Clippings from The Baylor County Banner - Seymour, Texas - January 26, 1926


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 permitting me to post these clippings.  







Grandma Skinner was Clarinda Flora “Clara” Jones Skinner. She was the daughter of Milton Jones and Rhoda Lessenbee of Johnson County, Illinois. Her husband was Esau Skinner, who was killed in Throckmorton in 1894

    Thank you for the clipping of the Telete Fancher Terry obituary. Telete was my grandmother's (Myrtle Holmes Malone) niece. Telete's mother was Ollie Holmes Fancher. I believe my grandmother said the cause of death was a kidney infection..an antibiotic could have saved her but was not in existence then. So very sad.

    1. Yes, it was so sad - she was so young. Thank you for reading my blog. I have a photo of the obituary as it was in the paper (I had to cut and adjust it to add it to the blog). If you would like a copy of the photo, send me an email (see the "About Me" page for my email).
