359th Infantry Texas Brigade 1918

A unique item being catalogued for Aikin Regional Archives is “A Short History and Photographic Record of the 359th Infantry Texas Brigade, Lt. Col. W.A. Cavenaugh commanding, 1918.” It is illustrated with pictures of the members of the 359th. I’ve included a list of the counties making up the various companies whose members are pictured:

Co. A: Collins and Grayson
Co. B: Cooke, Denton, Parker, and Wise
Co. C: Johnson and Tarrant
Co. D: Ellis, Navarro, and Hill
Co. E: Delta, Fannin, and Lamar
Co. F: Dallas
Co. G: Anderson, Henderson, and Kaufman
Co. H: Hopkins, Hunt, Rockwall, and Van Zandt
Co. I: Franklin, Rains, Red River, Titus, and Wood
Co. K: Bowie, Cass, Camp, Marion, and Morris
Co. L: Cherokee, Rusk, and Smith
Co. M: Gregg, Harrison, Panola, and Upshire

Note: for some reason, there is no “Co. J” listed.

Officers from “E” Company were 1st Lts. W. B. Martin, A.S. Weaver, and John P.
Hopkins. 2nd Lts. were J.R. Cunningham, V.L. David, and Dean S. Barnard. Commanding was Capt. Fred N. Oliver.
