The town of Wellborn was founded in 1867 along the Houston and Texas Central railroad line. By 1874, with the first documented burial — that of two-year-old Newton Farquhar — a cemetery was in existence to serve the community. A reflection of Wellborn’s history, the burial ground contains the graves of community leaders, including brothers and business partners Thomas Harvey Royder and John Horace Royder; veterans from armed conflicts dating back to the Civil War; Brazos County pioneers; and members of fraternal organizations, identified by the distinctive symbols on their tombstones.
