/j^HaithinGod can mo e mountains,
lH levators in this case, for Mrs.
vis Bryan.
_ Jrs. Bryan is one of the persons
I rviewed by students in the cul-
f li) 1 geography course at Texas
\| University this semester. The
lents’ assignment was to inter
y points toll ,v long-time residents of Brazos
$ levelsoflj mtyand get their reactions and
)tul in treat; jinents about life.
Irs. Bryan, born in 1896, said in
interview that she has an
vator installed in her home
r an. As she was preparing to leave
and Beseani a Ladies’ Circle Meeting at the
study slm irch, the elevator got stuck with
for me, even before I got involved in
school art classes.”
Sexton said her favorite subjects
are wildlife and landscapes.
She said when she feels overly ex
cited about a painting before it’s
finished, something inevitably hap
pens.
‘T was working hard on an oil
painting of a leopard not long ago and
I was feeling that it would really be
one of my finest works,” she said.
“I was sitting quietly appraising
the work I had done so far, when my
Irish Setter, Princess, came gallop
ing into the room. Before I could
stop her, she had her big paws in the
oil paint,” Sexton said. “Then she
became very affectionate and
smeared paint all over my clothes
and everything.
Sexton said the dog destroyed the
canvas and then ran all around the
room trying to prevent being caught.
Art is Sexton’s hobby. “I can’t af
ford to be a full-time artist, for
economic reasons,” she said.
“I realize that design artists and
commercial artists make a decent liv
ing, but the market for such profes
sionals is very crowded.”
She said she makes all the gifts she
gives for Christmas and birthdays.
Sexton said art has always been an
emotional release for her. “Children
should he encouraged to develop art
skills, if for no other reason (than
emotional release).
“I know that I can’t please every
body with my art,” she said. “And I
don’t paint for that reason. Art is a
very personal matter, a matter of
self-expression. ’’
Sexton said she sold her first paint
ing when she was a student at East
ern Hills High School in Ft. Worth.
“When another person can enjoy
something I paint, it doubles my
satisfaction.”

law, who lived next door, might
come outdoors and hear her yell.
About six or seven minutes after
her prayer, Mrs. Bryan had a feeling
that her daughter-in-law was outside
and began yelling. A short time later
her daughter-in-law found her and
■got her out. Later, Mrs. Bryan asked
her daughter-in-law why she had
come outside; she said that she had
been preparing to wash her hair
when she got the strangest feeling
that she must go outside.
Mrs. Bryan said of the incident,
“If anybody says that they don’t be
lieve in prayers, I don’t even listen to
them. ’
It seems like all of Mrs. Bryan’s
other prayers have been answered,
especially those having to do with
illness.
She was asked to be the principal
of a Bryan Baptist school when she
broke her ribs. With her unusual
faith, she prayed, “Lord, if you want
me to do this, I have to be healed. ” A
couple of days later she was healed
and was able to function as the prin
cipal, she said.
Her main purpose in life was to
spread the gospel, she said. Even
though she enjoyed living on earth,
she could not wait until the day she
would he with her Lord.
Two “Mr. and Mrs. Fred R. Jones
Scholarships in Agricultural En
gineering” have been established at
Texas A&M University.
Director of Development Robert
L. Walker said the $400 scholarships
for upperclassmen will become ef
fective for the 1976-77 school year.
Professor and Mrs. Jones made the
$12,000 endowment, with Dr. Ed
ward Hiler, head of the Agricultural
Engineering Department in atten
dance.
Professor Jones joined the staff at
Texas A&M in 1921 and in 1940 was
named head of agricultural engineer
ing. In 1946 his duties were ex
panded to include overall supervi
sion of research and extension as well
as instruction. When he retired in
1958, approximately 750 students
had received graduate and under
graduate degrees in agricultural en
gineering during his tenure.
He authored the textbook “Farm
Gas Engines and Tractors” pub
lished in 1932, 1938 and 1952. He is
a life member of the American Soci
ety of Agricultural Engineers, of
which he has been a member since
1917.
Jones also is a member of the
American Society of Engineering
Education, Alpha Zeta, Tan Beta Pi,
Phi Kappa Phi and is a registered
professional engineer in Texas.
Prof. Jones was recipient of the
1959 John Deere Medal for his nota
ble services to his profession and was
cited as “one of the great teachers
and administrators the agricultural
engineering profession has pro
duced.
