"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 . . .

1931 :: No. 911 is no more
Sipe Springs, Oct. 26. -- Today witnessed the discontinuance of telephone line No. 911, about the oldest line around Rockdale. It was put up about twenty-five years ago and has served us well. We are sorry it is no more. The Rockdale Reporter and Messenger (Rockdale, Tex.), Vol. 59, No. 37, Ed. 1 Thursday, October 29, 1931 Page: 4 of 8
