The Story
A. B. Medlan settled this Young County farm in 1855 and built his home from brick made on the land itself. A Texas Ranger as well as a church leader and builder, he also served the young county as treasurer and commissioner. The house was recorded as a Texas Historic Landmark in 1964.
Why it matters
The home reflects the multi-role frontier settler — lawman, churchman, and officeholder — whose labor built both the buildings and the institutions of a new county.

The Tonk Valley Community
Graham, TX
This West Texas valley carries the name of the Tonkawa nation, who called themselves "the most human of people" and were settled here on a state-authorized reservation in 1855 before being removed to Indian Territory in 1859. After the Civil War and the opening of the old reserve to settlers in 1873, pioneer families built livestock farms, a dirt-floored log schoolhouse, and rival Baptist and Methodist congregations. A schoolmistress once took a gray plow pony as part of her pay, and by the mid-20th century consolidation folded the little community's schools into nearby Graham.
Gooseneck Cemetery
Graham, TX
Named for a bend in the Brazos River, Gooseneck Cemetery grew from land donated by Kentucky native George Washington Fore and his son John Silas Fore, on ground that had once been part of the Brazos River Indian Preserve. The Fores also gave land for a school and a church that became Bunger Baptist. Burials date from just after the Civil War, and those interred include a Virginia-born War of 1812 veteran, James James, said to have died at age 114.
Medlan Chapel Primitive Baptist Church
Graham, TX
Raised in 1882 from sandstone quarried a mile away and set with mortar burned from local lime rock, this little chapel was among the first houses of worship in Young County. Its pews came the hard way, hauled by ox wagon all the way from Sherman, and a local family later deeded the church and its land to the congregation.
Early Church of Graham
Graham, TX
Built in 1885 on land donated by town founder Col. E.S. Graham, this red-brick church first served the First Baptist congregation, organized in 1880 and dedicated with a sermon by Elder W.M. Farmer. When the Baptists built anew in 1908, the building passed to the Church of Christ, which has since worshiped here longer than any other congregation in town. Its original bell tower and unpainted brick marked it as one of the young frontier community's earliest permanent institutions.
