BiographySource: "Christmas in Dallas-1932-1967" by Nancy Kate McCraw Curry (1977)
"Chapter I-Christmas at Aunt Nettie's House-Since I was born on November 20, 1932, my first
"outing" socially was to the Family Tree Christmas day at Aunt Nettie and Uncle Lawrence's
home on Gaston Avenue. The house was large, plaster, and stucco. Downstairs, there was a
living room, dining room, sun porch, library, plus a pantry, kitchen, and various porches. What I
liked best was the dumb waiter in the servant's stair well. Upstairs there were bed rooms of all
sizes down one long hall that led to a large sleeping porch; there was ONE bathroom for the whole
place. There was the traditional servant's house and garage in the back. The house also had a
large "walk-in" attic area."
We had Christmas at Aunt Nettie's until I was Six. When I was five, Uncle Lawrence died one night
in his sleep. Aunt Nettie woke up to find him cold dead beside her in bed. She NEVER recovered
from the event. She refused to ever be by herself again at night, or even in the day. She was
extremely superstitious. Uncle Lawrence was a lawyer, banker, and in oil He left his family very
well off."
"Chapter II-Who Came?-(1) Uncle Lawrence and Aunt Nettie were the center of the family after
grandfather Edwin LeRoy Antony passed on."
"Chapter X-Personalities at the Tree-Certain individual's behavior coudl be foretold each year.
They never failed to exhibit the same personality characteristics. Auntie (Alice Antony Brown) and
Aunt Nettie (Nettie Lee Houghton McBride) behaved in the following manner. Aunt Nettie's
mother died when she was a child. She was sent to live with her next to oldest sister Nancy
Augusta Houghton Antony (my grandmother). Auntie was three years old, and Aunt Nettie was
eight years old. Aunt Nettie lived with them until she married her brother-in-law's (Edwin LeRoy

would always seggregate themselves on the couch and talk. Aunt Nettie would tease Auntie until
Auntie would cry. She would leave the couch in a huff and crying; Aunt Nettie would remain on the
couch and laugh."
(Note: This account stated that Nettie went to live with her older sister when she was eight years
old after the death of her mother. She must have been a little older than that because Nettie was
with her parents on the 1880 Williamson Co., TX census. Jean Halliburton stated in her family files
that Nettie's parents, Joel and Catherine Houghton, died in 1882. I have not found proof of those
dates yet, but I imagine that they are close to being accurate. That means Nettie would have gone
to live with her sister, Nancy Augusta Houghton Antony, when she was around 11 years old.)3

firm of McBride, Hamilton, Lipscomb & Wood, and for many years had been vice president and
general counsel of the Dallas Bank and Trust Company and of the Dallas Title and Guaranty
company. During his practice as a lawyer he was engaged in many important cases both in the
State and Federal courts, including the Supreme Court of the United States. He had been
interested in restoring Texas historic spots in preparation for the Centennial and in a movement to
make improvements at the old home of Gen. Sam Houston. Born in San Marcos-Son of S.B. and
Belle Wilson McBride, the lawyer was born June 28, 1869, at San Marcos. He spent his childhood
and early youth at San Marcos, where he was educated at Coronal Institute, graduating from the
institution when he ws 14 years old. Unitl he was 18 he was connected with the Green Banking
Company at San Marcos and before he was 24 he had organized a bank at Bowie. Later he came
to Dallas with the old Exchange National Bank but returned to San Marcos and studied law in his
father's office. When he was 25 he passed the State bar examination. He formed a partnership at
Cameron with Judge Montague J. Moore and later the law partnership of Hefley, McBride &
Watson. On July 14, 1898, he married Miss Nettie Lee Houghton. The family lived at Cameron

