The following is an obituary of
David Adams, who came early
to the London area, later moving to the North Llano River in Sutton County,
near the Kimble County line. He is buried in the Cedar Hill Cemetery
on the North Llano River in Kimble County. The clipping of the obituary
from the Sonora newspaper has been given to Kimble County Historical Archives
by an Adams descendant, Charles Q. Andrews.
DAVID ADAMS
David Adams, county tax assessor of Sutton County, died near Rock Springs,
Edwards County, on Sunday, December 8, 1901, in his 64th year.
Mr. and Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Warren had been on a visit to Quince Adams who
ranches 30 miles below Rock Springs on East Prong of the Nueces, in "Bull
Head" country. Mr. Adams accompanied his wife and Mrs. Warren, his
sister, to Rock Springs Friday and the ladies continued their journeys to
their homes on the North Llano River. Mr. Adams hired a team and wagon
to take himself and some supplies to his son's ranch. They left Rock
Springs Saturday morning with W. R. Bobbitt and a Mexican driver, with Mr.
Adams reclining in the bed of the wagon as has been his custom for the past
few years. Arriving at the first water about 15 miles from Rock Springs
they stopped for dinner. The bridles were taken from the horses but
they were left hitched to the wagon. The horses taking fright ran away.
The pole was broken, and the country being exceedingly rough, Mr. Adams was
thrown out of the wagon, his head striking a rock, fracturing his skull and
being otherwise seriously injured. His right side was partially paralyzed.
The team ran about 300 yards beyond where Adams was thrown out.
Mr. Adams was carried to the Shipman ranch nearby and lived from Saturday
afternoon until Sunday morning. His sons and family were notified
and preparations were at once made for the burial at the grave yard on the
North Llano, where interment was had Tuesday evening. Rev. Frank Collier
conducting the services. The tragic end of "Uncle Davy" is greaty deplored
by the entire country. He was a man of quiet and unassuming
habits with a generous heart and kindly nature. Deceased was born January
10, 1838, in Lincoln County, Kentucky and married in the same county to Miss
Serena Estes on February 8, 1859. They moved to Christian County, Mo.
in 1868 and lived there six years when they came to Texas. They have
lived in various parts of Texas but for the past 17 years have resided in
Sutton County. His wife survives him and on the union there were six
boys and seven girls, eleven of whom are still living and all of whom were
present at the burial. He was the grandfather of 56 children, fifty
of whom are still living and 23 of whom attended the funeral, together with
two great grandchildren. He was one of the pioneers of Sonora as well
as of the county and was elected to the office of County Tax Assessor at
the last general election.
The News sympathizes with the widow and family in their affliction.

a critical condition until relieved by death Tuesday. The funeral services

moved to Junction where he and Mrs. Allen built a home to spend their last
few years. He has not been well for several months but was able to
get up Sunday morning. He had not been up long until he fell in the
floor and was soon dead. His heart had been giving him trouble for
some time. Funeral services were held at the cemetery Monday
afternoon with Rev. George B. McCrary, pastor of the Methodist Church officiating,
assisted by Rev. James J. Kellam, pastor of the Baptist Church. Interment
was in the Junction cemetery with the Smith Funeral Home of Kerrville in
charge. The following were active pall bearers: Ray Holland,

