WINDHAM, A. T.
The Pecos country claims A. T. Windham as one of its pioneers, and he is also one of the frontier cattlemen of western Texas and has passed through all the phases of the old range cattle industry, with its accompanying dangers and inconveniences from Indian raids, cattle thieves and the desperate characters which made their home here in the early days of the state's history. Mr. Windham, familiarly known as "Trav." was born in Kemper County, Mississippi, December 17, 1856, and in 1872 he came with his parents to Texas, the family locating at Stephenville in Erath county, which was then on the Texas frontier. He was then but a boy, but soon afterward he started in the cattle business on the old range and in a short time was a typical cowboy. He first came to the Pecos country in 1879, coming from Abilene with the outfit of the Continental Cattle Company, familiarly known as the Hash Knife Outfit, one of the large cattle companies of those days of the open range. Their headquarters were at Abilene, and Mr. Windham was on the trail from there to the west with five different herds for that company for nearly nine years, and afterward was employed for about eight years with the Seven Rivers Cattle Company of Colorado City, Texas, principally in a managerial capacity. He then went into the cattle business for himself, which has proved his life-long occupation, and since 1882 his home has been practically in the Pecos country. He operated a large ranch in Reeves County, south of the city of Pecos, until June of 1908, and selling his interests there at that time he settled down permanently in Pecos and has since confined his business to looking after his large land holdings in the Pecos country. For about five years he owned a livery stable at Carlsbad, New Mexico, but the most of his financial interests are now in lands in the Pecos country.
Mr. Windham married Annie Goedeke of Abilene, and their two children are Lee Windham and Mrs. Bonnie Ferguson. Mr. Windham is a member of the Odd Fellows and Woodmen of the World fraternities.