Dallas lost one of the truest, noblest, kindest, gentlest and ablest men who ever marched through
our history. Through the long years I counted him one of my very dearest friends and I underwrite
the tribute paid to him by Judge E.B. Muse, when in appointing him receiver of the Western Bank
and Trust Company, he said, "L. C. McBride is as honest as Paul." A native Texan, son of a
Confederate soldier and descended from James Wilson, one of the signers of the Declaration of
Independence, this dear friend of ours came of noble blood and among the high qualities that
adorned his life was that of quiet generosity. In his early years, while still living in his native town of
San Marcos, he gave his heart to Christ and was baptized in the crystal waters of the San Marcos
River. Thoughout his entire career he embraced his religion as the biggest thing in his life and if
any of us ever knew a man who lived the Christian profession, that man was L.C. McBride. He
was once called to the judgeship but public life lured him not. He was in love with his profession as
a lawyer, and chose the quiet and unostentatious activities of private life rather than entering the
public arena to "read his history in the Nation's eye." With the gracious qualities with which he was
endowed, which always was smiling on his brow, he could have made his way to political fame, but
that was not to be. He chose the better part of the high career of a successful and honest lawyer
and in that scored a high achievement. He cherished the old concept of friendship so remnant in
his native State when he was born. How he loved the history and traditions we are so soon to
commemorate in our Centennial year. The warm handclasp, the genial smile, the cherry greeting,
the glowing sparkle of the friendly eye-these adorned L.C. McBride as he walked the way of life.
We shall miss him and we are not soon to meet his like again. His dear wife and family have a
heritage of which they will be proud to the end of their lives and Dallas is richer for the sojourn here
for historic years of this noble Christian gentleman. He belonged to the royal priesthood
immortalized in our New Testament Scriptures.

Biography*A History of Greater Dallas and Vicinity, Volume II, Selected Biographies and Memoirs by Mr. L.B.
Hill Editor, published 1909 The Lewis Publishing Company Chicago:
Lawrence Cameron McBride holds and merits a place among the distinguished legal practitioners
and citizens of Dallas. He was born at San Marcos, Texas, to S.B. McBride and Mary Belle
(Wilson) McBride. S.B. McBride, born in Tennessee, located at San Marcos before the Civil war,
and served in the Confederate army throughout that struggle. During many years he was one of
the most prominent lawyers of that city, but is now retired form the profession and makes his home
at Arlington. His wife, born on the island of Vancouver, in British Columbia, is a daughter of
Amariah Wilson, a noted frontier character and pioneer and one of the earliest residents of Hays
county, Texas. He was born in Ohio, and he made the overland trip with his family from Texas to
California in the days of 1849, where he carried on business at San Francisco and at various other
points on the Pacific coast and accumulated a fortune. He was a grandson of James Wilson, one
of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and who afterwards was a member of the
supreme court of the United States.
Lawrence Cameron McBride was educated principally in Coronal Institute at San Marcos, where he
graduated with the first honors of the class of 1885 and was the class valedictorian. While studying
there one of his principal teachers was Professor Carr Pritchett, afterward president of Sam
Houston Normal College and superintendent of public instruction in Texas. He studied law under
Judge Gustave Cook, of San Marcos, a distinguished lawyer and at one time a candidate for the
office of governor. After his admission to the bar at San Marcos in 1894 Mr. McBride began
practice at Cameron in Milam county, but in February of 1905 he left there to locate permanently in
Dallas, where he is engaged in a general civil practice. But in addition to this large practice he is
the receiver of the Western Bank and Trust Company and of the Fleming Ranch and Cattle
company, two Dallas concerns of extensive financial interests that failed following the panic of
October, 1908.
He married Miss Nettie Houghton, of Georgetown, and her father, also a lawyer, was one of the
early judges of the state. Their three children are Lawrence Cameron, Ralph and Catherine Belle
*Obituary of son Lawrence C. McBride, Jr. indicated that the family came to Dallas, TX from
Cameron when he was five years old. That would have been 1905.
*Family document written by Nancy Kate McCraw Curry in 1977 entitled "Christmas in
Dallas-1932-1967-..Aunt Nettie lived with them Cameron, TX> until she married her brother-in-law’s (Edwin LeRoy Antony) young law partner,
Lawrence Cameron McBride...”
Note: They married in Cameron, TX in 1898.3