Funeral Services Are Held In Kerrville With Dr. Dickey In Charge (name
of paper not given)
In the homegoing of
Mrs. W. W. Allen in San Antonio Sunday,
October 24, Kimble county has lost one of her best loved ranch women.
Mrs. Allen has not had good health for many months and a short time ago she
came in from the ranch and was living at the Fritz Hotel when she became
critically ill with asthma. She was carried to a San Antonio hospital,
but grew worse. She developed pneumonia from which she died on Sunday.
Funeral services were held in Kerrville Monday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock
with Dr. W. P. Dickey in charge. He was assisted by his brother, Dr.
Brooks I. Dickey, Dr. T. S. Van Dyke and Rev. Thomas Bradley. The body was
laid to rest by the side of her husband, who preceded her 24 years ago.
The floral offering was one of the most beautiful ever seen in Kerrville.
Mrs. W. W. Allen was born at Concrete, Texas, near Yoakum in Lavaca
county. She spent her girlhood days in Cuero, Old Sweet Home and Concrete.
She attended Baylor College at Belton. She was married to W. W. Allen
at Old Sweet Home, with her sister Mrs. Sol West in charge of the social
event. In those days the greatest social events were the well planned
home weddings. To this union three children, Mrs. John Phillips, Raymond
Allen and Ed Allen, were born, all of whom were present with her during her
last days. She is also survived by three sisters, Mrs. Sol West, Mrs.
Betty Dewees and Mrs. Fred Patton; four grand children and many other relatives.
Soon after her marriage, she and her husband moved to a ranch in Waller
county where they lived about ten years. Mr. Allen then bought
the Allen ranch here and they moved to Kerrville where the children attended
school. After the death of Mr. Allen she moved on the ranch where she
has made her home since. Early in life Mrs. Allen united with
the Presbyterian Church and remained a faithful, devoted and active member
until her death. She was a member of the order of the Eastern
Star with her membership in the Junction chapter. She always
took an active interest in the social life of the community and was famed
through Kimble and Kerr counties as a gracious hostess. She was especially
interested in a wholesome social life for the young people and was
often hostess for social events for young people Before ill health
interfered with her activities, she was always
rendering deeds of kindness to the unfortunate. In her death the community
will lose a good citizen; the church a devoted member, and the family, a
loving mother and grandmother. She is gone but her influence will continue
to live in the lives of those with whom she came in contact.

Death Claims
Mrs. G. C. Amberson On June First Many of
the older citizens of London were made sad on June 1, when the news of the
death of Mrs. G. C. Amberson of San Antonio reached relatives and friends.
Mrs. Amberson, better known in Kimble county as Aunt Lizzie Amberson,
was the widow of the late Jim Amberson, Sr. She lived for many years
on the farm where she and her husband reared their family of six children--four
sons and two daughters. The husband met a sudden death many years ago
in a thunder storm.
After Mr. Amberson's death the family moved to San Antonio in about 1912,
where Mrs. Amberson lived until her death. She was born in Lavaca county
73 years ago, but moved to Kimble county with her grand-father, George Walton
and Uncle Lou Walton, when a small child, and made her home with them until
her marriage with G. C. Amberson. When a young woman she united with
the Church of Christ and lived an exemplary Christian life. She was
also a member of the Woodmen Circle and of the Order of the Eastern Star.
Although she made her home in San Antonio, she never forgot her London friends
and visited them at least once a year as long as she was able to make the
trip. The large crowd present at the funeral services on June 2, and
the beautiful floral offering attested the love and esteem in which she was
held by London friends. Interment was made in the Little Saline
Cemetery by the side of her husband. Mrs. Amberson was a good woman
and has been called from this strife torn world to a place of peace and rest
at His own right hand. Friends extend to the children and other relatives
heartfelt sympathy in this sad bereavement, and say to them, look higher
and cast your burden at His feet.

were born. The family moved to Kimble county in the fall of 1911 to
enter the ranch business and settled on
the site of the present home place where Mrs. Buck lived until death.
Mrs. Buck joined the Methodist Church early in life and maintained a faithful
membership, although her increasing years prevented her personal participation
in the active work of the church. She was held in high esteem by her
many friends and loved and appreciated by all who knew her. Her simple
life, easy manner and soft spoken words were exemplary of the life she fulfilled.
Her going leaves empty another of the prime places of citizenship established
by the pioneers
of an earlier day in Kimble county. Mrs. Corrie Buck was preceded
in death by an infant daughter, Mabel Lee, one son, Stroud Ethan, and her
husband, the late W. W. Buck. Children surviving her are Mrs. R. B.
Curry of San Angelo, Mrs. R. E. Homann of Junction, and Walter Buck of Junction.
Other survivors include five grand-children: Reginald B. Curry of Stanford,
Conn.; George W. Curry of San Angelo; Nolan Curry of San Angelo; Miss
Martha Curry of Houston and James Carrol Cherry, Jr. of Junction. Mrs.
Willie
Winston of Groesbeck, Texas a sister of Mrs. Buck, is the only surviving
member of the Stroud family. Two sister-in-laws, Mrs. J. R. Stroud
of Grosbeck and Mrs. Alice Stroud of Alpine, also survive.

