He always made money, but had no disposition to amass wealth until after his marriage. He is now the owner of six brick storehouses, four resi- dences, two frame storehouses, several unimproved blocks in the city, and about four hundred acres of wild lands in Tarrant and Jolinson counties. Probably the value of his city property and lands is $25,000. He owes his sueecss to promptness in business matters. He is orderly and systematic in all his affairs. For many years he has been a hard sttalent and his books have engaged muell of his attention. He stands well in the community as an honorable man in all his dealings. He is a safe, reliable business man, but his practice has been that of an office, rather than a courthouse lawyer. He is even-tempered, jovial and social, and probably the most systematic business man in lus city.

In person he is five feet and eight and a half inches in height, weighs one hundred and eighty- five pounds, is portly and muscular, with clear complexion, blue eyes and a generally healthy


and robust appearance. His brain is large and intellectuality is unusually well developed. Ile is vivacious and affable, but is fond of a quiet life."


ACCOMMODATIONS AND TRAIN SERVICE BETWEEN TEXAS, ST. LOUIS AND THE NORTH, EAST AND WEST.


The Iron Mountain Route is the short line between all important points in Texas and Little Rock, Memphis and St. Louis, having three daily trains in both directions between Texas points and St. Louis. All these trains enter the magnificent new Union Station at St. Louis, where direct con- nections are made for the East, North and South, with all outgoing and incoming trains. The Texas special, with through Pullman Buffet Sleeping cars between Laredo, San Antonio, Galveston, Fort Worth, Dallas, and St. Louis, has long been the favorite train between Texas. St. Louis and the North and East. The schedule of this train is very fast, and the equipment is the most modern, being vestibuled throughout, and lighted by the famous Pintsch Gas Light System.


The other trains that are scheduled for the per- formance of first-class passenger duty between Texarkana, Little Rock, Memphis and St. Louis are the Forth Worth & Dallas Express, and the California, El Paso and Texas Express. The former carries a complement of Chair Cars and Day Coaches to Memphis, arriving at the lower Mississippi River Gateway for breakfast. while the latter train with similar equipment enters the Ten- nessee City in the evening, thus opening up a most admirable route to the Southeast and to the lower Atlantic Seaboard. Pullman Buffet Sleeping Cars


and Reclining Chair Cars (in which the seats are free ) are also run through to St. Louis, these same trains performing the service.


As a highway from Eastern and Southern Texas to the trade centers between the Alleghenies and the Rockies, this popular route offers diverse avenues, either of which are at once acceptable when their advantages are known. The line via Memphis is the best for all points in the Southeast, and the one via St. Louis is the shortest, quickest and best equipped for the North, East and West, and the one via Little Rock, known locally as " The Wagoner Route," for the great West and Northwest.


The Texas Fast Mail, which carries the through Pullman Sleeping Cars between St. Louis, El Paso and California points, has revolutionized the Government mail service between the East, North and the Great Southwest by placing Texas in closer communication with the business interests of the far North and East by from eight to fifteen hours. A visit to the immense train sheds of the Union Station, St. Louis, during the morning or evening will disclose as fine equipped trains as can be found anywhere, well filled with passengers to or from Texas, which in itself is a commendation of the Iron Mountain Route's claim as a superior line, whose motto is " TEXAS TO THE WORLD."

JOHN PETER KELSEY, RIO GRANDE CITY.


The Hon. John P. Kelsey is a native of the Empire State, having been born in the now city of Poughkeepsie, Duchess County, N. Y., January 11, 1818. His father, James Kelsey, was a master- mechanic and an architect and builder, and also perfected himself as a general carpenter, joiner and ship-carpenter. He married Rachel Dubois. They reared a family of ten children, only the youngest of whom was a daughter.


John Peter Kelsey, of whom we here write, was the fourth born of nine sons and, like his elder and younger brothers, learned his father's trade and became a master-mechanic. Our subject was an ambitious and restless youth of twenty years when - he left the parental roof, and was possessed more . or less of the spirit of adventure and a burning desire to see and " get on " in the world. Accord- ingly, in January, 1838, he packed his tools, bid adieu to home and friends, and went to Bingham- ton, in Broome County, N. Y., where he worked for five months at his trade. Later he pursued his trade in Brooklyn, New York City, and Charles- ton, S. C. In 1839 he came to Texas as mas- ter-mechanic under contract with Messrs. A. H. Southwick & Bros., of New York, who were en route for Galveston, which our subject reached in December of that year, with a cargo of building material and supplies. He remained in Galveston about eight months, in the meantime engaging in speculation and merchandising. In 1810 he went to Corpus Christi with a stock of arms, ammunition and supplies, which he, in company with the late and well-known Paul Bremond, had purchased with a view to selling and delivering to General Canales.


