13 This issue continues another series on individuals in The Bryan Daily Eagle Business Issue on April 22, 1913. Transcribed by Janis HUNT. Herbert W. REED -Music In answer to numerous
inquiries from prospective pupils, and in response to the solicitation of patrons and friends, Mr. Herbert W. REED, the director of music at Bryan Baptist Academy, announces that he
expects to remain permanently in Bryan. He is now finishing his second year at the academy. His remarkable success is shown by the fact that his enrollment of music pupils this session
is larger than that of any preceding teacher. While critical to a degree, his enthusiasm in his work, and his untiring efforts in the interest of the individual pupil, makes each one
feel that he has their best welfare at heart. Mr. REED was born and reared in Northern Iowa, where he received an education at his home high school and at Cornell College. His piano
work was begun with excellent teachers, and he later had an opportunity to study with Else STERNEDORFF, now a leading teacher and concert pianist of Berlin. Realizing that the ordinary
piano teacher has but scanty equipment for teaching he took a teachers course at the Crosby ADAMS School, Chicago. Mrs. ADAMS is a pupil of LISZT, and a teacher and composer of national
reputation. In voice, he studied at the Chicago Musical College under Mr. Hans SCHROEDER, the eminent German baritone. Later he studied with Dr. Clement B. SHAW, teacher and lecturer
of Chicago, who was for several years soloist at Tremont Temple, Boston. His last work was done with Mr. D. A. CLIPPINGER, author and teacher, director of the Chicago Madrigal Club,
and editor of the Western Musical Herald. In deciding to remain in Bryan, Mr. REED came to the conclusion that there is no small town in the State more interested in the cause of education,
and more enthusiastic in musical culture, or offering a better field for his labors. * * * * * David REID & Co. -Staple and Fancy Groceries An important business house of the city of
Bryan is the staple staple and fancy grocery store of David REID & Co., which has been in business here for one and one-half years. It
14 carries one of the greatest stocks of staple and fancy groceries of any like enterprise in this section of Texas. The firm makes a specialty of the celebrated White Crest flour and
Chase & Sanborn's excellent coffees, unexcelled in purity and quality. In the fresh vegetable department of this store may be found the best vegetables of all kinds, in season. Mr. David
REID came to Bryan from England, being attracted by the wonderful possibilities in this favored locality, as well as by the progress, refinement and intelligence of its citizens. He
is a young man of exceptional attainments, thorough business capacity, and is highly esteemed by the citizens of this city. Mr. REID's capable staff of employees includes the following
names: Mr. L. B. MENDOLA, a capable man of twenty-seven years experience in business; George DEATON, a distinguished young business man, who was born and reared in Bryan, where he has
a host of friends and acquaintances; John GREGG, one of the most efficient and expert bookkeepers in in this part of the State; and John REID, brother of the proprietor, who has recently
arrived here direct from Australia, and is proving one of the most valuable men engaged in the business. The store occupies one of the best and most attractive locations in the city,
and is admirable equipped in its every department for the conduct of its extensive and rapidly augmenting trade. * * * * * Brazos Valley Horse & Mule Barn -REYNOLDS & Co., Proprietors
W. G. REYNOLDS & Co. are extensive dealers in horses, mules, and fancy saddle and harness stock in the city of Bryan. The firm makes a specialty of supplying the best breeds of horses
and mules for all species of service at satisfactory prices and upon short notice. All the stock kept on hand by this establishment are guaranteed to be the best and most reliable procurable
for the work to which they are adapted. Those desiring draught horse, mules for heavy work, or elegant, safe and reliable saddle or harness horses, are assured that this concern is at
all times equipped to satisfactory supply the demand. A high-bred stallion and three jacks will make the present season at the barns of this company. Mr. W. G. REYNOLDS, one of the most
experienced and capable horsemen in the locality, is in charge of the company's business, which gives assurance of prompt and reliable service in the conduct of its business affairs.
