Smoking Meats and Delighting Texans Since 1882 Southside Market was started by William Moon in 1882 when Moon began raising and slaughtering animals on FM 1704 in Elgin. As was the case before refrigeration, he had to sell it fresh or lose it to spoilage. As a result, Moon began smoking and barbecuing his meats, and the rest is history. Moon continued his popular butcher and meat-smoking business until he sold it in 1908 to Lee Wilson, who continued to serve the Elgin community as the small town butcher shop that sold BBQ in the back. The current owners of Southside Market & Barbeque, Bryan & Rachel Bracewell, are the third generation of Bracewells to run the Southside Market. In fact, when native Texans, Ernest and Adrene Bracewell bought Southside Market & BBQ in 1968, Mr. Bracewell delivered meats to area grocers, including a then small H. E. Butt Grocery Co. He also offered Southside’s homemade Elgin Hot Sausage to the stores, and the Elgin Hot Gut legend began to grow.
