Who’s Who in Tyler County #5: Medicine and Ministry
Write a comment
By Chuck Davidson
This series of articles focuses on my attempt to identify folks who were born in Tyler County or who lived/worked here and became recognized or famous or important or well known. I am omitting those currently alive (except for Hall of Famers) and I am only including folks in one field, even though some were famous in more than one. This is a very subjective list, and I am open to others who qualify. Please let Chris at the Booster know of additions or questions, by emailing him at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or calling 409-283-2516.
I am omitting what each person did as my goal is for readers to do some research on their own, if you do not know why or what someone did. Obviously, most folks are important, but some have gone the extra mile or done something unique or important that others celebrate, thus the reason they are on one of my seven lists: Arts and Entertainment, Athletics, Government/Law/Politics, Education/History, Medicine/Ministry, Business/Commerce and Pioneers.
All errors of course are mine and while I have shown dates of birth and death (if known) and general area of “fame”, I am open to others that I do not know.
I want residents of Tyler County to recall what each person listed has done, to stimulate some dinner table discussions, or have you do some of your own digging/research.
