"Rockdale, my hometown, is Texas' heart and significant part of its soul," George Sessions Perry wrote in his book, Texas: A World Unto Itself. Perry wrote with lifelong affection about his hometown, first as a novelist and later as a magazine journalist. He describes the pioneers of Rockdale as typical of restless Southerners who hitched their wagons and moved to Texas after the Civil War. . . . Clay Coppedge . . .

1923 :: Ladies of the Cemetery Association
The Reporter is again asked by the ladies of the Cemetery Association to state that donations of old cast iron pipe are solicited for the purposes of marking old unknown graves in the local cemeteries. The ladies propose to take this old pipe, paint it white, cut it into suitable lengths and mark all graves that are not otherwise marked. Anyone having any quantity of old waterpipe on hand who will contribute it to this cause will confer a favor by telephoning Mrs. C.M. Sessions. Rockdale Reporter and Messenger, April 5, 1923
