More People of Old Sugar Land

 
The first item is the Sugar Land column Ida Lee Krachala wrote for The Texas Coaster.  It contained late-breaking news 63 years ago.
 

I can't identify the man in the next photo, but he's stacking bags of sugar in the 3-Bay Warehouse.

 

  

I can identify just one person in the next set of photos, which show residents in 'down-town' Sugar Land sometime during WWI.

  

Three girls frolicking on the railroad tracks by the depot.  (Actually, the are on a siding - the main track is on the other side of the depot.)

  

A mule cart on Brooks St. - the refinery is in the background.

Another dragster tearing down Brooks Street.

  

The only person I can identify in the previous photos is the girl in the white dress standing in the middle of the railroad tracks.  Her name was Rhoma Sallee Phipps Aven.  I know very little about her, but I've seen her in several pictures of the WWI era.  She is buried in the Morton Cemetery in Richmond.  I found her on Find A Grave.

I'm not exactly sure about the next photo, but I think it was taken when Highway 90A became a paved, two-lane road in 1927.  The unidentified men are probably state or county dignitaries.

The final article announces a significant industry honor for W. H. Louviere, Sr., President of Imperial from 1953 to 1964 and Vice Chairman of the Imperial Board in 1967.
