Clippings from The Baylor County Banner - Seymour, Texas - November 1, 1923

Sadly, this is the only photo I took of the 1 November 1923 issue of the Banner. If I didn't
find family information in an issue, I would take a photo of the title and date on the front page 
to confirm that I checked that issue. However, there is part of an article in this issue about  Knight's Garage that may interest others, so I decided to clip and post it. Please know that the issues from 1923 have not been digitized and are available to view in the original paper format at the Texas State Library and Archives in Austin, Texas.

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.  If you want to know more about the families I research, click here to like my Facebook page, where you will see each post and other genealogical finds. 

Note that in the article, old and new photos of the garage can be
found in the previous issue (25 October 1923).
