The following 1908 excerpts were found in Baylor County Banner issues on a microfilm reel labeled "Baylor County Banner Jan 04, 1907 thru Dec 25, 1908." These articles 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.
An asterisk * indicates that all of the information from the article is included in the notes below. To search for your family name, use your browser's "Find" function.
The 1908 issues seen in this post as well as many other issues from that year, can be viewed at NewspaperArchives. However, you must have a paid subscription. The 1908 issues are not found in the free The Portal to Texas History.
I currently own this microfilm. If you would like to see the actual article, I will take a photo of the microfilmed article. To request this, please comment below this post, or comment on my Facebook page, or send me an email (go to the "About Me" tab at the top of this page).