Weaver Baker Rites Are Held Here Wednesday Funeral services
for Weaver H. Baker, Chairman of the State Board of Control, who was killed
Sunday morning in a car crash near Austin, were held at the Junction Baptist
Church Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock, with Dr. W. R. White, pastor of
the First Batist Church of Austin, officiating. Dr. White was assisted by
Dr. James J. Kellam of Dallas, and Chaplain Neel Greer of Camp Fannin, Tyler,
both former pastors of the local church. Four hundred people filled
the church for the services, and as many more stood outside in a drizzling
rain, to pay last respects to Judge Baker. The Junction Baptist Church,
of which Mr. Baker had been a member for more than 25 years, was decorated
with one of the largest floral offerings ever seen in this Hill Country town.
Following the services at the church, the funeral cortege made its way, through
showers of rain, to the Junction Cemetery where the remains were interred.
The Masonic Lodge and American Legion had charge of the graveside services.
Active pallbearers were Gov. Coke Stevenson, Gully Cowsert, Emil A.
Loeffler, Judge J. B. Randolph, George Vierling, C. W. McCarroll, Alton Mason
and J. S. Farmer Baker is survived by his widow and two daughters,
Marilyn, 19, a student at Sul Ross State Teacher's College at Alpine, and
Beverly, 23, of Austin, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Baker of Junction,
a brother, Eli, and a sister, Mrs. H. I. Taylor, both of Junction.
He was born April 10, 1894, on a farm near Jacksboro and moved to Kimble
County with his parents in 1901. He was educated in the public schools
of Kimble County and at the University of Texas, and taught school for two
years, prior to World War I. Baker was the first man to volunteer for
service from Kimble County and served with both the 36th and 90th Divisions.
During World War II he served as judge advocate for the Texas National Guard.
Baker was licensed to practice law on June 12, 1919, and just a week later
was appointed Kimble County attorney. He was elected to this post without
opposition in 1920, re-elected for a second term without opposition and retired
to enter the law firm of Stevenson and Knetsch. He engaged in the general
practice until January 1931, when he was elected District Attorney of the
112 Judicial District. Baker was re-elected for five terms without
opposition. In 1942, Stevenson named him a member of the Board of Control,
the state's business agency which not only governs the state's system of
eleemosynary institutions but is the budget-making agency, and he was named
chairman. He concentrated much of his efforts on improving the institutions
for wards of the state. He achieved one ambition about a year ago--the
final removal of all the insane from county jails to institutions better
equipped to care for them. Baker was a Baptist and a member of the
Kimble Bar Association, and was chairman of the trustees of the state teacher's
retirement system. He was active in the County and Commissioners Association
during his tenure as county official. He unsuccessfully sought nomination
to the Court of Criminal Appeals in the July Democratic primary. Note

and cheer. She scattered flowers and sunshine wherever she went.
She loved her home, her children and her friends and in her homegoing her
children have lost a devoted mother, her neighbors a true and faithful friend,
and the community a loyal citizen. It can be said of her that she was
a woman of strong Christian character--patient, loving and self-sacrificing.

BEAR CREEK PIONEER DIES AT SAN ANTONIO
W. A. Bannowsky,
a pioneer of the Hill Country and a citizen of Kimble County since 1882,
died in a San Antonio hospital Sunday, August 4, following several months
illness. He had been under treatment in San Antonio for two weeks.
Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the Church of Christ
with Elder Walter W. Leamons, officiating, assisted by Rev. Glen D. Welch,
pastor of the Junction Baptist Church. Interment was made in the Junction
Cemetery. The following were active pallbearers: Nolan Gilliam,
George Stengel, Harold Dutton, Allen Bishop, Lee Murchison and R. H. Woody.
William A. Bannowsky is survived by his widow, five sons--A.
J. of Kansas City, Mo. Clarence J. of Oakland, California; Alfred, Chester
and Guss of Junciton; and one daughter, Mrs. Don Reed of Lake Charles, La.;
and a sister, Mrs. C. F. Burt of Junction. Ten grand-children and six
great grandchildren also survive. Mr. Bannowsky, a successful Kimble
County ranchman and a typical pioneer Texan, was born Nov. 10, 1858, in a
hewed cedar log cabin near Oatmeal, on Cow Creek, in Burnet County where
he lived until moving to Menard County with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick
L. Bannowsky in May 1882. After his marriage to Miss Emily Weaver on
March 15, 1887, he lived in Kimble, Menard, Schleicher, Runnels and Concho
Counties. In 1917 he traded for the Fred Hall Ranch in Kimble, known
as the Viejo Ranch. He received 2,000 acres of divideland for which
he paid $6 per acre, and also 500 acres of valley land lying along East Bear
Creek, which includes 25 acres, watered by a gravity irrigation system.
He enlarged his holdings until he owned 6,000 acres of ranch land. He possessed
the largest apple orchard in this section of the state and grew other fruit,
pecans, and vegetables, but his chief interests were his flocks of sheep,
goats, cattle and horses. His most treasuered possession was his saddle
pony which he rode often. He started a cedar eradication program long
before the government program began and was one of the first to co-operate
with the government, often using the cedar axe himself, and as a result most
of his land is cleared. He had been riding horseback since he wa four
years old. He and his sister, Charlotte, now Mrs. C. F. Burt of Junction,
learned to ride bareback on an old Spanish mare their father had purchased
and eight years later lost in the last Indian raid in Burnet County. When
Mr. Bannowsky was 18 years old, his father and an older brother paid $2,000
for the horse brand "51". In two months time, with hired help, he penned
and sold enough at $10 a head to repay the brand purchase price. The
first lot he sold numbered 178 and went to Kansas for farm and ranch work.
He raised a herd of his own horses in the early days, beginning with a young
mare
given him by a neighbor for penning a group of wild horses. At the
time the land along the Kimble-Menard County (Coninued on page eight)

