Clippings from The Baylor County Banner - Seymour, Texas - January 18, 1923

My grandparents, Redic E. Bryan and Myrtie Hairston, and my great-grandparent's, Phillip A. Hairston and Lodema Criswell, moved to Baylor County in 1905. My father, Whit Criswell Bryan, was born in Seymour in 1920. He was the youngest of seven children born to Redic and Myrtie. Redic and Myrtie died in the 1920s and my father moved, along with his sisters, to Borger, Texas. 

In April 2019, I visited the Texas State Library and Archives to read Baylor County Banner issues that could not be found online or on microfilm. I photographed articles with information about my father's family who lived in Seymour. While sorting through my family finds, I realized I had photos of articles that might interest others looking for family. I have pictures of numerous articles from 1923 and a few from other years. I will post as time allows. 

Thank you to Matt Gwinn at the Baylor County Banner for giving me permission to post these clippings.  

Willie Mae Bryan (later changed to Willa Mae) and 
Buster Bryan (Hairston Albritton Bryan) are my father's siblings. 

This is not my Bryan family. However, if you are related to
my Thompson/Gleghorn cousins, you might have a connection 
to this Bryan family. More about this family in the next two clippings.
