year 1870 Mr. C. I. EVANS was also elected an elder of the church, but during the winter of 1871 Mr.
EVANS mysteriously disappeared and was never heard of again. The first pastor of this church was Rev. J. R. HUTCHISON of Houston, who came up twice a month to preach here, and at that
time the church did not have a house to worship in but obtained the use of an old warehouse in which services were held. In the year 1869 the church determined to build a house for their
use in the worship of the Lord, but as they were all poor people they could not afford to buy the lumber and the men of the church, under the leadership of Mr. L. D. STOCKTON, then an
elder of the church, determined to build the House with their own hands, although they were not carpenters. However they raised enough money to employ Henry JOHNSON, a negro carpenter,
to assist them in cutting the framing, and by the first of January, 1870 they had the walls up and the roof on. The floor was laid of rough, undressed boards, and rough planks supported
on blocks were used for seats. The writer has often heard the old negro carpenter, Henry JOHNSON, now dead, boast of laying off the framing of the church, and particularly of how he
built the steeple,
149 supporting it by a "queen truss." The Presbyterian Church of Bryan has the particular distinction of being the only church whose members actually built their house of worship with
their own hands, and up to the present time they have always depended solely upon their own membership to meet all the needs of the church. During the forty-six years of our experience
we have had ten pastors, as follows: J. R. HUTCHISON, J. M. COCHRAN, W. H. VERNOR, J. W. SEXTON, I. J. DANIEL, J. A. HALL, J. D. WEST, J. W. HAMILTON, J. T. CAUGHLEY and J. R. FINLEY.
The number of members had varied from the original twenty-four to one hundred and sixty-three, and we now have about one hundred and thirty. * * * * * GORDON, SEWALL & Co. -Wholesale
Grocers and Cotton Factors This establishment is a branch of GORDON, SEWALL & Co., having headquarters at Houston, Texas, which is capitalized for $500,000. The business was organized
several years ago as the GORDON-SEWALL Grocery Company, with R. M. GORDON as manager. On the death of Mr. SEWALL of the CARSON SEWALL Grocery Company of Houston, the two companies consolidated
under the name of GORDON, SEWALL & Co. and R. M. GORDON, manager here at that time, had proven so successful in the business that he was made vice president and general manager of the
new firm, with headquarters at Houston. Mr. GORDON lived in Bryan for a number of years, and through his capable management of the company's affairs was instrumental in advancing the
business to its present magnitude. This company maintains the largest wholesale stock of groceries in this section of the State, and also conducts the most extensive business as cotton
factors of any concern in this locality. Mr. HALL, the present efficient manager of the company's Bryan branch, has been in its service for three months, and even during his short term
as manager has displayed remarkable capacity and rare business judgment in his capable supervision of the extensive business of the company in this locality. Prior to coming here, Mr.
HALL had a number of years of practical experience in his line of business with the Nacogdoches Grocery Company, leaving its service to accept his present position. The following capable
employees are valued assistants in the conduct of this company's extensive business: Hugh FOLEY, city salesman, who has been with the company six years; L. Q. HALL, traveling salesman,
who has been with the company a year, and making good; D. E. McKNIGHT, traveling salesman with headquarters in Hearne, who has been with the company three months; J. W. HALL, bookkeeper,
who has been in the service only a few months, a resident of Bryan for three years, and who was formerly
150 bookkeeper for BELL Bros., a large grocery firm of Bryan; Milton FORE, shipping clerk, who has been in the employ of the company for three and a half years. * * * * * Miss Francis
GILLESPIE -Voice Bryan is fortunate in securing as a teacher of voice and instrumental music Miss Francis GILLESPIE of San Antonio. Miss GILLESPIE is a graduate of San Antonio High School,
was for several years a student at the University of Texas at Austin, and finished her education at Chevey Chase College, Washington, D.C. Her musical advantages have been unusually
good, having had as instructors some of the most efficient musicians form the conservatories of Europe. She possesses a beautiful lyric soprano voice, and has studied the mode of artistic
singing under Oscar FOX of San Antonio, Miss Louise PFAEFFLIN of Austin, David ORMEDHER of Dallas, and the famous Clara DREW of Washington, D.C. She has made wonderful progress in her
chosen profession of teaching and is recognized as among the leaders in musical circles. In San San Antonio this talented young lady is a member of the Honorary Music Association, having
been winner of the Hertzberg music medal in that city. Miss GILLESPIE came to Bryan last September, and by her charming personality has formed many warm friendships here. A large class
of both voice and piano pupils is under her guidance, and she is also director of the Allen Academy Glee Club. Coming to Bryan highly recommended for proficiency, by her former instructors,
she has thoroughly proven her sterling worth as a musician, and has won an enviable place in the musical circles of this city. She is also a member of the Bryan-College Repertory Club,
