The Madisonian
   BROBSTON MEMORIAL
       -----
   Brobston memorial has many friends.  Ten years ago the new building was 
finished.  It was the pride of the community.  There were so many things 
needed to place it on the Standard of Excellence that it seemed that miracles 
were performed during that first year of existence.  Nothing was suggested for 
its improvement that did not come to pass, and this same spirit is alive 
today, and has been during the intervening years.  There is a spirit of 
sincere appreciation in the hearts of this people especially for the part 
played by the late lamented Mr. Edwin Brobston, of Jacksonville, Fla.
   It was his request before his going away that no expensive monument of 
marble or stone be erected to his memory but that the amount be spent in 
helping the ambitious boy and girl along to a better living.  Thus it was made 
possible for the Brobston Memorial and this is why the Brownwood people like 
to do things for this school.
   It is the desire of the community to publicly express their appreciation of 
this deed and they are arranging a program for a memorial in honor of Mr. 
Brobston to be held at Brownwood church Sunday afternoon, May 11th.  Further 
announcements will be made later.

Additional Comments:
One minor typo corrected.
Brobston Memorial School replaced a log school building used prior to 1914.
