Bee County is in the Rio Grande plain of
south central Texas, fifty miles northwest of Corpus Christi and 146 miles
southeast of Austin. It is bordered on the north by Karnes and Goliad counties,
on the east by Refugio County, on the south by San Patricio County, and on the
west by Live Oak County. Beeville is the county's largest town and seat of
government.
Bee County was established shortly after the settlement of the Cart War,
which originated ten miles east of the site of Beeville. The county, named for
Barnard E. Bee, Sr., was formed from San Patricio, Goliad, Refugio, Live Oak,
and Karnes counties on December 8, 1857, and officially organized on January
25, 1858, when the first officers were elected. Beeville, the first county
seat, was on Medio Creek, near Medio Hill, where the first post office had been
established in 1857. In 1860 Maryville became county seat; this community was
later designated Beeville-on-the-Poesta to distinguish it from the former
county seat.
The bulk of the material consists of
obituaries, arranged alphabetically by the surname of the deceased, which were
clipped from various Bee County newspapers. Some clippings are pasted on pages
with others and therefore out of order. Also included are newspaper clippings
about other events in Bee County, arranged chronologically, and short reports
written about Bee County cities and notable sites, arranged alphabetically by
place.
