The Texas Star Flour Mills was founded by Gustav and John Reymershoffer in 1879, and was the largest plant of its kind, capable of milling 125 barrels of flour a day. The brothers arrived in Galveston with their parents, Czech immigrants, in 1855. The family lived in various places in Texas before settling again in Galveston after the Civil War. The brothers were involved in several enterprises in the city, as well as the political scene, and built themselves a pair of mansions side by side in downtown Galveston. The flour mill suffered some minor damage from a storm in 1900 and was demolished in about 1974.

The Galveston, Houston, and Henderson Rail Road Company was originally chartered on Feb. 7, 1853, and the route from Galveston to Houston was completed in January 1860. According to an article by George Werner in the Handbook of Texas Online, this line, nicknamed "Old Reliable Short Line," was the port of Galveston's only rail connection with the rest of the Texas railroad system. Some of its construction funding came from Galveston and Houston, but the major early financing came from investors in Holland, France and the United Kingdom. During the Civil War, it moved material to and from the blockade runners reaching Galveston. By 1867, bondholders of the original company forced the railroad into receivership and on Dec. 15, 1871 it was sold under foreclosure.

Grant's physician to treat him during his final illness. [see: Atwater Patent Medicine Collection, Univ. of Rochester] Edward P.

Printed circular. Single sheet, folded, perforated along fold, with some separation. 26 cm., 3 pp. of text (4th page, blank). The circular is addressed "Gentlemen" and signed in type by the recently appointed Trustees Edgar J. Elgood and Wm. Godden. It announced that the purchase money for the Francklyn Company remained unpaid and that "certain Bondholders in England" had determined to pay off the note to avoid foreclosure on the property. The third page, designed to be detached along the perforation, is a form letter (this copy unused) offering other holders of the company's bonds to contribute to the purchase money of $732,330 in proportion to the number of bonds held, and to pay their part by May 1, 1887. A very good copy. The Francklyn Land & Cattle Company was formed by an English syndicate in 1881. The group, partly financed by Charles G. Francklyn, son-in-law of E.G. Cunard, owner of the Cunard Steamship Line, hoped to make money in the burgeoning cattle market in the Texas Panhandle. They began with some 631,000 acres of land there, creating several ranches including the Diamond F near White Deer Creek. After several years of expansion and extravagant spending, and one particularly punishing winter, the ranch went bankrupt in 1886. Bondholders sued and this document represents one of the ways the company re-organized and subsequently rebranded itself as "White Deer Lands Trust." [see: H. Allen Anderson's brief history of the Francklyn Land & Cattle Company in the Handbook of Texas online].
