The Southland Newspaper is a valuable resource
for researchers. It was established in March 1892 in Waco, Texas.
Its masthead motto was "Devoted to the Culture and Entertainment
of the Home." The particular issue relating to Van Zandt
County was Vol. XII, No. I, and was published ca 1904. It contains
biographies of living prominent Van Zandt County people as well
as articles and photos. It sold for .10 cents back then and is
certainly worth more than that today to family history researchers!
We have not only transcribed the biographies and articles for
easier reading but have scanned them from the original newspaper
for those who would like to download them and add them to their
collection. If you have any questions about this newspaper or
any of the articles, just contact Sibyl
and we will try to help you.
