" THE CENTRAL "
•
The Houston and Texas Central Railway Company came into
I D existence in 1856. It is the oldest chartered railroad in the state. It is
currently owned by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. I Known as
the "Central" it stopped in Millican , eighty miles from Houston.
•
During the Civil War, it did it's best to keep itself in operating order,
but by the end of the war the machinery was in poor condition and no new
line had been laid. The Houston and Texas Central Railway found itself in
debt The debt had grown to one million dollars.
• By June 1, 1866, traffic and revenues on the railroad were increasing.
Expense were low and the railway had 342 employees. Times were good. By
1867, the H &TC was ready to start construction on the old roadway_ It was
the first railroad, in the state, to start rebuilding after the Civil War.
Bryan was reached by rail in 1867. By 1873, the H &TC had managed
to lay 507 miles of track There were 1078 track laid in Texas at the time
and the H &TC owned half of it. Denison was reached by the H &TC at the
same time as Dallas was reached by the Texas and Pacific (T &P). This
e
event contributed greatly toward the developement of Texas., These two
lines formed the first connections with railroads outside the state of Texas.
•
The H &TC connected with the Missouri Kansas and Texas (MK &T) line
• and the T &P connected
with the Missouri Pacific Raiiroad(MoPac).
This is what started interstate commerce between Texas and the rest of the
United States.
In the 1880's, passenger traffic was on the rise. In 1872 the H &TC
purchased the first 2 Pullman cars in the They were named the
"Houston" and the "Preston ". They were brought from New York and
shipped into Galveston. They were used on daily runs between Houston and
Dallas. The following year three more were added; the "Austin ", "San
Jacinto" and "Waco ". Soon after making the connection with the MK &T in
1873 through service was offered from Houston to Hannibal, MO and St.
Louis, Mo.
The H &TC became one of the leading railroads in Texas after reaching
Denison. Competition of the rival companies was on the increase. This made
C y the H &TC decide to start acquiring short lines and extensions. By doin g this,
they hoped to offset their rivals_ The fmanical pressure of operations
• became overbearing in 1885_
By January 1, 1885, the H &TC owned and controlled 338 miles of the
• main line and 470 miles of the short line_ It had added 290 miles of track in
• 12 years. The rival railroads had laid 4,879 miles of track in the same period
of time.
• There were no organizations or associations to regulate the railroads.
Passenger ticket sales were down in 1882. After through lines were built,
the New Orleans and New England no longer had the monopoly on trade in
the gulf ports_ Mr. Charles Morgan, a steamship line owner, tried to keep
hold of the gulf port trade for his own personal gain_ This also helped him to
acquire the H &TC in 1877. He succeeded in 1884_ Mr_ C. P. Huntington
took interest in Morgan's business ventures. Huntington acquired the
Galveston Houston and San Antionio (G.H. &S.A.), Texas and New Orleans
(T &NO),and several other Texas railroads. In April 1884, Morgan sold
Huntington 23,000 of 50,000 shares of the Morgan Louisianna and Texas
Railroad and Steamline Company(ML&TRR&SC). In 1885, Southern
Pacific leased the line. Southern Pacific was chartered on March 17, 1884
• under the laws of the state of Kentucky.
The H &TC was forced into receivership on Feburuary 23, 1885.
GI P James Rantoul, N.S. Easton and Charles Dillingham were appointed
Receivers. Dillingham remained the receiver after the other two men were
removed from the situation.. The ML&T acquired the H &TC with the Texas
tor
Central and the Waco and Northwestern (TC)and (W &NW)_ The new
company became known as the Texas Central (TC). The T.C. and W &NW
were also forced into receivership_
• The TC Railway consisted of two disconnected lines. One was from
Ross to Albany (177 miles)_ The other was from Gay, ett to Roberts (51
miles). These lines were sold in 1891. On October 27, 1892, a group of
men known as the "Committee of Purchase and Reorganization ", bought it.
The three men were Cornelius O_ Gold, Charles Morgan and Henry K.