a very select organization, composed only of musicians. * * * * * Father GLEISSNER Father GLEISSNER, priest in charge of St. Joseph's Catholic Church of this city, was born in Bavaria
in 1866 and received his education in Holland, at the University of Style. He came to New York in 1888 to study English, entering the University of Niagara, N. Y. Thereafter, he was
called to Galveston by Bishop GALLAGHER, where on July 11, 1889, he was ordained as priest of the Catholic Church. His first charge was a church near Waco, Texas, where he served efficiently
for seven and a half years, after which he assumed charge of the church at Hearne, where he labored successfully for a like period of time. March 5, 1904, he was placed in charge of
St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Bryan, where he has since ably conducted the affairs of this parish. Through the capable, energetic and effective labors of Father GLEISSNER, the spiritual
and temporal affairs of the church have experienced gratifying improvement in all branches, so that at the present time the roll of its communicants is larger than that of any
151 church in this city. During the period of his ministrations in this city Father GLEISSNER's self-abnegation in devotion to the interests of the church and its adherents has won the
affection and admiration of all, who hope and pray that he may be destined for many years of usefulness in the cause which he has served with such notable distinction. * * * * * Globe
Dry Goods Company One of the notable mercantile houses which enjoys a large share of the trade incident to the present prosperity of the city of Bryan is the Globe Dry Goods Company,
which carries an extensive and modern stock of dry goods, clothing, boots and shoes. Mr. H. BLOCK, the founder and proprietor of the business, is a leading and prominent citizen of Bryan,
while W. L. HOUSTON, with eighteen years experience as a dry goods clerk in Bryan, Miss Bertha SELLERS and Mrs. Ray BLOCK, joint proprietor in the business, give valuable assistance
in handling the growing trade of this successful and prosperous establishment. * * * * * J. F. GRANT GRANT -Lumber and Builders' Supplies Conspicuous among the concerns which as especially
representative of the progressive spirit of the city of Bryan and contiguous territory, is the branch establishment of the GRANT Lumber Company located in this city, established here
in February, 1912. Everything usually carried by modern lumber concerns may be found in this establishment, and is guaranteed to be delivered to purchasers in first-class condition.
A specialty of this firm is all kinds of lumber, doors, blinds, moldings, and accessories. It is always in position to supply the wants of its customers with the best grades of lumber
known to the trade. Before building a dwelling or other structure call on or write the GRANT Lumber Company for estimates and prices, thus insuring the purchase of everything required
at the most reasonable figures procurable for first-class materials. This establishment is one of a series established by the company in the principal cities between Brownsville and
this city, all of which do a prosperous business in handling every thing in the building line. Mr. W. G. McGARR, the capable traveling auditor of the company, is temporary manager of
this branch establishment, having succeeded J. M. WILDER, resigned. Mr. McGARR has been with the company for some time, and is one of its most experienced, capable, and trustworthy employees.
He will remain in charge pending the appointment of a new manager for the concern.
152Mr. W. J. FESPERMAN occupies the responsible position of bookkeeper and office man for the company. He is an efficient and experienced man, who came from Arkansas here about six months
ago to enter the service of the company. Mr. E. C. KELLY, in charge of the yard of this establishment, is an energetic and capable business man who came from Navasota a year ago to enter
the company's service. Mr. T. J. MURRAY, leading drayman for this establishment, is a courteous, affable, and experienced man in his line of work. He was reared in Bryan, and during
his six months service with he company has demonstrated his usefulness as a valuable adjunct to the concern's extensive business. * * * * * Royal Bar -Joe GROGINSKI, Proprietor A creditable
and successful business enterprise of this city is the retail liquor establishment known as the Royal Bar, located in the SMITH building. Here may be found at all time the best and purest
brands of imported and domestic wines, liquors, cigars and bottled and draught beers. This business has been in continuous and successful operation at the same stand for twenty-eight
years. The present proprietor, Mr. Joe GROGINSKI, has successfully conducted the establishment for five years, since he purchased it from the estate of J. L. HEARNE, after the death
of the latter. Mr. GROGINSKI is an excellent citizen and has conducted his business in such a manner as to win the respect and esteem of the citizens of Bryan as a worthy and lawabiding
man. He married here many years ago, and has reared a large family who are worthy members of society, respected by all. Mr. Matt VITOPIL is the popular manager of this establishment,
and is a favorite with his many friends, associates, and patrons of the place. Mr. Frank VITOPIL is also employed as bartender in this establishment. [The following item was transcribed