MRS. CHARLOTTE BURT FUNERAL HELD JUNE 11 Funeral
services for Mrs. Charlotte Frederica Burt, 91, who died suddenly in her
home here Tuesday morning about 5:30 o'clock, were held Wednesday afternoon
at five o'clock from the Junction Presbyterian Church with the Rev. Thomas
D. Murphy, minister, officiating assisted by Walter W. Lemmons, College Street
Church of Christ minister. The Junction Chapter O.E.S. conducted the
graveside rites. The Hodges Funeral Home had charge of arrangements.
Burial was made in the Junction cemetery. Mrs. Burt, daughter of a
refugee family who fled Germany in 1849 during the democratic uprising in
which her father, F. L. Bannowsky, served in the revolutionary army, was
born in Burnet County, Texas, on June 4, 1856. On October 26, 1876,
she was married to a physician, Dr. James Warren Burt, whom she first met
when he was called to treat injuries she sustained when trampled by a horse.
In 1883 they and their two young sons moved to Kimble County and established
the home which served as a medical center, and often as a hospital, until
the Doctor's death in 1913. For years she and her husband, both registered
pharmacists, owned and operated the old "Rock Drug Store", which was prominent
in early county history. The rock building on the main street of Junction
which is now the Masonic Hall and her rambling pioneer style home are among
the few
remaining land marks of the town. During the 10 years or so following
her husband's death the professional atmosphere of her home was maintained
by her son, Dr. J. Fred Burt, now a retired physician, who kept an office
in town both then and after he married and established a home of his own.
Mentally alert in spite of confinement to a wheel chair and crutches, she
kept informed of current affairs through visits from friends and by reading.
Many went to her for historical facts and general advice and her name appears
on a large number of "old date" birth certificates recorded during the wartime
rush. Surviviors include one son, Dr. J. Fred Burt, two daughters-in-law,
Mrs. J. Fred Burt and Mrs. Ernest M. Burt, five grandchildren: Mrs. Sidney
Levinson of Los Angeles, California, Mrs. J. D. Sheppard of San Antonio;
Mrs. Damon Maddux and Misses Imogene and Jo Fred Burt; and 6 great grandchildren.
Pall bearers were the following nephews: Alfred Bannowsky, Guss Banowsky,
Chester Banowsky, Matt Burt, Fane L. Burt and Don Reed.

