  • A History of The
    A HISTORY OF THE PORT NECHES INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT Early Days to 1975 The following brief history of Port Neches schools relied on the works of three authors: Erleen Allred, W.T. Block, and Buck Ford. This sketchy historical overview of education in the Port Neches community from the earliest known days is a merger of information found in the three authors’ printed manuscripts. Others sources were also utilized. Mrs. Erleen Allred did an extensive amount of research and completed a document in 1976 relying greatly on interviews of long-time Port Neches resident and former school district employee Mr. E.S. Bellair. Mr. Bellair, 75 when interviewed, spent countless hours taxing his memory and talking with other residents who lived during the early school years. Among those he talked with were Roy East, Masil Smith, W.T. Block, Aaron Keith, Harry Beaumont, Oscar, Claudia, and Seawillow Whittington, Frank Crawford, Mrs. H.H. (Edna) Hodges, Mrs. Era Block Henderson, and William DeBlanc. Mrs. Lena Hawthorne, long-time high school history teacher, also supplied a few facts on the early history. Mr. Bellair relied on The School Review of Jefferson County, Texas, 1921, to supply most of the information for 1921. That review was published with the assistance of Miss Mildred Parks, of the China school, and Mr. J.H. Hicks, Superintendent of the Port Neches school. Mr. Bellair also used the little history book of the First United Methodist Church of Port Neches written by Mr. and Mrs. W.E. Parsons for some of his input. Records from the 1920s were found at the Port Neches ISD administration office.

    244 2019 IOWA CONFERENCE JOURNAL IX. MEMOIRS Editor’s Note: For record of charges served see the Pastoral Record of this Journal. Memoirs received after June 30, 2019 will appear in the 2020 Journal. A. ELDERS BYRON WILTON AYERS Byron was born on his family’s farm outside of Dew, TX on October 15, 1925, as the 7th of 9 children. He was an exceptional student in grade school and at Teague High School where he was co-valedictorian of the Class of 1943. He joined the Navy in 1943 and was undergoing pilot training just as the war ended. In 1946 he married Betty Ruth Koningsmark. He served in the Naval Reserves until 1947 and attended Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, IA, on the GI Bill. Upon his graduation, he went on to the Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, IL. After graduating from Garrett, he joined the Iowa United Methodist Conference where he served 10 churches during his career as a pastor including Bertram, Davenport, Mapleton/Ticonic, Rockford/Marble Rock, West Union, Winterset/Patterson, and Emmetsburg. He also served as Secretary to the Iowa General Conference from 1980 to 1988. Upon his retirement in 1989 after 40 years of service, he and Betty bought a house in Emmetsburg, but lived the “snowbird” life with a residence in Mesa, AZ, which was near two of their four children. They eventually moved to Mesa full-time in 1997. During his retirement years, Rev. Ayers kept active in the church teaching adult Bible study courses and occasionally preaching as a substitute pastor at Velda Rose UMC.
