Clippings from The Baylor County Banner - Seymour, Texas - September 13, 1923 (Part 1)

My grandparents, Redic E. Bryan and Myrtie Hairston, and my great-grandparents, 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. 

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.  

There was much happening in Baylor County in the news on September 13, 1923. The Cowboy Reunion and Baylor County Fair took up much of the news and school starting resulted in several articles. Photos of buildings in Seymour were also found in this issue. I will post half of the articles and photos found today and more next week. 

Only a portion of this article was copied, but it does give
a nice glimpse of the rodeo.
