His father, John Birdwell, and his uncle, Reuel Birdwell came to Jack County in 1881. They were partners in the Birdwell general store for several years in Bryson, Texas. Pictures of the store suggest it was near downtown Bryson. Those pictures show the building was two-story and may have had the first elevator in the town.
