Cornersville Club Ends Its Bryan Chapter After 1899 Meeting
The Cornersville Club, founded in 1872 by Bryan schoolmates, held its final gathering led by Col. Harvey Mitchell. J. K. Street of Houston, Col. C. W. Mitchell, and Col. J. K. Street joined as surviving members, with archives entrusted to the county until 1922. The club bottle of wine remained with the county clerk but the archives were lost during courthouse moves. Street later died on a trip from Dallas via Waco, marking the club's last chapter.
