The family left Tennessee in the 1830's for Schuyler County, Illinois, thence to Washington County, Arkansas, and were on the 1850 Census in Milam County, Texas.

James Gerden acquired extensive land holdings in the vicinity of Reagan Community — having approximately forty tenant houses on the Reagan prairie and in the Brazos Bottom Lands, which he improved for the planting of cotton. He was president of the First National Bank in Reagan, and was also in the lumber business. In December 1914, James Gerden Barganier called “Jim”) was married to Verna Davison, b August 119, 1881 in Falls County, Texas, d January 13, 1969 and buried by her husband in Calvary Cemetery — the first child of Dr. Stephen Decatur Davison and his second wife, Sarah (always called “Sallie” Tankersley)Davison, who were married in Falls County in 1880.

She was a devoted Christian, and very active in the Baptist Churches of Reagan, and subsequently of Marlin. The great loves of her life were her family, her music, and teen-age boys.“Miss Verna” started teaching teen-age boys in the Reagan Baptist Church when only sixteen years of age, and continued this work in the Marlin Baptist Church until her retirement sixty-seven years later, at age 83 years. The fruits of her labors and the influence on the lives of some of these boys was lasting. In the summer of 1924, Mr. Barganier bought Highlands — a turrn-of-the-century mansion, east of Marlin, which is now owned by Thomas and Naomi Michalsky. It was completely restored to its original beauty by Mr. and Mrs. Lee Loeffler, of Houston, Texas. The Loefflers sold it to the Michalskys, who continue to maintain it in excellent condition, and have added additional furnishings of the correct period to enhance its beauty. It is open for tours, year-round. Highlands Mansion was originally built by Mr. B. C. Clark for his bride, Sarah (“Sally” Clarkson) Robinson — widow of Austin Robinson, and daughter of B. B. and Mary Clarkson — natives of Kentucky and Mississippi, respectively. Mr. Clark was a Marlin banker, who died in 1915. The Barganiers moved into Highlands in January 1925, and this remained their family home until, due to failing health, Mrs. Barganier moved to the Falls Hotel in 1962, and Highlands Mansion was given to a Mrs. Delahide, of Houston, by the Barganier fam-ily, with the condition that it be restored and opened to the public. Mrs. Delahide paid for the yard fence; but she subsequently sold the mansion to the Loefflers. During their years in the lovely home, the Barganiers used it extensively for the entertainment of friends and relatives. Mr. Barganier served as a member of the Marlin School Board for many years — his chief interests throughout the years remaining his family and his land.
