  Jesse Parker Schrier was born in Atascosa County, October 27, 1860.  He moved to Kimble
county in 1878--61 years ago--and has spent practically all his life in this section.  He
spent the greater part of his life in ranch activities, but was forced on account of ill
health and advancing years to retire from all active work six years ago.  He spent many years
on the Gully Cowsert ranch.
  He was married to Miss Frances Browning in 1882, and to this union were born 10 children.
Two sons preceded the father.  Survivors include his wife, four daughters, Mrs. Stella Davis,
Mrs. Robert Hunger, Miss Thelma Schrier and Miss Viola Schrier, all of Junction; and four 
sons--Noah Schrier, Mertzon; Jim Schrier, Hext; Chas. Schrier and Walter Schrier of Junction,
and 11 grandchildren.
  The deceased was popular with a large circle of friends and in the early day went up the
trail to Kansas City.  He numbered all the pioneer ranchmen as his personal friends.  His
life is inseparably linked with the cow business in this section of Texas where he labored.
