BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.
Uncle Abe Hensarlins Passed 76th
Mile Post Today.

Thirty-eight years ago four or five
country boys had been out hunting
and stopped to rest az a point a mile
north OF Steep Hollow church. While
sitting on a STOPPING oak tree that
grew but a few feet from the ground.
a man in middle life rode up and spoke
TO them and asked them a number OF
questions about the country and the
few people that lived AT that time in
the neighborhood. The nan vas Mr..
Abe Hensarling. now a well known
and venerable citizen OF Bryan and
Brazos county. and one OF the boys
that was playing on the bending tree.
was the writer OF these lines.
In a few feet OF the tree Mr.. Hen
sarling built his home where he lived
FOR many years and raised his fam
lily. The children are all grown and
married. and left the old roof-tree
many years ago. and the father Is
now living in this city. The old home
is still there, but IL has not known the
old familiar faces In years. and those
who come In and out its doorways are
strangers.
For several years the children and
grandchildren have gathered at his
home on his birthday, Jan. Sth. to
celebrate the day and enjoy Il with
him. These annual reunions are al
ways occasions OF great pleasure. and
as the venerable old gentleman sees
his stalwart sons and daughters about
him and listens 10 the shouts OF his
grandchildren al play. his dim old
eyes sparkle with a new light. and n
new and sweeter song comes into his
heart.
He was 70 today. and the reunion
was held at lsis home In this city.
Il was a joyous occasion and all pres
ent enjoyed every moment OF the
time. A splendid dinner was served.
and before the guests dispersed, Mr..
lobe Tobias Of the Smith Bros. stu
do. made a group picture OF the
crowd.
Those present were: Mr.. and Mrs.
T. A. Hensarling and children. Mr.. and
