Dr. John U. Raymond
One of the more popular doctors to locate in the town of Wallisville, Dr. John Underwood Raymond was born on June 16, 1850 in Indiana. He was one of seven children to grace the household of Rev. Charles Harvey Raymond and his wife Mary Jane Underwood. His father led a truly unusual life, coming to the Republic of Texas from New York and enlisting in the army. After military service, the father served in the Texian Congress but eventually became an Ad Interim Charge d' Affairs between Texas and the United States. This put him in Washington, DC from 1844 to 1846, and it was there in 1844 that the elder Raymond married Miss Mary Jane Underwood. After a brief stint in Texas, the young couple made their home in the vicinity of Indianapolis, Indiana. On one level these biographical facts about Dr. Raymond's father might seem of little consequence in writing a sketch of the son, but these places all materialize again in Dr. Raymond's own life. These places were clearly important to Dr. John U. Raymond.
The first reference to Dr. Raymond in Chambers County can be found in the 1880 census. He appears on the census as a resident of Wallisville. He is listed as a married man, but there is no listing for any family in the house-hold. Records from the Chambers County District Court tell us a few more facts. Raymond was married on April 15, 1870 to his first wife, Clara Belle Smalley. They soon had three children: Leslie Ingle, Walter Smalley and Harriet Scripture Raymond. Their marriage became increasingly difficult for Dr. Raymond, and he filed for divorce here on December 29, 1880. After all of the legal proceedings were completed, the divorce was granted on March 9, 1881.
Dr. Raymond was married second to Miss Susan Irene LaFour on August 4, 1881 at Wallisville. She was a daughter of Joseph and Martha (Barrow) LaFour. The Raymonds were the parents of ten children: Mabel, Virginia, Eugenia Underwood, Stella Irene, Mary Jane (May), LaFour Landry, Ruby, Esther Louise, Mildred Searle and Julian Erskine.
Soon after his arrival at Wallisville, the good doctor built an impressive cottage and quickly set up a thriving medical practice in the thriving town.
Some letters and documents in the files of the Wallisville Heritage Park shed some light on Dr. Raymond. When T. J. Shelton and Lizzie Mayes were married in early 1883, the prospective couple approached Dr. Raymond with the idea of having him conduct the wedding service.
There is another letter from T. J. Shelton to Lizzie, written on January 6, 1884, inquiring if Dr. Raymond was "still holding the Office of County Judge." As his name does not appear on any list of county judges for Chambers County, it is presumed that he was temporarily filling the office.
It is not known how long John U. Raymond and his family lived in Wallisville, but they appear to have moved to California sometime around late 1887. A Dr. John Underwood Raymond graduated from Howard University's Medical School in 1888.
The Raymonds were living in Cedarvale, California in May 1893, when their daughter Ruby was born. By October of that same year, how-ever, Dr. Raymond accepted a position with the medical division of the U.S. Pension Bureau, and the family was living in Washington, D.C. They made their home at 1224 Euclid in the northwest quadrant of the city.
Dr. Raymond passed away there in May 1914. His wife, Susan Irene, lived on another twenty-four years, passing away on March 3, 1938.
