Brenham's
"Sergeant" and
a search for an old Brenham Home |
| Dear
TE, 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.
