Wellborn Cemetery

The town of Wellborn was founded in 1867 along the Houston and Texas Central railroad line. By 1874, with the first documented burial, that of two-year-old Newton Farquhar, a cemetery was in existence to serve the community. Reflecting Wellborn's history, the burial ground contains the graves of community leaders, including brothers and business partners Thomas Harvey Royder and John Horace Royder, veterans from armed conflicts dating back to the Civil War, Brazos County pioneers, and members of fraternal organizations identified by distinctive symbols on their tombstones.
