Weekly Democrat Gazette, January 30,
1913
Personal Mention of People
You Know by Our Field Man.
Owing to the
inclement weather last Monday we did not venture out until Tuesday morning.
While en route to Wylie we stopped on the way long enough to do a little
missionary work among the non-readers of the Democrat-Gazette.
Faulkner.
P. H. Sexton is
a young married man, but hasn't lost his mind yet. He borrowed a wheel from
his near neighbor to subscribe for the Democrat-Gazette. Another good man
who acted wisely.
J. .F. Snider is
a native of East Tennessee but ten years ago decided Texas the place for
him. With only nine children to work for, he will have plenty of time for
rest and recreation. A dollar takes him fifty-two copies of the best paper
published in Collin county, the Democrat-Gazette.
T. H. Williams
is the oldest settler in this community, having located here in 1866. Born
in Tennessee eighty years ago and twenty-six years later was married to Miss
May Ann Simmons and to this aged and happy couple were born fifteen
children, four having died. Mr. Williams was converted and united with the
Missionary Baptist church when only twenty years of age and for sixty years
has affiliated with that denomination. Mrs. Williams attached herself to the
same church twenty-five years ago and with faltering steps incident to the
infirmities of age, this Christian couple, with eyes of faith view the
promised land upon whose shores stand four sweet children with open arms to
embrace papa and mama. The Democrat-Gazette will make fifty-two visits to
this Christian home.
