Abstract:
The House family moved to Texas from Illinois in 1905. At first John Salisbury House, his wife Ellen Victoria Corneau, his sons Edmund Walter and Charles Percival and his daughter Clara Corneau settled on a farm near the town of Alfred in South Texas. At first all three of the House men went to work for the railroad, but each one moved on to enterprises that tied them closely to the growth of Kingsville. J. S. House went on to be postmaster and later the city treasurer. Walter and Percy House both went to work for the R. J. Kleberg and Co. Bank for many years. All three of them also speculated in residential and farm real estate and each of them participated in many civic groups. The members of the House family arrived in Kingsville just after it was first created. As the town grew and prospered so did the House family and the records in the House Family Collection trace the growth and prosperity of the town through that of the House family.

Creator Sketch
The House family moved to Texas from Illinois in 1905. At first John Salisbury House, his wife Ellen Victoria Corneau, his sons Edmund Walter and Charles Percival and his daughter Clara Corneau settled on a farm near the town of Alfred in South Texas. The family soon discovered that the work involved with starting a farm in South Texas was tremendous. So when the new railroad line from Galveston to Brownsville opened J. S. House took a position as train dispatcher for the St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico Railroad and moved to Kingsville.
J. S. House resigned his position with the railroad to become Kingsville's postmaster in 1907 and served in that capacity until 1913. In 1913 he was elected to the position of city treasurer and held that position until his death on June 1, 1924. During his time in Kingsville J. S. House and his sons were prominent land speculators in both residential and farming/commercial properties.
Edmund Walter House moved with the family to Kingsville and after a brief time working for the railroad he took a position with the Kleberg Bank and became a stockholder in the company when it became R. J. Kleberg & Co., Inc. in 1909. He was vice-president of the bank from 1909 till 1921 when it incorporated with First National Bank. Walter House was very active in the community development of Kingsville. He was a city commissioner from 1911 to 1921. Walter served on the board of directors of the Kleberg County Hospital from its creation until his death and he was director and treasurer of the Chamber of Commerce for over twenty years. His community involvement also encompassed helping with the establishment of the South Texas State Teachers College, the starting of the Dairy Products Creamery, activities with the Episcopal Church and the local Masonic lodge. He died on October 7, 1947 at the age of sixty-five.
Charles Percival House also came to Kingsville in 1906. He went to work for the railroad for a short time before joining the staff of the Kleberg Town and Improvement company. Percy House worked in the real estate business until 1912 when he became a cashier for the R. J. Kleberg & Co. Bank, where he worked his way up to partner and retired thirty-eight years later. He was also very civic minded. Percy was a member of the first local baseball team, a member of the volunteer fire department and the town band. He was the first secretary of the Kingsville Commercial Club (which became the Chamber of Commerce), director of the Housing Authority and either a trustee or secretary of the Public School Board for over thirty-five years. He was active in the Republican party, the Masonic Order, the Episcopal Church and the Kleberg County Historical Commission. He died on January 25, 1972 at the age of eighty-eight.
The members of the House family arrived in Kingsville just after it was first created. As the town grew and prospered so did the House family and the records in the House Family Collection trace the growth and prosperity of the town through that of the House family.
Scope and Content Note
The House Family Collection is comprised of the personal and business records of John Salisbury House (father), Edmund Walter House (son), Charles Percival House (son), Lillian House (spouse of C. P. House), and Clara Corneau House (daughter) totaling 9.3 cu.ft. and spanning from 1869 to 1990.
The bulk of the materials (approx. 6.9cu.ft.) follows the financial dealings of the House family and tend to have been created between 1905 and 1950. These financial papers show the many types of businesses that the House family members were involved in, mostly real estate transactions.
The remaining materials are comprised of personal correspondence, educational records, photographs, maps, oral history audiotapes and newspaper clippings. These records complete the broad picture of the House family. The records show the state of the family members from right after their arrival to South Texas in 1905, through their growth with the town of Kingsville up to the recent past (1990).
