Hi, Michelle: It's been ages since we've talked. I've found a few more items that might be of interest to you, if you haven't seen them already? Brazos County Death Certificate for: McCalem, Matilda – resident of College Station; occupation farmer; widow; 58 years old; died 16 October 1918; buried Washington Chapel [Washington Chapel Cemetery, also known as Salem Cemetery, is now part of the College Station city cemetery] The 1900 Brazos County census lists her as the wife of Alex McKellam. "Lincoln High 4-H'ers Elect New Officers," Bryan Daily Eagle, 18 September 1958, p.11, col.3. “ Clinton Robinson was elected president of the Lincoln High School 4-H club at a meeting Wednesday. Other officers elected during the meeting were Jimmy Banks, vice president, Dorothy M. Rooks, secretary, Imogene McKellom, reporter and Betty Jo Wilborn, song leader (article continues) .” Bryan & College Station, Texas Modern City Directory, 1937. Lists: McKellon, Luther, porter Lipscomb Pharmacy, residence College Station * I think I sent you just the reference to this before, not what it actually said? “Bryan Briefs,” Houston Informer, 28 May 1932, p.5, col.1. “Mrs. Roberta Reddan of College Station died Wednesday, May 12. The funeral was conducted from Roan Chapel and remains deposited in the above cemetery, Rev. Jackson officiating. She leaves a mother, several sisters and brothers to mourn her death. Lonnie Jaskon of Houston, her brother, attended the funeral.” * I probably sent you some (or all) of these, but just in case ... “Two Negroes Dead, Two are Wounded, at Reddin Supper,” Bryan Daily Eagle, 3 September 1917, p.3, col.3. Charles Peddeford and Simon Reddin were killed. Bryan Deputy Sheriff J.D. Conlee arrived this morning from Denison, bringing with him A.B. Holmes, a Negro, wanted in Brazos County on a charge of assault with attempt to murder, alleged to have been committed on another Negro, Lige Redding, near Harvey some time ago. Holmes appeared before Justice McGee this morning and was allowed bond in the sum of $250. Dallas Morning News, January 25, 1907, p.13 * I hope the new year is treating you well. Bill
