How it is shown: Excerpt as held; no crop, no retouch.

Keep in mind: What the page says: the paragraph praises Judge Winchester Kelso of Eagle Pass as 'just, equitable and fair, and an honest man', who was 'idolized by the law-abiding element and not hated by the other'; the excerpt is typeset text, not a facsimile of the book page, and the book's year is not shown on it (the book appeared in 1919). Whether this is our person: Likely, not Confirmed: a Judge Winchester Kelso of Eagle Pass fits the tree's Judge Winchester Kelso Sr. (1858-1925), who was county attorney and judge at Eagle Pass.
