Family notes from the Baylor County Banner, Baylor County, Texas - 1905

The following 1905 excerpts were found in four Baylor County Banner issues on a reel of microfilm labeled "Baylor County Banner misc scrapbook 1905 thru 1929." The newspaper issues were in small pieces and missing pages. The few marriages, births, and deaths were recorded on my web pages almost twenty years ago. 

Those web pages have not been updated since about 2012 but can still be found at my Rootsweb Freepages site. However, Ancestry, who now owns Rootsweb, is retiring the pages in 2024, and when returned, they will be static (I will not be able to make changes). In case the pages get lost, I am adding the content to this blog.

More complete copies of these issues can be found at The Portal to Texas History.
