We who have know Ruth Mowery since she was a cute little girl can hardly realize that she is now a mother. If Ben takes after his mother, he is going to be one fine looking fellow when he gets to be So Big.

THOUGHTS ABOUT DEPRESSION By Harry Austin Clapp When children come home and bring the grandchildren, the home is filled with laughter and joy. All this came to the Mowery home when Mr. and Mrs. Watson Barker (Ruth Mowery) surprised the Mowery family by bringing along the two beautiful kiddies for grandparents to play with. Kids lucky enough to have as beautiful a mother as these little Barkers have, are bound to be sweet and beautiful. Thus the Mowery family is happy for a week. The Matagorda County Tribune, Thursday,

By Harry Austin Clapp Ben R. Mowery is the busiest man in this section. He not only is general manager of the Collegeport Rice and Irrigation Company, but is obliged to supervise a host of assistant general managers. Seems that it is asking too much of one fellow. Well, anyway, under his management, about five hundred acres have been plowed and will be planted to cotton. The Daily Tribune, March 27, 1929 |

By Harry Austin Clapp While men were skinning cattle, Ruth Mowery took an ice pick and going out on the icy bay picked out seven big red fish and a tub full of trout and mullet. She also remembered that when she came here from the north she brought her sled so used it for the first time, sailing before the north wind on the frozen bay. The Daily Tribune, January 28, 1930 |