* * * * *
15 REYNOLDS & McCULLOCH -Real Estate One of the most reliable and successful real estate firms in the city of Bryan is that of REYNOLDS & McCULLOCH, which makes a specialty of the purchase
and sale of city and county lands. The firm is composed
of W.G. REYNOLDS and W.I. McCULLOCH, each of whom through a life long residence in Brazos County has an intimate practical knowledge of all the lands and land values in this immediate
section of the country. Mr. REYNOLDS has lived in Bryan all his life. He formerly successfully engaged in farming in this county, but has lived in Bryan for several years where he is
well known as a leading, upright and honorable citizen, and a man thoroughly reliable in all his business dealings. Mr. McCULLOCH was born in Brazos County in 1878, and became a resident
of Bryan in 1898. He first engaged in work in a cotton yard in the city, and was later employed by J. W. ENGLISH. He engaged in the grocery business until that business was sold to DANSBY
& DANSBY, when he worked for that firm for seven years. Subsequently with W. S. HIGGS, in which he remained for two years. Thereafter he became manager of the Farmers' Union warehouse,
where he served efficiently for three years, after which he purchased C. E. BULLOCK's grocery business, which he conducted for a year. December 1, 1912, he formed a partnership with
Mr. REYNOLDS, and has been successfully engaged in the real estate business until the present time. Mr. McCULLOCH is one of the most substantial and reliable citizens of this city and
is deservedly popular with all classes of people. Texas Baptist Herald (microfilmed articles) Copied by Bill PAGE, transcribed by Jane HORN (part 1) December 5, 1866 Condensed Correspondence
Bro. W. B. EAVES, of Bryan's Station gives us the following news in a private letter: The brethren in and about this place met yesterday, according to previous notice, for the purpose
of organizing a Baptist church. Sixteen members went in to the organization and some seven or eight more are expected to come in, in in a short time. Bro. J. G. THOMAS and myself formed
the presbytery in the organization. Bryan is building up very fast and we have a tolerably civil place.
16 May 1, 1867, p. 2 Bro. EAVES writes from Bryan's Station: We have a church of about 25 members, and though I have been able to preach but little since it organization yet the congregation,
continues to collect on Saturday before, and the 4th Sabbath in each month. I can count up to 23 more members who have not joined yet. We have the most flattering prospects in this place,
in proportion to the number of inhabitants, that I have witnessed in Texas. All we want is a minister of the sort described in the last copy of the Herald, 'an earnest minister.' Bryan's
Station and Millican opens a fine field of labor for any minister who has the ability and a mind to work. Some of our brethren from the older States could be sustained usefully there,
if they could take hold right. July 10, 1867 For the Baptist Herald The Baptist Church at Bryan city, is now holding a protracted meeting -Three were immersed last Sabbath, and about
ten joined the church by letter. Bro. GEAZER, Bro. HEIDLEBURG and myself, from Pt. Sullivan church, have been here, and two of us nearly two weeks. The meeting still continues. The church
is increasing very fast, and has a fair prospect of building a house of worship right away. In kindness and hospitality I can say "I praise you," and in every thing but one, and I believe
that would be all right, if once it was brought up, that is, to give their devoted Pastor, Eld. W. E. EAVES, a small salary for his labors, to aid, in part, in the support of his family.
But it is a young church, and perhaps they have not yet thought of it. Very Respectfully, S. G. O'BRYAN, July 3rd June 12 1867 Page 3 Bibles! Bibles!! The Harris County Bible Society
has just received a good stock of Bibles and Testaments in various styles and bindings-in English and the German languages. These books may be bought very low, and those unable to buy
may be supplied "without money and without price" November 20, 1867 Bryan City, Sept 13th, 1867. Bro. Link: ---From your last paper I see that Bro. TALIAFERRO has resigned his place
place as assistant editor of the Herald. I deeply regret this. I know something of Bro. TALIAFERRO as a minister of the Gospel. He has been faithful, has labored much doubtless with
little compensation, but I was astonished when he said in his valedictory, that he had received noting as corresponding editor -not that I supposed Bro. BAINES or Bro. LINK had been
sufficiently paid to remunerate him, but certainly those good brethren who have remained at home and read the soul-stirring appeals from his gifted pen and had learned from their Bible
"Owe no man" anything but to love him, I readily supposed such brethren would have looked well after his temporal wants while he toiled week after week for them.
