Newt Gresham’s Union story ends in Texas convention upheaval
Non-farmers were removed from the Union as E A Calvin won the presidency. The Waco 1905 convention left the treasury empty and a rump group from several states planned a December 6 Texarkana meeting to form a national union led by Pyle who then backed C S Barrett for twenty six years of leadership. Newton Gresham died in April 1906 after an appendicitis attack while on an organizing trip in Tennessee.
