John H.--DR. JOHN H. WEBB DEAD--A Venable and Noble Christian Gentleman Passed Away Monday. Dr. John H. WEBB died at 6 o'clock Monday afternoon at the house of his daughter, Mrs. Fannie
CALHOUN, at San Antonio, and the sorrowful tidings were flashed over the
125 wires to relatives here shortly afterwards. The announcement is one which will bring sorrow to the whole city, for all men knew and loved the venerable and noble christian gentleman
who has passed away. His death was not unexpected. For many months he has been in feeble health, and his life had been despaired of more than once during the interval. More than four
score years and ten of a busy life marked by good deeds had left their weight upon him, and he laid the burden of mortality down in response to the command of the Master, and went to
give an account of the talents left in his keeping which, in wisdom and consecration, he had increased many fold. Dr. John Henry WEBB, son of S.S. WEBB, was born April 19th, 1821 at
Tally Ho, Granville county, North Carolina. He graduated in the Medical Department of the University of New York, in 1844; practiced in Sumter county, Ala., until 1860, when he moved
to Opelousas, La., and thence to Galveston, Texas, 1864. He was Professor of Materia Medica and Therapeutics in the Galveston Medical College, until he moved about 1870, to Bryan, where
he lived until his removal to San Antonio two years ago. He married, January 19th, 1845, Miss Mary Hadley PARKER. They had ten children six of whom lived to be married. The last three
died in infancy and Lizzie died at five years of age. The children who survive are Mrs. J.W. HOWELL, R.S. WEBB, Jas. H. WEBB, Mrs. M.H. JAMES of Bryan, Mrs. Fannie W. CALHOUN of San
Antonio. Dr. W.H. WEBB, his eldest son, died some years ago at his home in Bryan. The good wife, faithful and loving partner of his life, also survives him, as well as a number of grandchildren,
great grandchildren and other relatives. Dr. WEBB was a life long member of the Methodist church and a devoted Christian who "stood four square to all the winds that blew." He was successful
in the profession of medicine for more than four decades. His life was ever marked by modesty, devotionto his family and to his duty. Honors he never sought at the hands of the public,
but he was loved by all, and deep and sincere were the feelings of regret when he took up his above elsewhere and his kindly face was daily seen no more upon our streets. His was a noble
live, worthy of all emulation, and long will his memory live in the hearts of this people. The everlasting gates have closed behind the faithful soldier home returned, and the sentinel
on the battlements has called "all's well." May 11, 1899, p.7, col.3 Funeral of Dr. WEBB. The remains of Dr. Jno. H. WEBB were brought here from San Antonio Tuesday afternoon accompanied
by Mr. James H. WEBB. The funeral service was conducted by Dr. LAW at the Methodist church, The floral tributes were numerous and very beautiful. As a mark of respect the business houses
of the city were closed during the funeral hour. The procession forming from the church and attendance was very large. The pall bearers were Capt. S.M. DERDEN, A.D. McCONNICO, Dr. J.L.

attending the public school here. With the relatives, friends of
126 the family and her little school friends The Eagle joins in sympathy. June 1, 1899, p.3, col.5 ZUBER, Eva Darthula--Obituary. Eva Darthula ZUBER, eldest daughter of James A. and
Lillie ZUBER, was born March 14, 1890, and died May 5th, 1899. She was taken with inflammatory rheumatism which terminated in dropsy of the heart. No tongue can express the excruciating
suffering she so patiently endured for ten long weeks, the last week of which she begged to go to one of her favorite aunts where she would get well. She took medicine without a word
of complaint, hoping to get well. She had the most utmost care and attention that her fond parents, Aunt Annie, and other relatives, and many other friends could bestow. The writer did
not have the pleasure and privilege of being with her, only a few hours before her death. Just a short while before she died, she bravely said: "I'm dying, goodbye papa, goodbye mama,
kissing them and her little brother and sisters goodbye; death did not seem to frighten her. Still suffering agonizingly for a few hours, when the angel of death flapped its wings and
released her racking frame and bore her sweet spirit over the river to join the heavenly band, where such is the kingdom of heaven. Poem follows by -Aunt Rachel May 11, 1899, p.7, col.4
FOSTER, Llittle Lena --Little Lena FOSTER. Written by her friend Henry CONWAY. The death angel visited the happy home of Mr. and Mrs. W.R.FOSTER, Saturday, April 29, 1899, and claimed

William R. RHODES. While his feeble health for months past presaged that the end of his days was about come, yet his death occurred when least expected after all. Out for a short drive
with his son, Albert, he suddenly expired while within two blocks of home. Mr. RHODES was born April 28, 1823, in Green county, Ala., hence was in his seventy-sixth year at his death.