17 Worn out in the service and no more able to travel and preach, with a large family around me and poor as I am, I am willing to be one of twenty to raise one hundred dollars to have
Bro. TALIAFERO continue his articles in the Herald.I feel certain that there would be several twenty's who will unite in such a work. Brethren, for the sake of our children, for the
sake of the cause of Christ, let us _____ by our penuriousness, nor _____ mouths and pens of those noble self-sacrificing men who have conducted our papers for us, in the past. They
have borne hardships, privations, and poverty to carry forward their great work. Where is Bro. LINK tonight while I am writing? In Houston in the midst of the yellow fever toiling for
us while here we are ready to start and leave the place with every report of its appearance. But to the main question, who will join me in enabling Bro. T. to return with his pen to
the columns of the Herald. I do not know whether he will accent, but we can offer, Brethren, shall we act? W. B. EAVES December 18, 1867 Bryan City,. Nov. 25th Bro LINK: I received the
Herald yesterday, and the press of business prevented me from attending to some matters connected with our school interest, but I could not deny myself the inestimable privilege of glancing
over its pages. At the mingled emotions of the moment, God has spared our editor to comfort us, and to "Bring us good tidings of great joy."Bro. S. G. O'BRYAN's name appears to the obituary
of our beloved and promising little Lillie. Your brother is gone; my father is gone -who has not lost friends and relations even since the temporary suspension of the Herald? Our prayer
is, --O Lord, comfort all the bereaved, and give us fortitude and grace to bear up under these to us seeming afflictions; but may they work out for us a far more exceeding and eternal
weight of glory; and may we finally realize that God move in a mysterious way his wonders to perform! The Bryan school will commence the first of December a seven months' session under
the control control of Professor I. N. MAY, who takes the place of Bro. S. G. O'BRYAN. Yours, in Christ, W. B. EAVES December 25, 1867, p.2 Dear Bro. LINK: It will be necessary to change
my field of labor, I regret this very much, but the expenses of living in Houston, with the small pecuniary aid that I could receive there, will not justify my continuance there. The
limited means of the Domestic Board will hardly allow it to extend aid to that point now. I expect ever to remember with the most kindly feelings, the brethren and sisters with who I
have labored in Houston, and I pray that God may strengthen the little church there and soon supply them with an efficient permanent pastor. What field I shall occupy, I know not yet.
I may continue my agency for a time, for the Domestic Mission Board, and do what I can for the Herald. I trust the Lord will guide me. Yours most truly, F. M. LAW, Bryan, Dec 21, 1867
18 January 22, 1868, p.2 Bro. LINK: I have consented to remain and preach our noble and lamented Bro. HILL's funeral at Brenham next Sunday. And I will not leave Bryan City till Monday
night, the 27th of January, and the young ladies and other students who intend returning home with me, will please meet me in Bryan at that time. I am making arrangements with my old
friends Prewett and Holliday, of the Commercial House in Bryan, to take special charge of any young ladies wishing to go to Waco University and secure them a passage on the Daily Line
of stages to Waco. Yours Truly, Rufus C. BURLESON March 4, 1868, p.2 Bro. F. M. LAW, has located at Bryan, the present terminus of the Central Railroad, and has taken the oversight of
the church in that new and enterprising city. During the past year while he labored as a Missionary in Houston, we had opportunity of becoming very intimately acquainted with him. We
remember with unmingled pleasure, the prudence, zeal and fidelity with which he labored here and we are are not alone in such recollections. His service to the cause in this city, cannot
be measured by visible results, though these are not wanting. We have occasion to make a grateful remembrance of the Marion Board for the aid extended to us through him. We anticipate
happy results from his location in Bryan. May the Lord abundantly bless him and prosper his devoted labors for the Master's cause. We take this occasion to say that he is fully authorized
to receive and receipt for money and transact business for the Herald. May 13, 1868, p.2 Eld. W. B. EAVES. --Commendatory At the regular conference of the Bryan Baptist Church, on the
Saturday before the 4th Sabbath in March, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted by the church: Whereas, in the Providence of God, on account of physical inability,
our much esteemed pastor and brother, W. B. EAVES, has tendered his resignation to the church; and the same being accepted, therefore be it resolved, That it is with deep regret that
we as a church are compelled to give up our pastor, to whom more that all others, we as a church owe a debt of gratitude for his indefatigable labors in organizing the Bryan Baptist
Church, and the kind and affectionate manner in which he has discharged his duties as pastor since the organization up to the present time. Resolved, That we are not only due our beloved
pastor a debt of love and gratitude for his labors, but that we will endeavor to raise means to pay him for his services. Resolved, That we recommend our beloved brother to the kind
regard of any community in which his future lot may be cast, hoping to meet him in a better worl than this, around our Father's Throne. Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing preamble
and resolutions be furnished to Bro. LINK, with a request that he publish the same. F. M. LAW, Moderator
19 July 10, 1868, Page 2 Matters at Bryan The Baptists of Bryan are still gathering together. A few months ago very many of them were strangers to each other having moved here rapidly
and from different directions. We held a meeting of near a month this spring, which was very profitable to the church. The members were revived, back-sliders reclaimed and a few, we
trust, converted. Three have been received by baptism, and we are looking for others. We have a very strong Baptist element here, and with a little more system and energy, would have
one of the most efficient churches in the State. Our congregations are large, and as orderly and respectful as I have found anywhere. We use the basement story of the College building
as a place of worship, but it is too small and rather out of the way. The brethren have decided, I believe, to build a house of worship and will probably enter upon the work at once.
