I104349: Edward Cabell BROWDER C.S.A.Capt. (1825

Notes

First United Merthodist Church, Dallas, Texas. The Publication "Church of the Crossroads...A History of First United Methodist Church, Dallas" gives this account of Lucy Jayne Monroe:....Mrs. Lucy Jane Monroe Browder, a niece of U.S. President James Monroe, was the matriarch of the "Dallas Browders" who were important in the early life of both Dallas and our church, The First United Methodist Church of Dallas. Old City Park, Dallas was originally their homestead and its productive spring provided the earliest source of water for the village, other than individual wells.

Lucy and her sons, Edward and Isham, arrived in Texas in 1845, from Missouri. They first owned land in northern Ellis County but by 1850 lived in Dallas County.

Edward served as Dallas' first district Clerk from 1850 to 1874, was an initial member of Tannehill Masonic Lodge, and was one of the first stewards, class leaders and Sunday School superintendents at First Methodist Church (FUMC). during the Civil Was he was elected Captain of Company C in the Eighteenth Texas Cavalry. Edward's brother Isham also served in Company C but died of disease in 1862.

After the war, Lucy and Edward bought and sold land in Dallas. In 1865, Lucy conveyed to Edward the approximately sixty acres containing Browder's Spring. In 1871, the Texas Legislature passed a bill granting right-of-way for the Southern Pacific Railroad with a short rider requiring that it pass within one mile of Browder's Spring, thus assuring the growth of Dallas.

In the early 1870's Edward Browder developed Browder's Addition, a fashionable suburb southeast of Dallas, between town and Browder's Spring. In 1872 the city named Browder Street after Edward. The area near Browder's Spring was established as the first city park in honor of the 1876 national centennial, and a protion remains today as Old City Park.

Edward Browder died in 1878. The next year, his son, Pleasant Browder, sold Browder's Spring to a private company, which delivered water to Dallas customers. the spring was later sold to the city. Dallas used water from the spring for about eight years before the town's need outgrew the spring's capacity. the spring was reactivated for a short time during the long drought of 1908-1913.
