I am not sure whether this will work. When I loaded this video on Facebook it would not play though I do not know why: The video on my computer will not copy here. Maybe if you have VLC Media Player it would work. Facebook. https://hostnew.onlineconverter.com/.../11e5f10c.../download

The article below is from a post by Peggy Weyel of the Somerset Historical Society called ""OLD TIME, MEDINA AREA MEDICINE"
"DR. DENSON ELLIS HILTONAfter 1910 Bexar Settlement or Community was no longer the center of commerce in the area. A small community created in 1908-1909 on the Artesian Belt Railroad about 1.5 miles east of Bexar Settlement, replaced Bexar. The new town, called Somerset, would have a doctor, too.
Dr. Denson E. Hilton arrived from medical school in Mississippi to establish himself in Dr. Matthews home near the corner of Kinney Road and Pain (Payne) Road in the Bexar Community by 1910. He, his wife Ida and son D. E. Jr., lived next to Joe Fowler and Lee Johnson, just down the road from Pat Kinney, Tom Kinney, and Luther James.
An interesting look at Dr. Hilton’s World War I Draft Registration of 1918 say he was “born 21 May 1880” and is a “medical student.” Other information shows him to be of “medium height, medium build, blue eyes and brown hair.” Fred C. James, the draft registrar for the area, writes that he is physically “all right.” He and his wife Ida report that their permanent home address and place of business is the same: House #57, RFD #1, town of Atascosa, Bexar County, Texas.
Dr. Hilton in 1920 was still living in the Bexar Community area on Bexar Road near Briggs Road with his wife, son and 3 boarders one of whom was an automobile mechanic and two were school teachers.
By 1922, at age 42, Dr. Hilton, was dead of an “abscess of the lung. Mr. B. B. Pyron of Somerset was the informant on the Texas Death Certificate. Dr. Hilton’s body was returned to be buried near his family home in Braxton, Simpson County, Mississippi.
Ida Hilton Oliver, daughter of A. M. Pyron and Virginia Blackburn of Somerset area, stayed in the Somerset area, and was buried in Bexar Cemetery following her death on July 19, 1962. Their son D. E. Hilton, Jr. lived in Beeville. According to Ida’s obituary there were also two other daughters and sons, not named."
"According to Bernard Pyron, “Dr. D. E. Hilton was the first husband of my aunt Ida, and Patricia (Patricia Kenney Anderson) says she divorced him.” She says Dr. Hilton and Dr. Touchstone once operated out of the same office. She also said that Dr. Ware had his Somerset office either in the back of Tom Kenney’s store or in that area where the drug store was located."
The Somerset doctors worked out of an office in the back of the Shannon Drug store in Somerset.
Here are some really ancient Bulldogs named, from 1924: " Somerset’s first score, a touchdown came in the first minute of play as “Brotherman kicked off and Hickman returned it to the Somerset 30 yard line...James and Langston pulled a fake play, the latter carrying the ball 70 yards for a touchdown. Harvey added the extra point on a place kick.”
Teams played back and forth in the second and third quarters with no advantage to either side.
“In the fourth quarter James and Surtees of Somerset pulled another fake play that netted 30 yards. A long pass, James to Harvey got the ball to the 7-yard line and Langston’s run around end got the touchdown. Harvey again got the extra point. Two more James to Harvey passes and another Harvey field goal made the final score 17-0.
Members and positions of those on the Somerset squad were (no first names given):
L. Langston Left End Stevens Right Guard
E. C. Heickman Left Tackle Meyers Right Tackle
E. A. Heickman Left Guard
Hilton Right End
W. Heickman Center C. Weideman Quarterback
James Left Halfback Surtees (Capt.)...Right Halfback
Harvey Fullback
Substitutes: G. Wideman (Note: Brackenridge JV had 11 substitutes)
Officials: C. Wideman (Somerset), Referee; Cockim (Somerset) Head Lines-man. Time of quarters: 10 minutes.
Hilton at right end is Ida Pyron Hilton Oliver's only son. We called him Johnny , but I looked him up on www.familyearch.org https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M2MT-WRC and it sayshisnamewas D.E. Hilton , age one in the 1910 census.
I am an ancient Bulldog - Left Tackle on the 1948 Bulldog starting lineup, but not nearly as ancient as Johnny Hilton. I remember that part of his football suit was in the room behind the A.M, Pyron house.