The ladies of our church and congregation have organized themselves for usefulness, and are making a very encouraging start in the way of doing good. I wish to refer, however, to this
subject again. Female members ought to be more useful in our churches that they are generally. I am fully persuaded of this. The Bryan sisters are moving in the right direction and good
will come of it. I ought not to fail to mention the reception, recently by the pastor and his family of a raid of good things from the kind hearted ladies of his charge. How grateful
and soul-cheering such expressions! Our Sunday-school is doing finely. In point of numbers and efficiency, we claim to stand in the front ranks. Our indefatigable Superintendent, Col.
S. P. HOLLINGSWORTH, never allows failure on his banner and assisted by faithful teachers, success was a necessity. The school is large and still increasing. Our school -the Bryan College-is
doing well considering that it is only now in its infancy. The first session closes July 3rd. Bro W. C. CRANE is to deliver the literary address on the occasion. It is the intention
of Bro. May, (the President,) and his friends to make the school as good as any in the country. But more anon. F. M. L., Bryan, June 22, 1868 Nov 25, 1868, Page 2 S. S. Board and Depository
For the information of the brethren I will mention that the above Board is doing the best it can with the very limited means in hand. We keep a small stock of S. S. Books, libraries,
question books, tickets, maps, &c., on hand, with a supply of church hymn books, the Psalmist with Supplement, and the Southern Psalmist. These books can be had by addressing Bro. John
E. HOLLINGSWORTH, Bryan. Up to this time the Board has been unable to secure the services of a proper person for General Agent. There is now a prospect I think, of doing this, at an
early day. Those who are indebted to the Board by subscription or otherwise, will please forward the funds to the Treasurer, Dr. J. W. TERRELL, at Anderson; to J. B. LINK, Houston, or
to the undersigned, at Bryan. Nothing has as yet, been realized from the old Depository at Brenham, neither in books nor money. Yours Truly, F. M. LAW,
20 Bryan, Nov. 23 December 21, 1870, p.6 The Brace Dear Brother LINK: --I write to acknowledge the receipt of my brace. It fits me well and I feel a very great benefit from it. I rode
25 miles on Saturday morning to my appointment and preached, and felt but little inconvenience from riding or preaching. I could not have rode so quickly before without the most accute
pain. I feel grateful to the man who originated this Brace, and to you for offering it as a premium; and while the issue of your paper is increased, I am benefited, and those who subscribe
for the paper are benefited, also S. C. ORCHARD December 21, 1870, p.6 Ministers and Deacon's meeting will be held with the Tryon church, twelve miles north east of Bryan, commencing
on Friday before the fifth Lords day in January. It is hoped brethren will attend from all the churches in the district. T. M. LAW April 27, 1869, p.2 Bryan, City, Texas April 16, 1869
Bro. LINK:--The question is often asked where is Z. N. MORRELL? Permit me through your valuable paper to answer it. I am again in Texas, the land of my adoption, in 1835, where I have
spent my time, I need not say how, until the final failure of my health, when in December, 1867, I left for British Honduras, and remained there until April, 1868, after which I returned
and spent about two months, with my health greatly improved. I again returned to Honduras-my lungs restored-but carried with me chronic affection of the kidneys and dropsy in my feet
and legs. The two last affections increased in July last, so, much that my physician, Dr. FOSTER of Toledo, came to the conclusion that my prospects were for a speedy dissolution of
this earthly house, so he advised me to go to Belize, and made arrangements for me there, where I coulb be better cared for than in a frontier settlement. I was not able to prech but
very little. I had written to Bro. F. M. LAW, but had not thought of returning to Texas; I looked upon my race as being well nigh at an end, and think I had learned to say Thy will be
done. I had the kind attention of our highly esteemed Brother Henderson, and many friends. We again received a letter from Bro. LAW, with a donation sent us by him, from the brethren
of the Union Association. It came to hand when I needed it-my thanks are due to the Lord and the brethren. In this letter they invited me affectionately, in as much as I had failed to
get my health, to return, and Bro. LAW insisted on my return, and kindly proposed to lend me the money to pay my expenses home. After prayerful consideration of the subject, and in view
of the fact that I had not been able to put on a shoe or boot for five months. The Book of all Books, came up, and I have believed that Book and tried to practice its precepts although
in a very imperfect way, for near forty-eight years, thus the mind of the Lord is with his people. After quite a struggle, I made
