REALITOS—Peter McBride, 94, native of Corpus Christi and one of the oldest ranchers and dairymen in Southwest Texas, died this morning at his home. Rosary will be recited at 8 p.m. today at Maxwell P. Dunne Funeral Home. Funeral mass will be at Corpus Christi Cathedral at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow with burial in Rose Hill Cemetery. McBride had been in failing health for the past two years, but prior to that had been active and drove his own car. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. James McBride, who came to Corpus Christi before the Civil War. Peter was born in 1863, the third son in the family. Mrs. McBride, who survives him, is the former Minnie Alice Priour, daughter of the Julian Priors. The couple celebrated their 67th wedding anniversary last August. McBride had his first schooling in Fairview School, where the present Alice B. Savage School is located, and later attended the Campion's private school which was started in the late 1870's. It was during his school days in Corpus Christi, McBride recently recalled, that the bay froze over. In talking with friends he also told of the bandit raids on Nuecestown, the yellow fever plague and the ox trains and steamer landings, all part of Corpus Christi's early history. McBride's father was a pioneer dairyman in Corpus Christi and from the time his son could be of help he assisted with the daily chores. At the age of 17 he joined the delivery crew, using horses and wagons to make milk deliveries to the customers. After McBride married, the couple continued their farming and ranching until 1913, when they moved to San Diego and shortly after moved to Realitos. He leased land and ran big steers on the property. He later had a commercial herd composed of Herefords, Durhams and "ordinary cattle." In addition to his own ranching interests, McBride also was employed by Ed. C. Lasater for about 11 years. About that time he bought his present holdings, consisting of 3,300 acres, where he had been raising Herefords. Surviving, besides his wife, are four sons, G. F. McBride and Dennis P. McBride of Realitos; James McBride of Encino and C. J. McBride of Laredo; three daughters, Mrs. C. C. Roddy, Realitos; Mrs. R. J. Victor of Corpus Christi, and Mrs. L. H. Maloy of Waco; a sister, Mrs. Julia Robinson, Corpus Christi; 31 grandchildren and 33 great-grandchildren.
