Looking Back
By James Persky
Some people would cer-
tainly be surprised if they
could somehow travel back in
time fifty sixty seventy or
more years and visit some of
the smaller towns in this
area.
The following item was
copied from The Taylor
Democrat and reprinted in
The Bartlctt Tribune on Sept.
19 1913:
"A. P. Flannlgan former-
ly publisher of the Hutto
News was a visitor in Taylor
Wednesday and paid the
office a fraternal call. Mr.
Flannlgan Is editor and pub-
lisher of a paper to be
established at Schwertncr
Texas the new town midway
between Bartlctt and Jarrcil
on the Bartlctt and Western
Railway which lias a popula-
tion of approximately GOO
Inhabitants."
At this time Schwertncr
was not really "new" be-
cause it had had a gin for a
number of years there were
close to ten businesses and
the railroad had gone
through three years before.
On November 14 1913 The
Tribune reported that: "A. P.
Flannlgan editor of the Sch-
wertncr News attended the
Carnival at Houston this
week."
This next item was copied
from The Georgetown Com-
mercial and reprinted in The
Bartlett Tribune on March
26 1915:
"Schwertncr Paper Sold
"Sheriff Lee 0. Allen went
to Schwertncr last Wednes-
day and sold the Schwertner
News recently established
and suspended by A. P.
Flanagan. The paper was
sold to the American Typo
Founders Co. for $560 to
satisfy a judgement for
debt."
Mr. Flannlgan who owned
the paper had earlier opera-
ted a newspaper in Bartlett
The Bartlqtt News. Inciden
tally Sheriff Lcc Allen was
from Bartlett. He was one of
the youngest sheriffs In the
state when he was first
elected.
If there arc people who
find it hard to believe that
Schwertner had a newspa-
per they would probably also
be surprised to learn that
Davilla once had a newspa-
per. Davilla has had its
enterprises also. In fact It
was once reported that the
first store In Taylor was
started by a DAVILLA
FIRM.
In the Spring of 1902 The
Bartlett Tribune reprinted
the following items copied
frcm The Davilla Tribune.
"Mr. Elmo Lincoln has
been elected to teach the San-
dy Creek school near Rock-
dale." "Miss Tama Massey who
has been selling dry goods for
W. W. Walton for the past
month left for her home in
Bartlctt Thursday to the
regret of her friends."
In 1958 Mr. Paul Vitwar
passed away and the Bart-
lett paper stated that: "He
was a retired farmer and at
one time operated a newspa-
per in Davilla and had the
telephone exchange there."
In 1890 the population of
Bartlctt was 206. The Bartlctt
Tribune was four years old at
that time. Of course the
paper's circulation was not
limited to the city limits.