21 up my mind to return, accordingly I came sooner that I expected. The prospect was, that if I did not come immediately, I could not come at all. The good Lord opened the way for me
to come. Although Bro. LAW had not had time to send me a draft, the Captain of the Tradewind, T. T. MORRILL, kindly brought me to New Orleans and loaned me money to aid me in paying
half passage on the Morgan line to Galveston. On my arrival in the city, I visited and spent an hour with Bro. HOWARD. My stock in trade was twenty-five cents in currency and a keepsake
of fifty cents in gold. Bro. HOWARD went out and returned soon, and handed me $35 in currency, and though him and others, my old friend, Captain STERRETT, gave me my passage to Houston,
where Bro. Link handed me some money and got me a free passage on the Central Road. My thanks are due the Lord, and all the parties above named. Permit me say I found Bro. LAW ready
to pay over money by the assistance of Brothers STRIBLING, G. W. GREEN, from Beadias. Also from Sand Prairie, as well as some good brethren and sisters in Brenham; sister Allen and others
from Milam. Now I have made remittance to pay by draft borrowed money left behind. May the Lord prosper and bless all our dear brethren and friends. My health is still improving, but
it is hardly probable I shall ever be able to visit all my brethren any more. They can address me for the present at Bryan, care of F. M. LAW. I will try and write again. Z. N. MORRELL

28 "When I Was 21" -The Bryan Daily
Eagle -November 10, 1926, p. 1 Jess E. HENSARLING "It wouldn't do to tell you what all I was doing when I was 21," smilingly stated Jess E. HENSARLING, proprietor of the Piggly Wiggly
and Self Service Grocery Co. "When I was 21 I was going to business college in Fort Worth," he said. He had left the farm at Steep Hollow when he was 10 years of age. After finishing
business college he came back to Bryan right after the panic of 1907. He hit town dead broke, and bought a suit of clothes from WEBB Bros. on credit to enable him to look for a job.
But he met with little success in looking for employment. He then went down to Rock Prairie and taught a singing school for two weeks. He received $50 for his instructions, and this
sum put him on his feet. He then went to work for WILSON and DERDEN dry goods Company for $40 a month. Later he went to work for John M. LAWRENCE, retail grocery store. After working
there a year he accepted the position of manager of HENSARLING Bros. Grocery Store. In 1916 he bought our Willie WILSON's grocery and went into business for himself. He sold out in 1919
and spent a year in Dallas. Staying away from Brazos county did not go well with him, and in 1920 he returned to Bryan and opened up the Self-Service Grocery Co. In 1925 he introduced
the Piggly Wiggly Store, which now occupies most of his time. Mr. HENSARLING is a self-made man, never having inherited a cent from any source, but has accumulated a competence by hard
work and loyalty to duty. It also can be said of him that he was born and reared in the country, and he has not forgotten his people. He spends his spare time in the rural communities
leading singing conventions and other entertainments for the farmers and their families. He makes it a point to attend all country fairs, and gets a thrill out of seeing his boyhood
friends. He has one of the widest acquaintances in the county. He is delighted with the Piggly Wiggly way of doing business because he sells for cash and has no credit worries. "One
of the secrets to success in business is to get the money for your goods. Then you can figure out where you stand." stated Mr. HENSARLING. Bryan City Cemetery Jesse Earnest HENSARLING

29 "When I Was 21" -The Bryan Daily Eagle -January 10, 1927, p. 1 Will S. HIGGS "When I was 21 I was working in the grocery store of my father, Thos. W. HIGGS, which was located at the
present site of John M. SEBESTA. We used to have a big platform in front of the store where farmers drove up in their wagons and loaded their flour," said Will S. HIGGS, active vice-president
of the State Bank and Trust company, who is one of Bryan's most progressive executives. Mr. HIGGS is a Brazos county product, having been born within four miles of Bryan near the old
SEALE place. His father settled in this section in 1886. Mr. HIGGS attended rural school and afterwards rode to Bryan on horseback to go to high school here. When ALLEN Academy opened
up, he went to school and was graduated there. He later attended HILLS Business College in Waco. "My father wanted me to go to college and get my degree, and I always have regretted
that I did not," he said. At 18 he started to work for his father, Thos. W. HIGGS. After his father's death he and Will MCCULLOCH conducted a grocery store, and in about a year he purchased
Mr. MCCULLOCH's interests. In 1910 Mr. HIGGS made the race for county clerk, holding until the end of 1916. This proved to be valuable training for the banking business for in those