He came to Texas settling at Huntsville in 1850; came to Bryan in 1869, and has lived here ever since. He was the founder of the CHATHAM Machinery Company, though first starting the

to attend the funeral of Mrs. WHITE. June 29, 1899, p.4, col.4 WHITE, Mrs. M.A.--Obituary. Death visited the home of Mr. J.A.D. ROBINSON on May 30th, at 5 a.m., and claimed for his victim
Mrs. M.A. WHITE, aged 64 years 5 months and 15 days. She had been failing in health for more than a year and a severe case of measles proved more than she could stand. Her death was
a great shock to her friends as only a few knew that she was sick. One of the longest processions processions ever seen in this neighborhood followed her to her last resting place, where
she was laid to rest in Wixon graveyard amid the tears of her many relatives and friends. A devoted christian and a dear friend has been called to answer the summons we will all have
to answer some day, and it is a blessed assurance to us that she was prepared and ready to go. The writer has know her for a number of years and can truly say that she was a lovely lady,
always willing to give up her own pleasure to help others; always patient, even in the severest affliction; always looking for the good in others and trying to pass over their faults.
Those who were sick or in trouble always turned to her for help and comfort. She has been known to walk through the coldest weather to wait on the sick if she thought she was needed.
A kinder, sweeter lady than she was would indeed be hard to find. Aunt Matt, as she was commonly called, was loved and respected by young and old, and may can testify to the warm affection
and kind advice which she so unconsciously bestowed upon those around her. Her life was one that anybody might well be proud to own, and the noble example of this christian lady will
go with us through life even to the grave. There is many a sad heart in the neighborhood and many a tear has fallen over the black marked notice that announced her death. Never again
will Aunt Matt's bright thoughts and loving words fall like sunbeams across our paths of life to cheer and interest us. So may the influence of heart and mind shine out like a light
into the world to cheer and comfort those with which it comes in contact, and so did the influence of this lady's bright earnest mind and christian spirit come in touch with our lives
and gained her a place in our hearts that can never be filled by another; she shall still hold it and her memory shall be a bright and lasting one. To the bereaved family we extend our
deepest sympathy--all the more deep and tender because we feel we have a share in their sorrow. I think if they could know how wide her influence had reached, and could see the love
and sorrow in the hearts of her friends, they
130 would be comforted and feel she had not lived in vain. It seems sad that she should be taken from us suddenly, but her work was done, the purpose for which her life was given was
accomplished, and God knows best and doeth all things well, and though we shall never meet her again in this life let us look forward to meeting our dear friend in the bright realms
above where there shall be no more parting and sorrow, and where God shall wipe away all tears. Marlin, Texas, June 8, 1899 A Friend June 8, 1899, p.1, col. 4 STATELER, L.--Mr. L. STATELER,
76 years of age, died at his home here Tuesday morning and the remains were shipped north by the noon train for interment at Greenville, his former home. Mr. STATELER was born in Ohio,
but had lived in Texas twenty-eight years. He came to Bryan a year ago, and with members of his family has made his home since. He was sick only about ten days. Mr. STATELER leaves six
children and a number of grandchildren, among the former being Mr. S.D. STATELER of this city. Two daughters, Mrs. Noah HAMLIN of Greenville, and Mrs. Laura LANGFORD of Cleburne, who
were here attending their father at the time of his death, returned home yesterday accompanying the remains. Mr. STATELER was a member of the Christian church. His wife died three years
ago. The family has the sympathy of the community in the expression of which the Eagle joins. June 8, 1899, p.7, col.2 Town and County. Wednesday. The family of Mr. L. STATELER request
The Eagle to express their thanks to friends and neighbors for kindnesses shown during the illness of Mr. STATELER. June 8, 1899, p.7, col.2 DIXON, Mrs. G.R.--Town and County. Wednesday.
