SLAUGHTER, GEORGE WEBB (1811-1895)

George Webb Slaughter, rancher, and Baptist preacher, the son of William and Nancy (Moore) Slaughter, was born in Lawrence County, Mississippi, on May 10, 1811.

The family moved to Louisiana in 1825 and to Sabine County, Texas, in 1830. Slaughter served as a courier under Sam Houston and is credited with delivering a message to William B. Travis at the Alamo.

On October 12, 1836, Slaughter married Sarah Jane Mason, and they became the parents of eleven children. Ordained a Baptist minister in 1844, he preached in Sabine and other East Texas counties until the death of his father in 1851, when he moved his cattle to Freestone County.

In 1857 he set up a ranch five miles north of the site of present Palo Pinto, preaching and practicing medicine in addition to ranching. By 1860 his range extended into Young County. During the Civil War Slaughter furnished beef for the Tonkawa Indians under contract with the Confederate government.

In 1867 Slaughter and his son, Christopher Columbus Slaughter, drove a herd of steers from Palo Pinto to Shreveport, Louisiana, under a contract with T. H. Johnson. In 1867 and 1868 some of the Slaughter cattle were sold to James C. Loving and Charles Rivers, but in 1870 the Slaughters drove 3,000 head to Kansas. They continued to make northern drives until 1875. Slaughter made his home in Emporia, Kansas, until 1876, when he dissolved his partnership with his son, Christopher C., and returned to Texas to ranch in partnership with another son, Peter Slaughter.

The father sold his interests in 1884. He died at Palo Pinto on March 19, 1895.

SLAUGHTER, CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS (1837-1919).

Christopher Columbus (Lum) Slaughter, ranching pioneer, banker, and philanthropist, was born on February 9, 1837, in Sabine County, Texas, one of five children of George Webb and Sarah (Mason) Slaughter; he claimed to be the first male child born of a marriage contracted under the Republic of Texas. He was educated at home and at Larissa College in Cherokee County. As a boy he worked cattle with his father and at age twelve helped drive the family's ninety-two-head herd to a ranch on the Trinity River in Freestone County, where the family moved in 1852. There, because of his expertise in herding cattle across the often swollen river, he was regularly employed by drovers bound for Shreveport with Brazos-country livestock. At age seventeen he made a trading expedition hauling timber from Anderson County to Dallas County for sale and processing Collin County wheat into flour for sale in Magnolia, Anderson County, a trip that yielded him a $520 profit. With this money he bought his uncle's interest in the Slaughter herd. Having observed the better quality of the Brazos stock, he persuaded his father to move farther west. They selected a site in Palo Pinto County, well positioned to provide beef to Fort Belknap and the nearby Indian reservations, and in 1856 the younger Slaughter drove 1,500 cattle to the new ranch. In 1859, with the outbreak of open war with Indians, he volunteered his service and was in the expedition that unexpectedly liberated Cynthia Ann Parker from a Comanche camp. With the withdrawal of federal protection during the Civil War, Slaughter continued to fight Indians as a lieutenant in the Texas Rangers; he also served under Capt. William Peveler in Young County in the Frontier Regiment, part of the effort to maintain frontier protection during the war.

With the loss of the war and continued Indian harassment, Slaughter and other ranchers started for Mexico in search of new ranchland. During the expedition Slaughter suffered an accidental gunshot wound that incapacitated him for a year, causing a nearly ruinous decline in his cattle business. After his recovery he started a cattle drive to New Orleans in late 1867, but en route contracted with a buyer for a Jefferson packery to sell his 300 steers there for thirty-five dollars a head in gold, a large sum. With his new stake he began regular drives to Kansas City in 1868, selling his herds for as much as forty-two dollars a head. He sold his Texas ranching interests in 1871 and in 1873 organized C. C. Slaughter and Company, a cattle-breeding venture, which later pioneered the replacement of the poor-bred longhorn with Kentucky-bred blooded shorthorn stock. By 1882 a herd shipped to St. Louis received seven dollars per hundred pounds.

In 1873 Slaughter moved his family to Dallas and a few years later dissolved his partnership with his father. About 1877 he established one of the largest ranches in West Texas, the Long S, on the headwaters of the Colorado River and there grazed his cattle on the public domain. Desirous of becoming a "gentleman breeder," he purchased in 1897 the Goodnight Hereford herd and the 1893 Chicago World's Fair grand champion bull, Ancient Briton. In 1899 he acquired the famous Hereford bull Sir Bredwell for a record $5,000. Through these purchases Slaughter's purebred Hereford herd became one of the finest in the business. Around 1898 Slaughter undertook a major land purchase in Cochran and Hockley counties. He bought 246,699 acres, leased more, and established the Lazy S Ranch, which he stocked with his Hereford herd and mixed breed cattle from the Long S and consigned to the management of his eldest son.

