Oldest House In Yoakum ....
COLONEL URIAH LOTT PLANNED TOWN ON COUNTY LINE
(Our columnist Willis Hinds
comes to tho rescue. A notice
appeared in the Herald-Times
recently which explained that
tho Yoakum Garden Club wants
to find the oldest house in Yon
kum. There was no rush for this
singular distinction, ns a mat-
ter of fact, none at all. Now*
comes Mr. Hinds and proposes
that the Koerth home is the
oldest. Is this correct? — Ed.)
— By Willis llimls —
We read in the paper where
a search is on for the oldest
house in Yoakum. Now. if I was
in this search I’d center mv ef-
forts around the old freight do-
not, on South Street, as it was
right along there where the
first buildings were erected.
Ycu see, when Col. Uriah Lott
w a s building his railroad
through DeWitt Countv he had
In his mind to establish a new
town right on the Lavaca Coun-
ts line, as soon ns he reached
that point, and when he did
reach the Lavaca County line,
we can just visualize* him walk-
Horace Boothe log up to that lino and placing
tot?.
his staff, with those words, "I
now herewith plant my staff,
and on this spot a new town
will be established, and it shall
be called, ‘Yoakum’, in honor
of our great and efficient Traf-
fic Manager, Benjamin Franklyn
Yoakum.”
He then started laying out
some tracks to form a freight
vard and storing of railroad
eouipment and material. No con-
struction of any railroad build-
ings were started until the fol-
lowing voar of 1888. A small
store building was erected by
J. P. Jamison, of Hallettsville,
about where Tim Cook’s Po’
Pov Grocery Store now stands,
then when a post office was
established, it was located in
this store, and Mr. Jamison,
was Yoakum’s first Postmaster.
Then houses began to spring
up just across the tracks from
the freight depot. Another store
was soon opened on the corner,
across Front Strort. from the
freight depot, where Charlie
McGrew’s little Gulf Service
station stood, (Of course there
wa« no freight depot erected at
that time). This little store was
owned and operated by tho Dodd
Brothers.
You see, the county line
crosses the railroad, at all an-
gle. real close to the freight
depot and ‘twas said that the
stores and business houses were
being erected in DeWitt County,
while the homes were being o-
rected in Lavnca County, and
it now still *-000)8 that most of
the business houses are In De-
Witt. and the homes in Lava-
ca Count v.
If I should fail to find the
oldest house along South-South
Street, in the neighborhood of
the freight depot. I’d direct my
attention to the old Koerth
home, on the corner of Rose
and Orth streets if it were
still there. This old Koerth
home was originally built
bv the Doctor Boyd Bro-
thers, John, Alex and Wesley.
Doctor Wesley Boyd was living
In this old house when he de-
livered me to mv mother, in 18-
89, and as I pass there now.
I often imagine I can see Old
Dooly going up those steps to
tell Doctor Wesley that "little
Willis.” is about to make his
entry into the best little town
in Texas — or was it the best
town in Texas at that time?
(with it’s manv gambling hous-
es, saloons and six-shooters, all
running wild until Henry Cri9»
well got Into the play.)
We lived only a block from
Doctor Boyd, in a very small
frame house, just across Price
Street from the old Methodist
Church. Often wondered if my
narents, who evidently knew I
was coming soon, moved near
the doctor’s home, but as I
understand it, at that time, rent
houses were a premium and •
person couldn't he verv choosy.
At that time. Rose Street did
not dead-end at Price, hut ex-
tended down to about the mid-
dle of the block, and our house ,.
All this was later changed by
the Dodd estate and noth*
