Mass Grave Discovered, Mexican-Presbyterian Church Built

First Baptist Church brick building was completed on the west side, at 422 St. Paul Street. On September 8, The Gonzales Reform newspaper was advertised as the only German newspaper published in the county, but it may have closed in 1910. A mass grave was found at the A. Fischer homestead site on St. Michael Street when excavations began for Harwood’s new warehouse (Block 15). On September 12, the first copy of The Globe newspaper was printed, but it closed in December. The Guadalupe River flooded on April 26, cresting at 25.5 feet. The Mexican-Presbyterian Church was built by T.F. and A.R. Harwood. Finally, C.V. Bright bought out E.A. Gomez, and Bright Jewelry House was born.