Mrs. G.R.DIXON of Green's Prairie, died suddenly last Tuesday, her death supposed to be from heart disease. Her loss was a sad blow to her family, she being in the prime of life, only
about 25 years old. The Eagle extends sincere sympathy. June 29, 1899, p.4, col.4 DIXON, Mrs. Ellen Nora PARSON--Obituary. Miss Ellen Nora PARSON was born July 17, 1868, in Mississippi
and was married to G.R. DIXON in Brazos county, Texas, August 30, 1883. To this union was born seven children, six of whom are still living. Her death occurred on May 30, 1899, which
was a shock because of its suddenness, as Mr. DIXON left her appearing to be doing well, he went to work and in less than an hour his little boy brought the news of her death. She died
of heart failure. As a companion she was ever true and faithful. As a mother she was kind and good. As a neighbor she was ready and obliging and was ever at her place in time of need.
She professed religion and joined the Baptist church five or six years ago, and as far as known she lived and died in the faith and has gone to Heaven. To the relatives we would say,
weep not as those who have no hope. While a dear companion, a precious mother, a
131 good and kind neighbor and a loving friend has gone from our midst, we should not weep for she is not far distant, a few more days, months or years and we shall see her again. She
is only sleeping, soon to be awakened. With tears in our eyes and with sad hearts we say farewell, until we meet again no more to part. Peace to her memory. A Friend June 8, 1899, p.3,

AND HER BODY BURNED, LARGE PROPERTY LOSS. ANDREW DOZIER CONFESSED IN THE PRESENCE OF SHERIFF NUNN AND OTHERS. About 12 o'clock Sunday night an alarm of fire was given and those who responded
found the flames rapidly destroying the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. Allen MYERS. The fire originated in the servant's room at the back of the house and was under good headway when the
alarm was given. Mr. MYERS and family barely had time to escape the flames gained so rapidly, and some of the family might have been burned had they not been awakened by Mr. Seth MOORING.
Those who responded to the alarm busied themselves with saving such furniture and household effects as they could, but most of these were lost, including the library, silverware, jewelry,
clothing and many articles that cannot be replaced. The firemen responded promptly, but the absence of any water mains or plugs in that part of the town was a fatal drawback to their
efforts, and the building soon burned to the ground. The intense heat communicated the fire to Mr. MYERS' new two story residence adjoining. It caught on the roof and was soon a mass
of raging flames which shot straight upward towards the zenith of the midnight sky through the motionless air with a glare that lit up the entire vicinity. The new house was just ready
for occupancy. After an hour or two of work yesterday the contractor, Mr. I.H. NEWTON, would have finished it and the family expected to move in Monday afternoon, having already placed
new furniture in some of the rooms. A part of this with some of the mantel pieces, windows and blinds was saved before the heat became so intense that the crowd had to abandon the work.
Mr. MYERS had $1750 insurance on his old house and
furniture and says his loss will aggregate several thousand dollars. The loss on the new house was about $3500 with five or six hundred on the contents. Mr. I.H. NEWTON, the contractor,
had $3000 insurance on this building. NEGRO WOMAN BURNED--The most horrible part of the story still remains to be told. When the flames and the excitement had subsided somewhat and the
crowd had subsided, it was found that Annie BRIGANCE, the colored cook, who occupied the servants' room where the fire started was missing. A search was made and her body was soon discovered
burning to a crisp in the midst of the fire where her room had been. The ghastliness of the situation was not fully apparent until revealed by the daylight of the morning, when those
who again visited the scene saw the remains of a woman lying on the right breast and side, with the left arm resting on the elbow and the hand burned off. The
133 head was raised in the attitude of looking, caused by contraction from the heat. The right arm and lower limbs were nearly burned off and the whole body was blackened and disfigured
almost beyond recognition as the remains of a human form. All about the charred remains and even on the back of the body were the remnants of burned bed clothes, ashes of straw from
the mattress, etc., indicating that the body had been enveloped in a quantity of inflammable material. A hatchet was found near the spot and County Physician Dr. R.H. HARRISON, who was
called to examine the body, found the skull mashed above or near the right temple. The suspicion of foul play was so strong, meanwhile that a negro found on the scene after excitement
of the fire abated was arrested and lodged in jail. The negro's name is Andrew DOZIER. THE CONFESSION. Monday afternoon in the presence of Sheriff NUNN, District Clerk J.W. BATTS, J.A.
