Clippings from The Baylor County Banner - Seymour, Texas - September 13, 1923 (Part 2)

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.  

My father was three years old when his sister, DeRay Bryan, began her first teaching job in Seymour. She taught previously in Corn and would go on to teach in Amhurst and in Borger where she would teach until 1941. 

If this clipping is too hard to read, send me an email from the "About Me" tab and I will send you the original photo. 

Willie Mae Bryan, later Willa Mae, was
my father's sister. She was 13 years old 
when attending this social.
