The New Year of a Century Ago in Mexia

-
A century ago, the New Year 1919 had a touch of momento mori going on.

Happy New Year  . ..  IF YOU SHOULD DIE? (double underlined for effect)





most of the films have been lost to time


but not Bears & Bad Men!
(features an early Stan Laurel)


Wright Kincheloe's letter to Gray Forrest from the prior month was published on the front page as well, regarding his last half of 1918's WWI movement




A good bulk of the pages were focused on the returning soldier

Martial Law Comes to Mexia for 47 Days: January 12 to Feb. 28 1922

Life was pretty exciting in Mexia in 1922, as long as you managed not to get killed.  The headlines on Monday, January 9 are inextricably linked. The oil boom had brought with it, as always, the rush of money and people rushing to chase the money. 1921 had seen the town population swell exponentially. There wasn't enough of anything in Mexia, not enough water, or train tracks, or beds, or restaurants, and, naturally, not enough law to handle the vice that accompanied roughnecks in the field making money.  By the dawn of 1922, things were getting intolerable. The headline "Martial Law Not to Be Declared Here Now  was just the handwriting on the wall.   There was a raid two nights before, at 11:00 on Saturday night, "zero hour when Federal and Sate officers, rangers, and prohibition agents went 'over the top,' at the Winter Garden and Chicken Farm, capturing the two resorts without a drop of blood and with only one shot fired, whi

The Great Mexia Fire of 1922

Mere days after Governor Neff declared Martial Law in Mexia, a fire swept through two blocks in the heart of downtown Mexia Saturday night, January 14, 1922. Possibly due to the newsmen who had descended on the city to cover the military presence in the town, photos were taken at the height of the flames.  Eight buildings and more than 100 businesses were destroyed. The Corsicana Daily Sun put out an Extra edition Saturday night with details of the timeline (and clearly a hope they would attract some of the burned out businesses...) The fire originated in the Ross & Green building at 6:30, and spread to the adjacent buildings and jumped across the street to burn out the facing block's side by 8:00 that evening, due to the critical and ongoing water shortage in the city. "The firemen have resorted to the use of dynamite in their efforts to control the flames." At 7:42 "just before the Telephone building caved in" a call reached C

A few rare moving pictures made in Mexia in the 1920s were preserved long enough to be coverted to some other media that had survived into the age of YouTube. The Ellis/Henson Families in Mexia is a clip of a much longer film that may or may not still exist. The first minute is the Henson family in May 1926, with a few shots of their street Minute 1:00 - 3:28 is even more rare, as it was shot indoors, and is entitled Kindergarten Play: The King and Queen, with John Sanders as king and Christine Bond as queen   (the children in the play would be nearly 100 years old now) At 3:29 the title card is of Jim Threatt, the manager of the Mexia Country Club.  at 3:42 another family appears in the frames, not titled, perhaps the Ellis family? At 5:08 we move out to the oil fields and I can't quite work out the full name on the rig. Anyone? W.B. S...ser? et al The remainder of the fi
