Service Date: February 12, 2004

Sam P. Braswell was born March 17,1910, in Dallas, Texas. He moved to Clarendon, Texas during World War I where his father, Sam M. Braswell, published a newspaper for many years. After graduating from high school attended Clarendon Junior College and the University of Texas in Texas. At the University of Texas he played collegiate baseball and tennis. One of the most memorable baseball games was a scrimmage against Babe Ruth and the N.Y. Yankees.
August 10, 1930 Sam P. married Cecelia Atteberry. Their son Sam Harben Braswell was born July 16, 1931 in Pampa, Texas. In the fall of 1936 the Braswell family moved to Kerrville and joined the production staff at the Kerrville Mountain Sun, owned by Mrs. W. A. Salter. Sam P. was employed in Kerrville until 1941.
In 1941, Sam and Cecelia moved to Winnsboro, Texas to operate the Winnsboro Weekly News in the absence of the publisher who was called to serve our country during World War II. In 1944, the Braswell’s had an opportunity to purchase the Coleman Democratic-Voice newspaper. So they were on the move again. In 1947 they converted the weekly paper to a daily newspaper.
Succumbing to the desire to return to the Hill Country, in 1948, the Braswell’s purchased a co-ownership interest with G. Rankin Starkey , in the Kerrville Times. Three years later in March of 1951 the paper was converted from a weekly paper to a daily newspaper, going by the name it is known as today, The Kerrville Daily Times. The Braswell interest in the Times was sold in 1955.
Sam P. Braswell became The Victoria Advocate’s ( Texas second oldest newspaper) associate manager for the next five years. During this time his wife Cecelia served in the advertising department.
Returning to Kerrville in 1960, the family purchased the Fine Printing Co. from Haskell Fine and constructed a building on Junction Highway to house the expanding business. The name was changed to Braswell Printing Company and now is known as ADCO Advertising and Printing owned by Sam H. and Betty Braswell.
In 1977, Sam enjoyed the next 12 years at the Chas. Schreiner Bank in downtown Kerrville as their public relations representative while Cecelia was employed in the advertising department and helped with the Schreiner Ladies Club.
Sam enjoyed a minor role in politics, when the late Texas Governor Allan Shivers appointed the elder Braswell to a seven member task force to develop what is now known as the Texas Commission on Higher Education. He was an associate to the former State Representative and Texas Railroad Commissioner Jim Nugent as well as a Kerr County consultant and friend of our late President Lyndon Baines Johnson.
Sam always looked for the best in everyone and always had a smile on his face. He will be missed, especially by his wife of 73 years, Cecelia Braswell, a son Sam Harben Braswell of Kerrville (his wife Betty Jean Braswell), three grandchildren Samuel Lynn Braswell of San Antonio/Kerrville (his wife Rebecca Ann Braswell), Carol Denise Bernhard of Austin (her husband Robert Carlton Bernhard), Robin Aileen Perrin of Birresdorf, Germany (her husband John Eric Perrin), a niece Margaret Woods of Youngstown, Ohio(her husband Jim Woods and their children Jennifer, Brian, Travis) and six great grandchildren Samuel Taylor Braswell, Andrew Phillip Braswell, Megan Leigh Bernhard, Ryan David Perrin, Ashton Elise Perrin and Emma Renee Perrin.