MYERS and others, DOZIER confessed to the killing of the woman and the effort to burn the body to conceal his crime. He was warned that his confession could be used against him, nevertheless
he made a clean breast of the awful affair. He said Sunday night he found another man with the woman and ran him off, after which he and the woman quarreled and she made a motion as
if to get a stick of wood to strike him when he struck her with the hatchet. He said he did not intend to kill her but struck her harder than he intended to, and when he found he had
killed her, he threw the mattress and bed clothes over the body on the floor, poured oil from the lamp upon them and set them on fire. He then came down to the depot, but subsequently
returned to the fire where he helped in the effort to save things and was later arrested. The negro, subsequently reiterated his confession in the presence of Judge HUDSON who went to
the jail later with Mr. MYERS. Judge HUDSON stated to the Eagle reporter that the negro said he found the hatchet in the room and left it there. The subsequent finding of the hatchet,
mentioned above above corroborates the confession. Justice CLOSS viewed the body of the woman yesterday morning but action on the case was deferred until today owing to the absence of
County Attorney GAINER. IN JUSTICE COURT. Some Cases at Wellborn and Millican. County Attorney Chas. S. GAINER returned Tuesday from attending justice court at Wellborn and Millican
and gave the Eagle reporter the facts regarding cases appearing below. In Justice POOLE's court at Millican Monday morning a negro plead guilty in a pistol case and was fined $15 and
costs. A Mexican, charged with carrying a dirk and disturbing public worship, made his escape before the trial was held and had not been recaptured so far as Mr. GAINER knew. Will JONES,
one of the defendants in the Glen McCORQUODALE shooting case, but not the one Mr. GAINER says, who shot Glen McCORQUODALE, surrendered to the authorities at Wellborn yesterday and his
examining trail was held before Justice JONES of that place, resulting in the negro being admitted to bail in the sum of $500 which he gave. The other defendant in the case had not surrendered
or been captured so far as Mr. GAINER knew. LATER--The other defendant in the McCORQUODALE case was brought here yesterday afternoon and landed in jail by Sheriff NUNN. He gave the name
of Walter JENKINS to Jail Deputy GEE and is charged with assault to murder. He was asleep under a tree with a pistol lying beside him when captured by Sheriff NUNN and Constable
134 FAQUHAR. THE DOZIER CASE--Mr. GAINER said his first information of the tragedy enacted here Sunday night was received from a copy of the Morning Eagle at Millican Tuesday morning,
and says the examining trial will probably not be held until Saturday. Formal indictment for murder was made against Andrew DOZIER yesterday, and the county attorney says another for
arson will also be made. June 22, 1899, p.3, col.1 MONTGOMERY, Mrs.--County News. From Clear Creek. We are sorry to learn of the death of mrs. MONTGOMERY at Concord. June 22, 1899, p.7,

Its Walls Transcribed by Allen DEAN Dallas Morning News -December 22, 1891 Bryan, Tex., Dec. 19 -To The News: Early in the seventies the courthouse of Brazos county, which is now undergoing
demolition, was completed. It was constructed of a soft quality of brick, and has for a long time been considered unsafe. When first built it was considered quite an ornament to the
city, and for those times no doubt it compared favorably with the best courthouses in the state. At that time Bryan was the terminus of the Houston and Texas Central, and being the center
of a large trade was in population, wealth and enterprise one of the first cities of the state. Here a great commerce was transacted, and this old courthouse was the arena of many a
fierce legal battle. The local bar at that
135 time, and for a number of years afterward, was among the ablest in the state. DAVIS and BEALL, now of El Paso, and the late Judge BRODDUS were then the leaders, but pressing close
upon their heels were a number of younger men who have since attained prominence. Here came at times SAYLES, BASSETT and GIDDINGS of Brenham, HERRING and ANDERSON of Waco and Charles
STUART of Houston. And later came George CLARK, Hannibal BOONE, J. C. HUTCHESON, Seth SHEPPARD and a number of other lawyers who have since become famous. Here on one occasion came all
the way from Tennessee a young man, Colonel WASHINGTON, now a judge of one of her courts to defend a client charged with murder, and against whom the tide of public sentiment was very
strong. Yet before he was half through speaking he had cleared his client, for his eloquence was of that transcendent character that swept everything before it. In times some celebrated
