Seventy five Russian Immigrants Arrive at Brenham Depot
About seventy five Russian immigrants endured a rough journey to Brenham arriving Wednesday night at the Union depot. They, many children, carried bags in sacks and spoke little English while a few men came via a Santa Fe cross tie pass from Galveston. They head to Plantersville where a Russian colony exists, some carrying three thousand dollars, and questions arose if they were pauper migrants.
