Mayor Chuck Trimble has proclaimed the week of May 29th
through June 4 , 1988 as BIRMINGHAM LAND TRUST WEEK.
The trust was established over forty-eight (48) years ago
by T. F. Birmingham and his wife Hattie Birmingham in
memorial for their son, Franklin Ovid Birmingham who passed
away in 1911 and is buried in the Wylie Cemetery.
The Birminghams wanted to provide enhanced educational
programs in the Wylie Schools primarily in the manual trades
and home economics departments. They later established a
smaller second trust to enhance the programs offered by the
school in advanced American History and advanced Chemistry.
The trust is governed by the Mayor and one member from each
of four churches, The First Baptist Church, the First
Christian Church, The First United Methodist Church and St .
Anthony Catholic Church.
The original trust assets were in the form of farm land,
however , the trust was amended and allowed to invest the
corpus of the assets in whatever markets would provide the
greatest return on the assets.
The Board is committed to the active management and building
of the trust net worth so that it can provide for further
enhancements to the schools programs. From reviewing the
trust documents the Board feels the philosophy of the
Birminghams was to give Wylie the resource of trained young
people in manual and technical skills. They are looking for
ways to ensure that this philosophy is carried out so that
the Wylie Community is made a better place to work and live.
Though the trust was originally funded by the Birminghams,
since the trust is a not-for-profit organization, people of
the Community are able to make tax deductible charitable
contributions to the Trust. If anyone is interested in any
information concerning the Trust, the Mayor or Tommy
Sessums, the Treasurer, are available to answer questions .
