James Watkins CARTER
Birth: 22 DEC 1850, Talladega Co, AL
Death: 12 SEP 1941, Houston, Harris, TX
Burial: Glenwood, Lakewood, Houston, TX
Note: He was the eleventh of thirteen children. James, John, and Mrs. Mason Augusta Steele Carter) were the last to die. He was raised by his oldest sister Maggie Carter Jackson on a farm adjoining the Jameson farm. His father was a self made man. When he was 21 (1871) his Father gave him $100 and a gold watch and said he was now on his own. He went to Mobile, AL on a Saturday night, put the money in a bank, and lost it the next Monday in a Bank failure. He courted his future wife while he was attending Oxford (AL) college with her in 1870. He came to Texas in 1873 with Judge Wellington Vandiver (an early schoolmate) and was married on 15 Jan 1874, in Brenham. He started the Carter Music Store in the McIntyre Hotel in Brenham, TX on 15 Jan 1877. He entered the piano business by accident. He had been selling sewing machines in Atlanta, GA and later secured the agency for the Estey organ. When he went to Texas he had an opportunity of entering the piano business as a result of the financial difficulties of a dealer there. He moved his store to Belton, TX in 1886 when Baylor College for Women was started. Fannie Simpson Carter tells a family story that she heard from her husband. J. W. Carter made his children feed some pigs that he kept in the yard in Belton. They hated their job and suffered in cold weather, so their Mother killed the pigs by feeding them rags. Finally, he moved the store to Houston, to 706 Main Street, on 1 Feb 1906, when it began to really grow. His younger son James Robinson Carter became manager in 1929. The store moved to 819 Main, to 1620 Main, and finally to San Jacinto & Main (1201 Leeland).