McHarg. The new company of the Texas Central Railroad was organized on
December 16,1892. On October 27,1892, the Line from Garrett to Roberts
C or was sold to Mrs. Hetty Green. She was one of the richest and most powerful
women in the United States_ She was heavily invested in many railroads
throughout the country. She started the new Texas Midland Railroad
Company (T.M.R.R.).
• When the H &TC went into receivership, the W &NW went into
receivership on April 14,1885_ Charles Dillingham was receiver for this line
• too.
There were many court actions taken against the H &TC. Time came
to sell the railroad_ This was the most hard fought legal railroad battle in
• Texas. This placed Southern Pacific controlled by C.P.Huntington, against
Mrs. Hetty Green.
She blamed the receivership of the H &TC on Huntington_ Between
1884 and 1885, there were many serious accidents on the line. This resulted
in large settlements for deaths and injuries. She held a grugde against
Huntington until his death in 1900.
When the receivership began, two lines were lost and one was near to
the same fate. Court battles delayed the reorganization of the main line with
the western division,the Hempstead line.On September 8, 1888, Mr.
• Fredrick P. Olcoti, the President of the Central Trust Company of New
York City, acting as a purchasing trustee for the S.P_RR., bought the railroad
for $ 10,580,000.This purchase bought the Main line along with the Western
Division. The new railroad was organized under the laws of the state of
Texas and Olcott conveyed his rights to the company on August 1, 1899.
• The new company , the H &TC RAILROAD gained ifs assets and the old
company dissolved when litigation over the property had ended on October
5, 1895. The W &NW was not part of the line until September 3, 1895.
The control of the line did not begin until June 30, 1898.

• WELLBORN, TEXAS
Wellborn, on Farm Road 2154 (known as Wellborn Road) and the Southern Pacific
Railroad four miles east of College Station and eight miles west of Millican in
southem Brazos County, came into existence in 1867 as a railroad construction
camp of the Houston and Texas Ceiibal Railroad. it was part of the northeast comer
of the A. M. McMahon grant. John and Thomas Royder of Rock Prairie Community
established the first store and erected a cotton gin and lumberyard. Wellborn
became a shipping point for cattle. In 1868 the community name used in the post
office petition was Welibom's Station, but the possessive was dropped after 1871.
r..
By 1885 the village had a population of fifty, a school, two churches, a steam
gristmill, and a cotton gin. In 1904 -05, the school had forty-four pupils and one
teacher. The population reached 400 by 1910 but had declined to forty by 1950,
probably due to the rise of the nearby Bryan - College Station. By 1987 the
population in Wellborn was 100. In 1990 the town had twenty businesses, a
community center, a post office, and the Wellborn Water Utilities. (1)
This town began in 1867 as a railroad construction camp of the HT&C. The
village was named after E. W. Wellborn, who owned land in the area before the Civil
War. (2) The sons of Adam Royder of the Rock Prarie Community were early
founders
e
• of Wellborn. Thomas Harvey Royder succeeded his brother Jeff as postmaster. He
also introduced red poled cattle in the area. Habirtonian horses and Poland China
• swine, and the shipment of cattle and other livestock became an important
enterprise. John and Thomas Royder established the first store at Welborn and
erected a cotton gin and a lumberyard.
Wellborn grew but was never an incorporated town. In 1896, its population
was reduced by one of Brazos County's unsolved murders and a number of its
buildings were destroyed by two fires. In April 1896, Joseph Barrow, HT&C station
master, was killed by a shot fired through the station window. A few months later,
his parents, his wife and four children narrowly escaped from their burning home in
• the middle of a mid - summer night Mrs. Thomas Barrow however, i
� , inhaled a
considerable amount of smoke when she returned to the burning house, believing
that her grandbaby was still in it. She developed pneumonia and died.
The Barrow family moved to Bryan, abandoning the lumberyard business
which Joseph Barrow and his father, Thomas Barrow had operated. The latter died a
year later— of a broken heart according to Minnie Barrow Walker, his oldest
grandchild who lived through the events.
