William Carter married Maude Lenore Holley Jan. 16, 1879, in Pennington, Trinity Co., Texas.
CARTER, WILLIAM T.
The career of Mr. Carter involves the great lumber interests of southeast Texas as prominently as that of any other man. He is one of the largest timber operators of this section of Texas. Following in the footsteps of his father, he has been identified with the business over thirty years, has been a factor in the development of the industry and has prosecuted it during the period of greatest activity. Large railroad and financial enterprises also bear the stamp of his name and influence. His career is part of the history of southeast Texas.
He was born at Tyler, Smith County, Texas, February 4, 1856. His father and mother were Joseph John and Jane (Anderson) Carter, both natives of Georgia, and of old American families. Their seven sons and one daughter were: Christopher B., now deceased; John J.; William T.; Hubbard, who died in infancy; Ernest A., of the firm of W. T. Carter & Brother; Lucien C.; Clarence L., member of the Houston bar; and Claudia G. The father of this family was one of the early lumbermen of Wood County. He located near the present town of Mineola in 1857. During the war he was captain of Colonel Hubbard's regiment of Walker's division. His chief work during many years of his life was as an educator. After the close of the war he taught school in different counties, including Smith, Rusk, Cherokee and Angelina. He lived to venerable years, dying in 1907. His wife, Jane (Anderson) Carter, was a sister of the noted Confederate leader, Tom Anderson, best known in historical accounts as "Tige Anderson." Another family connection was Governor Hubbard of Texas, who was a nephew of the late Joseph J. Carter.
In 1872 Mr. Carter's father re-entered the lumbering and milling business at Trinity in Trinity County. In this he was succeeded in 1878 by his sons, William T. and Ernest A. The firm of W. T. Carter & Brother since that date have occupied a foremost position in the lumber industry. From Trinity they moved their headquarters to Barnum, in Polk County, in 1882, and continued there until the plant was destroyed by fire in 1897. Since then the location of their mills has been Camden, in Polk county. The manufacture comprises all kinds of yellow pine lumber.
Mr. Carter is a stockholder and director in the Carter-Kelly Lumber Company of Manning, Angelina County; is vice president of the Union Bank and Trust Company of Houston; vice president of the Citizens' National Bank of Livingston; president of the Moscow, Camden & San Augustine Railroad, and director in the H. E. & W. T. Railroad. He is a member of the Thalian Club, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the Houston Country Club and the Houston Board of Trade. The family attend the Baptist church.
He married, in 1878, Miss Maude Holly, of Pennington, Trinity County, where her father, Porter J., was a pioneer settler. Their six children are: Lena, wife of J. J. Carroll; Jessie, wife of Dr. J. L. Tay lor, a surgeon in the United States navy; William T, Jr., an adopted son, manager of W. T. Carter & Brother Building Company of Houston, and Agnes, Aubrey and Frank, all now at school.istorical Review of South-East Texas and the Founders, Leaders and Representative Men, Vol 2, by Dermot Hardy and Maj.
