Subject:
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.
