KINDRED, HON. JOSEPH C.
Hon. Joseph C. Kindred, noteworthy among the successful professional and business men of Weimar, is a practicing attorney and a real estate conveyer and dealer. He has a sound knowledge of law, is honorable in his methods, standing well with his brother lawyers and his clients, and has a decided talent for business, his real estate transactions being extensive and profitable. He was born, February 3, 1841, in Russell County, Ala., where he passed his childhood days. His father, Alexander Kindred, was born in North Carolina, where his father, Benjamin Kindred, it is supposed, spent his entire life.
His father came with his family, of wife and nine children, to Texas, journeying by rail and boat to Indianola, thence by teams to the southern part of Gonzales County, where he lived for a year. Moving then to the northern section of the same county, he purchased twelve hundred and eighty acres of land, one hundred of which were somewhat improved. Engaging at once in general farming and stock raising, he continued there successfully employed until his death, in 1867. He married Martha Threadgill, who was born in North Carolina, a daughter of William Threadgill, and died in 1865, on the home farm, in Gonzales county. Ten children were born of their union, namely: Joshua P., Sarah A., John S., William A., Walton, Elisha T., Joseph C, James A., Mattie E., and Mary.
A lad of about thirteen years when he came with his parents to Texas, Joseph C. Kindred assisted his father in the pioneer labor of clearing and improving a homestead, attending school as opportunity offered. At the breaking out of the war, he left home, enlisting in Upton's company, which, when organized, became Company B, Hurd's Brigade, Volunteer Infantry. Going east with the command, he joined the Army of North Virginia, and was with that branch of the Confederate army in its various marches, campaigns and battles until the close of the conflict. When his company left Texas it was composed of eighty men, and before it had met with any losses its number was increased to one hundred and forty, sixty men being added. This particular company had hard luck, so that at the time of the surrender at Appomattox one hundred and thirty-five of its members were either dead or disabled, Mr. Kindred being one of the five sole survivors present on that memorable occasion.
Returning home after the surrender, Mr. Kindred engaged in farming and stock raising on his father's estate until 1868, when he bought land near Oakland, in Colorado county. Beginning the improvement of a homestead, he continued there as an agriculturist for a number of years. In 1881 he made a change of occupation to some extent, engaging as a clerk in a general store in Oakland, although he at the same time continued the management of his farm. In 1882 he sold his land, and in 1884 purchased the stock of merchandise and the good will of his employers, and for four years was engaged in mercantile pursuits on his own account. Selling out in 1888, Mr. Kindred, who had in the meantime advanced his knowledge by extensive and comprehensive reading, began the study of law, and in 1890 was admitted to the bar. Beginning the practice of his profession in Weimar, Mr. Kindred made rapid progress, and has since continued here, being one of the leading attorneys of this section of the county, and an extensive dealer in real estate, in the conveyance of which he has built up a substantial business.
Mr. Kindred married, in January, 1867, Betty Tooke, who was born in Georgia, and came to Texas in pioneer days, with her parents, John and Martha Tooke. Of the union of Mr. and Mrs. Kindred, two children have been born, namely: Wayman and Mamie, wife of Samuel B. McCleary, M. D. Politically Mr. Kindred is a stanch Democrat, and is very influential in party ranks, having rendered distinguished service to his constituents in many offices of importance. In 1875 he was elected county commissioner and served for five years in that capacity. For twelve years he was a member of the board of aldermen in Weimar, and for four years was mayor of the city. In 1880 he was elected a representative to the seventeenth legislature of Texas, and served on the committees on state affairs, finance, revenue, taxation and penitentiaries, and in 1906 he was again honored by an election to the thirtieth Texas legislature, in which he is now ably Serving. Fraternally Mr. Kindred is a member of Weimar Lodge, No. 423, A. F. & A. M.; and of Weimar Lodge, A. O. U. W. (A Twentieth Century History of Southwest Texas Vol 2, Lewis Publishing Company, 1907 -
