BRUSHY
(east of Farmersville, along Brushy Creek)
ON THE WING
Daily Courier Gazette, August
26, 1915
Since writing two weeks ago, have been engaged in teaching
vocal music, attending protracted meetings and having a good time in general. At
Brushy, three miles east of Farmersville, Rev. Umpries of Greenville has
conducted a successful revival under a large tent on the school campus,
resulting in several conversions and some additions to the Baptist church. There
is an effort being made to consolidate the churches of Brushy and New Liberty
and then build a home of worship near the line of division between the two
communities and on land donated by Charley Tatum. The proposition I understand
is meeting with favor and it very likely consolidation will be effected at an
early day.
While attending the protracted services at Brushy, Sunday, the
15 inst. the writer was invited to the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Wisdom where
he got on the outside of a splendid dinner and several contaloupes. [sic] Mr.
Wisdom was formerly constable of Justice Precinct No. Two and established an
enviable record for fearlessness and faithful discharge of duty. He has an even
one hundred acres in cultivation and diversifies to the extent of raising oats,
corn, sorghum, feterita and cotton. Closed a very successful singing school at
New Liberty, three miles northeast of Farmersville Saturday evening the 21st and
on another one here at my old home with an enrollment of forty the first lesson
with others to follow.
While at New Liberty Mr. and Mrs. R. C. McLeod entertained me,
and while here I am the guest of Mr. and A. C. Stroup.