"Kimble County Citizen" Newspaper, January 31, 1913 Used with permission
Obituary - With sadness we chronicle the death of
Dr. J. W.
Burt. This honored citizen of Kimble County has gone from our
midst. He was born in Washington County, Arkansas, in July, 1851. Came
to Kimble County, May, 1882, and has been engaged in the practice of Medicine
ever since. His health has been on the decline for some months, and
a short time ago he went to Marlin, Texas, for medical aid, where he passed
away January 21, 1918 (sic). His remains were brought to his hoem in
Junction, and on the 24th interrment was made in the Junction cemetery.
A Brief religious service was held at the home of the deceased, conducted
by Elder John S. Durat, when the Masonic fraternity, of which Dr. Burt was
an
honored member, took charge, and after the ante-burial service, they, together
with the W.O.W. and Eastern Star members, all the school children, and a
host of friends, thronged
to the cemetery where the remains were deposited in the tomb to await the
resurrection of the dead. The impressive burial service of the Masonic
lodge was given the deceased,
while those who loved him joined with the bereaved family in sorrow over
his departure. Dr. Burt will be long remembered as a friend to the
sick and the bereaved of our section,
where he has given his life to the suffereing and afflicted. Many tears
flowed freely while (end of clipping)
Note from Frederica: He was the son of Dr. John Smith Burt and Helen
E. McElroy. Death date was 1-21-1913.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Passing of Dr. Burt
The passing of Dr. Burt is much more to the people of Kimble than
the passing of any private citizen. Dr. Burt is associated in
the minds of everyone in the county as one of the most
prominent original settlers of this country. The young people looked
upon him as much a part of Kimble as the Llano River is a part. To
send for him in sickness was instinctive, to be in Junction at any social
event without seeing the good old Doctor was unthinkable. ...
the passing of the Doctor is much more, he was a land mark, or rather a history
mark of this country. He belongs to our youth, our glorious youth,
the time when we came into the new, unknown frontier country, to make homes
for ourselves and our children.He was with us in the time of the open range,
when our stock ranged from Rio Grande to Red River, of the trail herd, the
round-up and chuck wagon, the open range, the open door, as wide open as
the range, and the welcoming hand to every stranger. He was with us
in the pastures, the time of the land rushes, the dry, lean years and late
springs. With us he has always been the same cheerful friend taking
the bright view, helping us over the rough places when times were bad and
a pleasant companion when times were good. We referred historical events
to him, and deferred to his knowledge. And now he is gone, and going
has taken some part of us with him. For long we have tried to convince
ouselves that we are as good as we ever were, that we have the same energy
and ... as in the early days but this is not so, we are compelled to admit
that we are "has beens", the times have changed and we can change with them.
We live in the past, we look back to that time, the time of the free and
easy life on the open range. We love to remember that time and talk
of it, of the big floods and late frosts, of cattle driving and stampedes,
the time when we did great things, and made a country. New faces,
new people, new ways; we are passing awy; our chapter of history is written.
The old Doctor has gone. Old Settler

spent the remainder of his life here. He was in the ranch business
for a number of years and had some of the best sheep ever seen in Kimble
county. He met with financial reverses and was engaged in the barber
business the last years of his life, owning the Burt Barber Shop on the west
side of the square. He was married to Miss Zora Miller on December
24, 1902 and to this union were born three
children--one son and two daughters. The son, James Warren Burt died

Maddux, survive. In addition to his wife and two daughters, he is also
survived by his mother, three grandchildren, one brother and other relatives.
For many years he had been a member of the Baptist Church, being a member
of the board of Deacons. He served several years as a teacher in the
Sunday school and also as superintendent. He also took an interest
in the social and political life of the community, retiring two years
ago as Justice of the Peace in Precinct No. 1 after serving several years
in that capacity. Ernest Burt had many friends in Kimble county, who
mourn with the family in the untimely homegoing of their friend and neighbor.

The Junction Eagle, Dec. 8, 1921 Used with permission.
BURT
John Warren Burt died near noon Dec. 1st 1921.
He was then but seventeen days more than eighteen years of age. He
was the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Burt, both natives of Kimble county, the
grandson of the late Doctor Burt of Junction, and his maternal grandfather
is Mr. J. A. Miller an old settler now living in the Gentry community.
So he leaves many relatives as well as numberous friends to mourn his loss.
When a child Warren was several times attacked by disease which seemed to
threaten his life. However, as he got into his teens he seemed stronger,
grew rapidly and quickly developed into a comely and winsome young man.
Near two years ago he was attacked by a trouble which eventually proved to
be osteo-sarcoma. Heroic measures were resorted to and for a
time he seemed well again and his many friends were happy to see him taking
his place in our community life. Then, early in the autumn he began
to fail. Very soon itwas evident that he was losing the battle and
after a few smiling suffering weeks he passed away from the presence of many
who loved him much. Many good things could be said of this fine Christian
boy. He was intelligent and observing