cases have been tried here, and those old walls have resounded to some classic eloquence, arguments clear and logical, have convinced courts, while juries have been swayed by impassioned
appeals; and no doubt many a criminal has gone hence unwhipped of justice. Indeed there have been times when the people have become aroused at the too frequent escape of criminals and
have taken the law in their own hands. On this plaza, at the jail door, hard by, the mob took COOK, who killed Policeman YARMER, from the sheriff, and after riddling him with bullets,
hung him till he was dead. But this was in the long ago. Here, too, the political clans were wont to gather. Jack HAMILTON and E. J. DAVIS spoke in reconstruction times. Later, from
the judge's stand, Colonel MILLS rendered his eloquent and terrible phillipie on the corrupt administration of President GRANT, and still later THROCKMORTON crossed swords with Colonel
BRADY, and so completely did him up that the memory of the event will linger long after both have passed away. Here also in the olden time gathered the elite of the city, who "tipped
the light fantastic toe to the lascivious pleadings of the lute." But those days are passed, for Bryan long since has had an elegant hall for that purpose. And here sometimes, for lack
of a church, the preachers held forth to listening sinners and one memorial occasion is recalled in which a leading preacher of one of the churches challenged any one to debate on orthodoxy,
and particularly the orthodoxy of his church. His challenge went for a long time unaccepted, until finally a hog buyer from one of the northern states, who was sojourning here at the
time, accepted, and such a debate as these men had! It was veritably a war of biblical giants; but the outsiders said the hogman got the best of it. During the twenty odd years this
building has stood four judges have graced the bench. First came .Judge OWENS who was appointed by Governor DAVIS, and held a term of four years. After his term of office expired the
judge retired from the law altogether and has since been conducting very successfully a female school at Sherman. After him came the venerable Judge BROADDUS, who died last summer at
his home in Burleson county.
136 When he had finished one term Spencer FORD, now a leading lawyer of Bryan, was elected and held the office for one or two terms. Then came W. E. COLLARD, now on the court of commissions
bench, and after his appointment to that place Judge J. N. HENDERSON, the present incumbent, was elected. So this old building has undergone a varied and interesting experience. It has
seen Texas expand from a population of 250,000 to over two millions. While it has seen no cities decay, it has seen many born into existence and grow great. Then the Texas Central terminated
here, one of the five or six railroads in the state, and wagons from Dallas, Sherman and Waco, then small villages, were daily visitors on the streets of Bryan. Now the Texas Central
has traversed the state, and railroads in Texas are counted by the score, and carry the commerce of a mighty empire to the marts of the world, and with the tread of events the administration
of justice has been greatly improved. Where formerly there was a spirit of desperadoism, peace and good order now reign supreme. If this old pile of brick and mortar could speak it could
unfold a volume of history. It could tell of causes lost and won, of success and defeat. It could speak of bitter pangs and of pleasant memories, and it could recount the most flourishing
period in the history of Texas; the marvelous growth of a wonderful people. But it is now a thing of the past--a reminiscence. The old clock has rung out its last note of time from the
tower, and the old walls have crumbled to the hammer of the workman. And in its place will soon be reared a new and stately structure, one more in keeping with the demands of the present;
a building, it is to be hoped, which will be "a thing of beauty and a joy forever." Selected Records from the Texas “Republic Claims Series,” 1836-1878 part 1 by Bill PAGE The Republic
Claims series from the Texas Comptroller's office includes claims submitted by citizens to the Republic of Texas government from 1835 through 1846. It also includes records records relating
to Republic pensions and claims against the Republic submitted after 1846. Some records date from the 1870s or even later. The files include supporting documents such as vouchers, financial
accounts, military records, receipts, or letters. The Texas State Library and Archives has digitized these records and made them available on the internet. See its website at:

144Hammett HARDY Clerk District Court Brazos Co. by David McINTOSH, deputy Some People Were Intelligent and Moral: Brazos County in the News, 1837-1860 compiled by Bill PAGE Brazos County
researchers are fortunate that the county has never had a courthouse fire, so the county records are fairly complete even for the earliest years. However, even though the official records
