HOUSTON Texas
The Houston & Southern Railroad Co.

3 POCs - pen cancelled - glued register
~ 10 3/4 X 7 1/2 inches
The Houston and Great Northern was chartered on October 22, 1866 by the first Texas legislature to meet after the Civil War. The railroad owned track between Houston and Palestine, between Houston and East Columbia with branches from Phelps to Huntsville, and between Troup and Mineola. In 1873 the Houston and Great Northern and International Railroad Company consolidated to form the International-Great Northern Railroad Company.
Three POCs at left. Embossed seal and Washington tax stamp affixed. Signed by both the Treasurer and President. Charles E. Young died on August 9, 1871, a little over three months after this certificate was dated, from a train derailment accident. The Cox number is pencilled on the back. There is a little bit of ink erosion in the penned cancellation of the Treasurer\'s signature.