The contemplated sale and delivery was success- fully accomplished, and they afterwards left Cor- pus Christi with the revolutionary party, which consisted of about 120 Texas mounted volunteers, and 160 mounted Mexican renegades. The whole affair, as a revolutionary movement, proved a roar- ing farce and a clever subtifuge to cross into Mexico a lot of merchandise and munitions free of duty, as no sooner had Canales reached Mexico than he went through the form of a surrender to the author- ities at Camargo and joined in a celebration of the event.


The Texas contingent was sent by a different and longer route to Mexico than that taken by the Mexi- cans themselves and upon their arrival some days later, learned to their dismay and chagrin of the clever practical joke of which they had been made the victim. They, of course, having scanty supphes and little ammunition, disbanded, some returning to Corpus Christi. The field officers and merchants, upon invitation of the Mexican author-


ities, went immediately to Camargo, ostensibly to receive pay for their trouble. Our subject aceom- panied them, but having no faith in the promises of the Mexicans to pay, he promptly sought and found employment at his trade, making the favorable ac- quaintance of Don Mateas Ramirez, a wealthy an influential Spanish gentleman, receiving from hin profitable employment and many social and bus- iness courtesies. Through this distinguished friend he made the acquaintance also of Gen. Arista, who soon made a transfer of his troops from Cam- argo to - Matamoros and cordially invited our subject to accompany them, which invitation he accepted, and at Matamoros, with other Texian comrades, embarked, via Brazos Santiago, on the schooner Watchman for New Orleans, in March, 1841, and from that city returned to Galveston, during the same month. There he met a brother and others of the family, who had come to Texas in the meantime. With money advanced by this brother, Mr. Kelsey purchased an assorted stock of merchandise and sailed again for Corpus Christi, up to that time, however, known as Aubury and Kinney Ranche. There Mr. Kelsey commenced selling goods in a canvas tent near the beach, finally replacing it with a frame building about twenty feet square, in which he continued to do business until September, 1842. Then, owing to the extremely unsettled condition of affairs on the frontier of Texas, trade had so far declined as to make his stay unprofitable and he migrated once more to the city of New Orleans. It is of interest here to state that while located on Corpus Christi bay, Mr. Kelsey ordered his not inconsiderable mail addressed to Corpus Christi, there being no land point on the maps indicating as to where he was located. The mail coming by vessels and schooners, he was therefore easily located by them and his mail faithfully delivered. It is from this · fact and incident that the present promising city of Corpus Christi derived its name.


In New Orleans, Mr. Kelsey again resumed work at his trade, opening a house and ship-carpenter- ing shop in Tehopitonlas street. This move was not profitable and he, after making a business trip to New York, returned to New Orleans, purchased another stock of goods, and December 1st, 1843, found him once more in business at his old store at Corpus Christi. The following March he took in a partner, one Richard H. Leach, and enlarged the business, and up to May, 1845, had disposed of a large quantity of goods at very satisfactory profits.


Our subjeet then left his partner with their Cor- pus Christi store and, in company with a party of fourteen Mexican traders, made a trip to Camargo,


760


INDIAN WARS AND PIONEERS OF TEXAS.


Mexico. The journey was not made without encounters with Indians in Mexico and incidents characterized by more or less excitement and peril. While at Camargo, he learned through the friendly confidence of two of his former Mexican friends, that a party of marauding Mexicans were there, organizing to march upon Corpus Christi to masss- cre the people and pillage and burn the town. Upon learning of this contemplated raid upon .the town, Mr. Kelsey set out immediately for home and arrived there in time to prepare the people for the reeep- tion of the party. Mr. Kelsey thereafter re- mained at Corpus Christi until 1848, when he moved to Rio Grande City and engaged in mer- chandising. In 1856 he was elected Chief Justice 'now styled County Judge) of Starr County. In 1859 he was examined and admitted to practice law in the courts of the State.