are a rich source of information, there are many cases where more information is needed. Newspapers are one of the first unofficial sources genealogists think about when beginning research
on an area. Unfortunately, the first
Brazos County newspaper was not published until the late 1860s; worse yet, few issues of any local newspaper survive until 1889. However, scattered references concerning this county
appear in newspapers published elsewhere. Locating those articles has been difficult, not only because so many early newspapers are not indexed, but also because no one library contains
a copies of all surviving Texas papers for the years years prior to the Civil War. This work collects as many articles concerning early Brazos County as the author could find. There
are fewer articles than one might have hoped, but that Brazos County was mentioned at all is somewhat surprising, for it was a small county, isolated between two rivers. In 1850 there
were only 614 people living here. By 1860 that number had risen to 3,096, but by any measure, the county was still sparsely settled. Many of the items contained in this work are legal
notices. Texas law mandated that certain court proceedings be advertised in newspapers; if no newspaper were published in a given county, then such notices had to be placed in a paper
published nearby. In the 1840s, "nearby" could be as far away as Houston. Most of the legal notices for Brazos County were estray notices. Texas laws regulated the handling of any stray
"horse, mare, colt, mule, jack, or jenny," as well as "cattle, hogs, sheep, or goats." Persons finding stray animals had to appear before a justice of the peace, had to have two disinterested
persons appraise the animal, and had to publish a notice describing the animal. If no one claimed the animal within 12 months, then the person who found the animal could claim it. The
prevalence of estray notices reflects the fact that for all of this time period Brazos County was an agrarian county, with no communities of any size and few businesses, churches or
schools.
145 Other legal notices concern the probating of estates, advertisements concerning runaway slaves, and divorce proceedings. Other stories included political news, as well as a scattering
of obituaries, especially those concerning Baptists in the late 1850s. Other topics of interest included ongoing efforts to navigate the Brazos River and progress on building the Houston
and Texas Central Railroad. There is some hope that continuing efforts to microfilm and digitize early newspapers will lead to the discovery of additional articles concerning Brazos
County, but for now, the author presents this work for the reader's use, flawed and incomplete though it may be. Newspaper Articles 1837: March -"… We camped on the ground now occupied
by the city of Bryan … Look out now, through the window, as the wheels of thunder underneath you are rolling over that magnificent bridge, that spans with its mighty arms the Navasota
River, and take a look at my craft, crossing about one hundred yards above. The stream was very high, nearly level with the banks; water in the bottom almost swimming, before we reached
it. We were soon through this, and on the bank of the main channel … I now cried at the top of my voice, to gain the attention of the man who, I was informed, lived on the hill on the
south side. An answer was returned, and the man in quick time stood on the bank. "What will you have, sir?" -"I want a man to tie a rawhide lariat round that stump near where you stand,
and the other end and an inch-auger brought to me, and all the assistance necessary to enable me to get my wagon and team over." Five dollars was announced as the price for which he
would undertake, and the trade was closed. The end of the lariat and the inch-auger were soon brought over. At great peril, logs were cut of proper length, hauled up, and fastened securely
together. On this little craft my son and I placed our camp equipage, and pulled across the river by the lariat, fastened on each bank. The man left behind then loosed his end of the
rope, and, after tying the bed of the wagon fast to the wheels, tied it to the end of the tongue. The wagon was pulled over, and the team swam. By this time our contractor, one of the
best swimmers I ever saw, was on the home side and ready for another contract. He then engaged to dig a canoe, by our return, for five dollars more. Here was ten dollars for crossing
the Navasota River twice, with great labor and peril. All this was done inside of three hours ... [they then went to Houston and returned] … "Reaching Navasota, we found the canoe ready,
according to contract, and paid five dollars for it; also five dollars additional were paid to the same man for assistance rendered in getting wagon, team and cargo across the river.
