FOR SALE -- 520-acre farm near Lexington, or will trade for stock of merchandise or other desirable property. J.W. PERRY, Rockdale, Tex. Dallas Morning News, February 17, 1906
"Rockdale, my hometown, is Texas' heart and significant part of its soul," George Sessions Perry wrote in his book, Texas: A World Unto Itself. Perry wrote with lifelong affection about his hometown, first as a novelist and later as a magazine journalist. He describes the pioneers of Rockdale as typical of restless Southerners who hitched their wagons and moved to Texas after the Civil War. . . . Clay Coppedge . . .