days the county clerk's office handled many criminal and civil matters. In the old days dabbling in politics was almost as dangerous as living in Chicago. When a political confab was
held, which was frequent it was a dull meeting if someone did not have a fight. People took their politics seriously, were firm in their convictions, and took exceptions to the slightest
remarks. Mr. HIGGS admits he enjoyed it but would not want to go through it again. In 1916 he went into the dry goods business with Walter COULTER and Tom SMITH. In 1918 he sold out
to become cashier of the State Bank and Trust company. In about a year he was elevated to the position of active vice-president. Mr. HIGGS says he likes the banking business best of
all. He speaks with pride of the growth and prosperity of Bryan and Brazos county. Although we have had only three good crop years in the past seven, bank deposits in Bryan have increased
almost three-fold. He believes that with a few good agricultural years Bryan will boom. He says that A. and M. College is our brightest gem, and is largely responsible for the success
of practically every business in Bryan. He is one financier who does not think that the automobiles are a curse, but on the other hand are one of mankind's greatest blessings. He says
he is sure of this as he recalls the hardships of the farmer in the old days when he was practically shut off from town, schools, and churches. He adds, however, that automobiles are
often used to ill advantage by many farmers, and that when they should be in the field, they frequently are driving to town on a needless
30 trip. "Show me a farmer who stays on the job and attends to business, and I'll show you a farmer who is not in debt unless for improvements. Let a merchant or any other kind of business
man around run away from his business three or four days in the week, and he will have a failing business. You have to stick on the job in anything you undertake. Thus, you see that
absentee landlords are at a tremendous disadvantage, and cannot hope to make money except in extreme cases. "I believe in diversification. If a farmer grows his own cows, pigs, feed,
and garden, and takes care of his implements, he is not embarrassed by 11 cent cotton. "The country is in far better shape than it was a year ago. Most of the farmers in Brazos county
have barns bursting with feed; in fact, they have plenty of everything except money, and they do not need much of it. It is quite in contrast to a year ago when thousands of dollars
were sent out of here to buy feed. I do not think the farmer needs to be pitied or is in need of legislative help from the government. If he will realize that farming is a competitive
business just as much as banking or the dry goods business, and give his best efforts to making a success he will have little to worry about. "Now you go write up some these old men.
They can give you good stories," he said in conclusion. Bryan City Cemetery William S. HIGGS Born: 03 Apr 1882 Died: 23 Jun 1974 Parents T. W. HIGGS Born: 05 May 1825 Died: 01 Apr 1905

preachers is the amiable Rev. Roy S. HOLLOMON, pastor of the College Avenue Baptist church. He is always doing something special in the way of preparing extra sermons and in trying to
stimulate greater interest in his church. He has the energy of a Billy SUNDAY. When Rev. HOLLOMON was 21 years of age he had just returned from overseas, where he had been with the Twelfth
Engineers. During the year he yielded to the inclination to be a preacher, and entered Baylor University at Waco. While he was a student he became assistant pastor of the Columbus Street
Baptist church in Waco, carrying this work simultaneously with the work of the college. During his twenty-first year
31 he says he also became a member of "that very select organization, the 'married men's association.'" Since his eventful twenty-first year, Reverend HOLLOMON was graduated from Baylor
University in the class of 1923. For a year he was pastor for a number of country churches and then was called to the First Baptist church of McGregor. He came to Bryan last year following
the organization of the College Avenue Baptist church to become its pastor. Reverend HOLLOMON is a Knights Templar Mason. Bryan City Cemetery Roy S. HOLLOMON Born: 02 Aug 1898 Died:

newspapers began to be published throughout the southern states. Among the items published in those papers were notices from former slaves trying to reconnect with family members. While
of obvious value to persons researching Black families, such notices also sometimes provide valuable information about the slave owning families. The following articles were transcribed
from African American Methodist newspapers published in New Orleans. The column containing these advertisements was titled “Lost Friends.” Sally Harvey, concerning her son James who
was owned by Jackson BOBO, who took James from Bastrop to Ellis County, Texas, in 1862, and Mrs. BOBO, took him from there to Millican on Brazos River. Any information may be sent to