Here, you will remember, fifteen dollars have been paid for ferriage, going and coming, over one stream …" MORRELL, Z.N., Flowers and Fruits in the Wilderness, 1872, third edition, revised,

short and thick, brow high, hair mixed with grey, complexion common; he has a scar over the right eye
146about three inches long, caused by a blow with a stick from a mulatto; a little impediment in his speech; states that he has now none of the clothes he wore when starting, which may
have been in the latter part of May. Washington County, Sept. 10, 1837 Telegraph and Texas Register (Houston), 30 Sept. 1837, p.3 1840-1843: "Boating on the Brazos," Dallas Morning News,
12 February 1893, p.14. "… My father moved to Texas and settled on the banks of the Brazos River in 1840, just above the town of Washington. Just previous to this time there had been
one of the greatest overflows of the river that had ever been known. The water extended from the town of Washington to Ringold's prairie, near the present city limits of Navasota … After
this rise for a succession of years the country was very drouthy. It was very hard to raise a crop. We had to plant corn in January in order to catch the very limited rains, which rarely
ever wet the ground more than two inches; in fact this was considered a fine rain. In consequence of this drouthy condition the river got to be very low. It looked for a time that it
would stop running. In 1840 or 1841 Mr. Tillotson WOOD, now living at Hempstead, and myself rode from Washington to Hidalgo Falls, some seven miles by land, and perhaps double that distance
by the river, along the bed of the river, never once having to leave it, but crossing from the point of one sand bar to the other. In some places it looked as if a ten foot rail would
reach across the water. In 1842 or 1843 the second great rise came, but I do not think the water was quite so high as the previous one, although it extended from the bluff at Washington
to near where now stands the city of Navasota. This was a peculiar rise, in as much that there had been no rain up the river so far as we knew. The rise came suddenly and unexpectedly
late in June. After the river had left its banks and spread over its bottoms it rose steadily from one-half to three inches daily, and that, too, under a bright and cloudless sky. This
regular daily rise continued two or three weeks, without intermission, and was attributed by the knowing ones to the melting of snow near the sources of the river … There have been numerous
floods since but none so great, according to my knowledge, as that of 1842. Of course, they have been much more destructive, " The Grotto from the pages of Bryan Eagle Regina OPERSTENY,
transcriber The grotto that graced the Villa Maria Convent in Bryan from 1910 to 1929 is now
147 located in the quiet little town of Vanderpool, Texas, the third location. The original grotto and statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary was at The Villa Maria Ursuline Academy and then
at St. Joseph's Church in Bryan. Some of the original petrified wood was used to rebuild another grotto in the Utopia -Vanderpool area. The Academy came to Bryan in 1901 as a result
of the 1900 hurricane that destroyed Galveston and the Convent. Fifty acres located on a slight hill called St. Ursula's Hill was purchased by the sisters. A magnificent building was
erected with a promising future in the education of young girls. In 1910, the Ursuline nuns honored the Blessed Virgin Mary with a shrine that was a replica of the Grotto of Lourdes,
France. The grotto or shrine was made of petrified wood found in the Bryan area. A life size statue of Mary that was ordered from Lyon, France, was the main focus. Slightly below the
Blessed Mothers statue and among the rocks, was a smaller statue of a young peasant girl. The girl was kneeling with her hands folded praying to Mary. A small stream of water could be
heard trickling among the rocks. The small statue was that of a peasant girl, Bernadette SOUBIROUS. In 1858, The Virgin Mary appeared to the peasant girl in Lourdes, France. Mary repeatedly
revealed herself to the girl, asking that a chapel be built at that site. She then urged Bernadette to dig into the soil. Spring water started to flow. That spring is still flowing at
Lourdes where many people go for baths in the curative waters. When the Academy was sold in 1929, the grotto was razed. Using the same petrified wood, a second grotto was constructed
on the grounds of St. Joseph Parish in Bryan. The statue of Mary and also Bernadette was moved to the grounds of St. Joseph's Church. The grotto remained there until 1955 when it was
necessary to dismantle it again to build a new St. Joseph's School. At St. Joseph's, the grotto was almost identical to the one at the Academy. The same statue was used of Mary and also
Bernadette SOUBIROUS. The stream of water flowing among the rocks was a reminder of the stream at Lourdes. The grotto was an attraction to the students at St. Joseph's School. During
the month of May, which is dedicated to the Blessed Mother, the students prayed the rosary after lunch, led by the Nuns, and sang songs to Mary. Many other events took place around the
grotto. When the grotto had to be moved from St. Joseph's, the statue of Mary was stored at the Church. Today, the statue rests in a carport at the church. Nothing is known of the statue
of Bernadette. Mr. J. F. MERKA, a parishioner of St. Joseph's, stored the petrified wood at his farm on Leonard Road in Bryan. For the next 25 years, the rocks served no purpose on the
farm until Mr. MERKA's daughter envisioned another grotto made of some of the same petrified wood. Ms. Frances Merka McNAIR, the daughter of Joe and Anna MERKA lived in Utopia, Texas.
