What hospitals were in operation in Center in 1920? Are any of their records preserved and if so is it possible to research them? I seeking information about a cousin that died following surgery in 1920. Joyce

I was born at the Center Sanitarium in 1945. T.L. Hurst delivered me. My mother (Beatrice CHILDRESS VOIGHT) was visiting her mother & father (Fannie & William CHILDRESS). My son (Tommy GREEN) was also born there in 1961 & delivered by Dr. Hurst for $55.00. Yes, I was 16 years old. Frances GREEN in Keithville, LA.

I, too, was born at the Center Sanitarium in 1942. T.L. Hurst delivered me. My parents were "homeless" at the beginning of the war and lived with cousins of my dad in Dallas. Mom came home to Center to deliver me before returning to the room in the cousin's house in Dallas. Her family, William Lee and Dezzie McCauley Owen, lived at Short and mom, a registered nurse, tells me that she asked her brother to take her in to the hospital when she went into labor. They went in the farm wagon and he went back home. He came back the next day and took the two of us back to the farm. OABernsen, Hondo, TX

Howdy Folks, I just joined the list. I am a Sholar family researcher looking to establish links from the Shelby Co. Sholars to the other families from where they came prior to migrating to Texas. I found this little interesting morcel which prompted me to join this list. SHOLAR, TEXAS. Sholar was twenty miles northeast of Center in far northeastern Shelby County. It was probably named for the Sholar family, who lived in the area. The community had a post office from 1900 until 1915 and probably served as the post office for the nearby sawmill community of Eagle Mills. In 1914, in addition to the post office, the settlement had a store and a gin. Sholar had ceased to exist as a named community by 1946. I am particularly intereted in locating where Charles Monroe Sholar b. November 10, 1853 in Trigg Co. KY. He left for Texas in the late 1870's early 1880's. It is said he was a school teacher. I was interesed to find out if the above referenced material might offer up some clues as to where he ended up? Or what branch of this family the town got it's name? Are there any Sholar family researchers on this list? If there are I would be very pleased to hear from you. Thanks and have a great day! Colonel Jim
