Brenham's "Sergeant"
and
a search for an old Brenham Home
|
| "This
[photo] is an old house in Brenham
that I lived in around 1950-1953 when I was about two. After Brenham,
we moved to St. Louis, and then to Fort
Worth. At that time, there were four of us kids, ages 4 1/2 to
newborn. Mom and Dad are now gone, and I've only just found these
pictures. This is the only picture I've found of the house so far.
I remember that it was close to the railroad. There were a couple
of woman (Dozzie and Marie) that used to help our Mother with the
housekeeping. |

I also remember
an old Black man, who dressed in khaki and rode a horse with a pony
in tow, selling rides (for a nickel or dime) on the pony. I believe
he was a WWI veteran
- and I only remember him as "Sergeant." He rode up and down the
graded roads whistling a tune.
I would like to know more about this house. I feel like it may have
been bulldozed since then; but [if possible] I sure would like to
know more about the house [or any of] the people I've mentioned."