As she visited her parents in Bryan, she took back sufficient rocks to have a small grotto constructed at her church. church. The grotto was built at St. Mary's Catholic Church in
148 Vanderpool, Texas in 1984. Frances McNAIR donated the wood and construction of the grotto as a special project of the MERKA family. The grotto contains a twenty-four inch statue
of "Our Lady of Grace". Frances McNAIR was a faithful member of St. Mary's in Vanderpool. She was respected and known throughout her church and community as a generous hardworking lady.
Several years after completion of the grotto, she died tragically. The grotto remains at her church in her memory. E.F. Carter, Bryan Grocery Store Clerk Ray GEORGE, abstracter Bryan,
Texas, April 14 --Mr. E. F. CARTER, a grocery store clerk, committed suicide yesterday by shooting himself. His wife found him in bed with the pistol still in his hand. The wife and
two children mourn his passing. The Dallas Morning News, 15 April 1891, page 1. Brazos County Hispanics: World War I Draft Registration Records by Bill PAGE The World War I draft registration
records are a goldmine for genealogists and historians, providing biographical data on most draft aged men living in the United States, whether or not they were citizens. By consulting
the records for Brazos County, I identified 225 Hispanic men living in Brazos County. Further research might add a few names to that total. Looking at those records as a group provided
a number of insights. Although I chose to examine Hispanics, you could do the same thing for any other ethnic group. The draft records, taken in 1917 and 1918, showed: 85% of the persons
indicated Mexico as their place of birth. Many records show a state or city in Mexico, so some additional analysis could be done there. Another 5% showed Texas. The most common birthplace
within Texas was Laredo, in Webb County. 7% did not list a place of birth. Two people were born in Spain, and one each in Peru and Puerto Rico. The last four people all were affiliated
with Texas A&M. The two Spanish men were working in
149 Sbisa dining hall at Texas A&M, and perhaps were relatives of Mrs. SBISA, who was a native of Spain? The man from Puerto Rico worked for the USDA, and the person from Peru was a
student at Texas A&M. Occupation: 45% -agriculture (101) farmer or farm laborer (82) cotton picker (19) 30% -railroad (72) 12% -Sbisa (27) waiter (23) cook (1) dishwasher (1) mess hall
(1) bakers helper (1) 9% -laborer (20) Residence OR place worked 20%-Bryan (46) 15% -College Station (34) 13% -Wellborn (33) 10% -Cawthon (22) 9% -Dinkins (21) 8% -Stone City (18) 6%
-Allenfarm (13) 6% -Millican (13) 4% -Steele’s Store (9) 4% -Navasota (8) 4% -Wheelock (8) If you group “close” places together, you get: 30% -Cawthon, Dinkins, Allenfarm, Millican 20%
-Bryan 15% -College Station 13% -Wellborn 12% -Steele’s Store, Stone City 4% -Navasota 4% -Wheelock Researchers should check the original records for any men of interest. The actual
records frequently list the names of next of kin, sometimes the number of children a man has, and often the name of his employer.