• The other buildings destroyed in the fires of 1896 was the Wellborn Bapist
Church. The Barrow family had contributed to the erection of this building, and Mrs.
(sr Joseph Barrow had been the church organist (3)..

WELLBORN CEMETERY
The Wellborn Cemetry was already established by 1875.
According to the deeds at the Brazos County Courthouse, the
property that is known as the Wellborn Cemetery is located
in Block 10 of the Samuel Davidson League from 2818, take
Farm to Market Road 2154, seven miles to Wellborn, turn
IC;
left onto Greens Prairie Road, go two city blocks to the
entrance of the Wellborn Cemetery on the right.
The history of this plot of lands starts with the
Houston & Texas Central Railroad Company. As the railroad
moved north toward Bryan from Millican, land was bought for
right -of -ways and for the actual roadway for the track
itself. Land was bought in huge lots. Acres upon acres
were acquired. Later, the railroad fell on hard times and
some of the lots of land had to be sold. This, as I know
it, is how the cemetery began.
W.T. Johnson and his wife purchased Block 10 of the
Samuel Davidson League from the H &TC on June 25, 1889, on a
promissory note. They paid $352.00. Mr. Charles
Dillingham was the receiver for the railroad. The lot
contained fifty acres, less three acres, occupied by a
church and a cemetery.(1)
Two years later, the Johnsons sold the land to John H.
Royder and Thomas H. Royder known as the firm of John H.
Royder and Bros. The brothers acquired the fifty acres,
less the three acres for the church and cemetery for
• $882.00. One acre of land was sold to D.M. Ewing, leaving
46 acres in Block 10.(2) The field notes for the cemetery
are as follows:
Beginning on a stake on league line of McMahon Survey;
thence S 45 *E 70 varas to a stake; Thence N 65 -1/2 E 180
varas to a stake; Thence N 45 W 130 varas to a stake on
league line; Thence S 45* W with said line 168 varas to the
beginning 3 acres. (3)
There are 112 occupants who were born on or before
1900.(4) Among them lie the founding fathers of
Wellborn,(5), early settlers of Brazos County, (6), a Civil
War veteran (7), several Masons, Eastern Stars, and
• Woodsmen of the World.(8) Along with a number of
postmasters of the Wellborn Post Office (9), school
trustees (10), school teachers (11), who taught at the
• Wellborn School, World War I, World War II, Korea, and
Vietnam veterans (12), and the common settlers who worked
the soil and helped build the very towns and cities we live
111 in today.
• The oldest graves belong to the Farquhar children
(13). They are Claud D. (1887 - 1889), Pauline (1882- 1887),
John Demit (1885- 1887), Albert 0. (1876 - 1886), and Eva
(1880 - 1886). Their parents were J.N. and L.F. Farquhar.
Were they victims of the terrible epidemics of the late
1800s? Died they all die of natural causes? No one knows.
Burying the children seemed to become a common
occurrence in Wellborn. Many other families found
• themselves placing an angel into God's hands. There are
many headstones that have angels on them. Several have
baby shoes, hats, bonnets, and toys on them. The following
are the names of other children who are in the cemetery:

There are seven unknowns lying within the cemetery.
Some are not marked. Some have a rock as a headstone. I
was told by Louise Wade that the graves were marked, but
over the years, new caretakers have removed the rocks not
• knowing they were serving an important purpose. Two of the
unknowns are lying on the southside of the Norwood family
plot, between the Royders and the Norwoods. The graves are
marked only by two rocks lying next to and under a tree.
•
Many other pioneers of Brazos County are inside this
• cemetery. They traveled from foreign soil and other states
for the dream of a new life in Texas. They were not just
• the everyday farmers, housewives, immigrants, and
craftsmen, they were the life -blood of the communities they
lived in.
11 10 So this is why this paper was written; to preserve the
heritage that lies within the fence of Wellborn Cemetery. A
past, that I am very proud of.