In 1877 Slaughter helped organize the Northwest Texas Cattle Raisers' Association (later the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Associationqv), for which he also served a term as president (1885). He was the first president of the National Beef Producers and Butchers Association (1888), an organization formed to combat market domination by the meat-packing industry. Frequently titled the "Cattle King of Texas," Slaughter became one of the country's largest individual owners of cattle and land (over a million acres and 40,000 cattle by 1906) and was the largest individual taxpayer in Texas for years. For a time "Slaughter Country" extended from a few miles north of Big Spring 200 miles to the New Mexico border west of Lubbock. By 1908-09, however, he opened his Running Water and Long S Ranches to colonization and sale. Yet by 1911, much of the land reverted to his ownership upon the failure of the land company promoting colonization there, and under the management of Jack Alley, it was restored to profitability by 1915. Slaughter maintained strict control over his operations until 1910, when he suffered a broken hip that crippled him for the remainder of his life, compounding problems caused by his failing eyesight. He consequently turned the business over to his eldest son, George.

In addition to ranching, Slaughter participated in banking in Dallas where he helped organize City Bank in 1873 and invested in the bank's reorganization as City National Bank in 1881; at that time he became its vice president. In 1884 he helped establish the American National Bank, which evolved by 1905 into the American Exchange National Bank (later First National Bank). He was vice president from its organization until his death. On December 5, 1861 (possibly 1860), Slaughter married Cynthia Jowell of Palo Pinto, Texas; they had five children. After being widowed in 1876, he married Carrie A. Averill (Aberill) in Emporia, Kansas, on January 17, 1877; they had four children. Slaughter was a Democrat and Baptist; he contributed two-thirds of the cost for the construction of the First Baptist Church in Dallas and served as vice president of the Southern Baptist Convention, as president of the state Mission Board (1897-1903), and as an executive board member of the Baptist General Convention of Texas (1898-1911). His support of a plan to retire the consolidated debt of seven Texas Baptist schools and coordinate their activities into a system capped by Baylor University assured its acceptance by the general convention in 1897. Slaughter also contributed generously to the establishment of the Texas Baptist Memorial Sanitarium (later Baylor Hospital) in Dallas. He died at his home in Dallas on January 25, 1919.

SLAUGHTER, JOHN BUNYAN (1848-1928).
John Bunyan Slaughter, rancher, the fourth son of Sarah (Mason) and George Webb Slaughter, was born on December 15, 1848, in Sabine County, Texas. His family moved to Palo Pinto County in 1857. He spent much of his boyhood on a cow pony working for his father and his older brother, Christopher C. Slaughter. In 1866 he accompanied them as a cowboy on a drive up what became the Chisholm Trail to Abilene, Kansas. John proved his mettle the third day out by taking charge of the trail herd, at the cowboys' request, after Indians had murdered the previous boss and a companion near Victoria Peak in Montague County. Throughout the early 1870s Slaughter endured more scrapes with Indians, including one in which he was seriously wounded. In 1877 Slaughter married May Burris, and eventually he and his brother William B. Slaughterqv formed a partnership and acquired range in Crosby County. For the next three years he and Bill bought cattle in Texas, drove them to the Kansas markets, and sold them at a profit. May died in childbirth in Dallas in 1879; the baby also died. In July 1880 Slaughter married Isabella (Belle) Masten May. He brought her to the ranch homestead he and Bill had built on Scallowag (Home) Creek in Crosby County out of lumber hauled from Fort Worth. The couple had three children. In 1883 Slaughter moved his family to Colorado City before selling the Crosby County ranch to the Espuela Land and Cattle Company (see SPUR RANCH), and moving his cattle to a spread in Socorro County, New Mexico. After selling this ranch and dissolving his partnership with Bill in 1886, he ranched for a time on the Green River in Utah, and then in eastern New Mexico near the Texas line, before acquiring 160 sections in Glasscock County in 1890. For the next eight years Slaughter averaged 6,000 head of U Lazy S cattle there while maintaining his home and headquarters in Colorado City, where he served as vice president of the People's National Bank. In 1898 he moved his family to Fort Worth, where he built a large home; he also disposed of his Glasscock County holdings after moving the cattle to leased lands in Borden and Garza counties. In 1901 Slaughter purchased the Square and Compass Ranch from the Nave-McCord Cattle Company. Soon afterward he sold the family home in Fort Worth and built a spacious ranchhouse out of lumber freighted from Colorado City. When Charles W. Post laid out the town of Post in 1906, Slaughter sold 47,749 acres to him for that purpose. Slaughter died on November 11, 1928, of an apparent heart attack. After funeral services at the ranchhouse, his body was shipped by rail to Fort Worth for burial in the family mausoleum in East Oakwood Cemetery.
