Find Baylor County Ancestors in the Wichita Daily Times

Today, I saw that 152 issues of the Wichita Daily Times are named as one of the newest collections at The Portal to Texas History (a free site).  These issues are from 1922 and 1924. Baylor County news is often found in Wichita County newspapers. 

I found my Aunt DeRay Bryan attending a "goodbye meeting" for Alma Cockerel at the home of Florence Britton. The surnames of others at the party include Francher, Humphries, Dickson, Tipton, England, Daugherty, and Fox. 

My father's brother, Buster Bryan, attended at B.Y. P. U. Party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Bradshaw. The surnames of those attending along with Buster were Smith, Haggard, Gaither, Lowry, Lee, Howell, Lankford, Toons, Onstott, Siddens, Crouch, Morris, Holcomb, and Nichols.