Judge Kelsey's extensive and growing business interests have ever precluded even a thought of practicing law, even in the local courts, although often pressed to do so. Up to 1860 he pursued the even tenor of his occupation as merehant, attending quietly also to his official duties at Rio Grande City. Although a life-long and loyal Democrat, he had


been reared in the Jacksonian school of his party and was unalterably opposed to the promulgated doctrine of secession, upon the firm conviction that it was wrong and would bring disaster and deso- lation upon the country. He assumed, therefore, s neutral attitude, and when Texas left the Union, he left the State, transferring his mercantile opera- tions to Camargo, Mexico, where he did an exten- sive and profitable business until 1879, a period of about eighteen years, and then returned to Rio Grande City aud resumed business at his old stand.


In 1882 he was again elected County Judge of Starr County. He was re-elected in 1886 and1888.


Mr. Kelsey married, in October, 1847, Miss Amanda Brooks, of Corpus Christi, and formerly of Marietta, Ohio. She is a lady of many charming qualities of mind and heart and has, for nearly half at eentury, shared with him the pleasures of a uniformly happy domestie life. They have one daughter, Anna.


In what may be termed the evening of life, still in full possession of all his faculties and blessed with a vigorous constitution, he leads the quiet and peaceful business life that becomes " the sage of the Rio Grande Valley."


D. R. WINGATE,


ORANGE.


Judge D. R. Wingate, of Orange, Texas, was boru February 20th, 1819, in Darlington District, South Carolina. His father, Robert P. Wingate, was born in North Carolina, and his mother, Phar- aba (Kelly) Wingate, in South Carolina. Ile was educated in the public schools of Mississippi, walk- ing three miles to the school house. He came to Texas in 1845 with Judge Martin Fard and W. F. Sparks, remained in the State about a month and then returned to Mississippi. In April, 1852, he returned to Texas, loeating at Belgrade in Newton County, where he remained until 1858, and then moved to Sabine Pass, where he engaged in the milling business and owned the largest mill in the South. He remained at Sabine Pass until during the war between the States, then removed to New - ton County, where he remained until 1874, and then went to Orange and again engaged in the lumber business, building the Orst improved mill erected at that place. Later, after suffering heavily from two large fires, he formed and organized a stock company and built the mill which he is now oper- ating and which now has the largest capacity of any in the town. His first commercial ventures were in stock-raising and milling in Louisiana in 1846. His success in life is to be attributed to energy, strict integrity, capacity to plan and exe- cute, and untiring attention to business. Starting froin the lowest rung, when mills were only sup- plied with the old whip-saw, Mr. Wingate has steadily made his way upward to his present posi- tion as one of the leading mill-owners and financiers in the South. He is a leading authority on all matters pertaining to saw-milling, having been en- gaged in the business during the greater part of fifty years. Notwithstanding the fact that during


this time he has lost over half a million dollars by fire, his perseverance and business abilities have placed him again in the lead, and prosperity now crowns his efforts. One of the noticeable features of his career is that he has always taken advantage of the opportunities that are incident to the open- ing up and development of new countries. During the late war, being too old for active service in the field, he stayed at home and helped protect and support the wives and children of Confederate soldiers at the front.


At the beginning of the war he was appointed Marshal of Southern Texas by Gen. Eber, and intrusted with the duty of examining people coming into and going out of the country. In 1863 he was elected County Judge of Newton County, and served as such until 1867, in that capacity render- ing the country valuable service. He was cousid- ered one of the ablest County Judges in the State. IIs is a Royal Arch Mason, and has been a member of the fraternity for over fifty years.


Judge Wingate was married, September 19, 1839, to Miss Caroline Morgan, of Mississippi, who died February 4, 1890, at Orange, Texas. Seven chil- dren were born to them, four of whom are living, viz. : Mittie E., wife of Maj. B. H. Norsworthy, of Orange ; Robert P., a farmer living near Orange'; W. J., a lawyer at Ballinger, Texas, and cashier of the Ballinger National Bank ; and D. R. Win- gate, Jr., a lumberman, at Uvalde, Texas. Judge Wingate owns a large rice farm about six miles from Orange, where he spends a part of his time in recuperating his health. He is as supple as many men of forty or fifty years of age, his mind being as clear and vigorous as at any time in earlier days.
