Richard Leigh Watkins was born circa 1878 and raised in Tennessee. In 1896 he attended the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, where he studied English Literature, Mathematics, Natural Philosophy and Latin. He graduated from the Law Department of Vanderbilt University in 1899. The next year he moved west to Colorado Springs, Colorado, and in about 1904 settled in San Antonio and opened a law practice. In 1909 Watkins formed a partnership with another San Antonio lawyer, W.A. Wurzbach. In addition to his law practice, he was a notary public in Bexar County from 1905 to 1911. Between 1910 and 1911 Watkins was business manager for the Beeville Manufacturing Company. Also in 1910 Watkins and five other men formed the Texas Title Guaranty Company. Watkins was active in a variety of associations and clubs in San Antonio, and in 1910 was one of the vestry of St. Mark’s Church.

The Richard L. Watkins Papers, 1896-1911 consist of the papers of this San Antonio lawyer and reflect both his social and business life. The papers are divided into two series, Personal and Business Records and include correspondence, legal documents, invitations, and printed materials. The bulk of the material dates from 1905 to 1911, and includes some files from the Texas Title Guaranty Company which eventually was subsumed by the Stewart Title Company. Correspondence predominates in both the personal and business records.
The Personal series briefly and partially documents Watkins’ private home life and also the social and cultural life of San Antonio in the first decade of the 20th century. There are records concerning clubs and associations that existed in San Antonio at the time, including: the Alamo Athenaeum, the Publicity League, the Riding Club, the San Antonio Country Club, the Scientific Society of San Antonio, the Twelfth Night Club, and the Woodmen of the World fraternity.
The Business Records, and in particular, Watkins’ law office records, make up the majority of this collection, and they document the practice of a lawyer who was particularly active in property and land title law. The records consist primarily of correspondence regarding clients and cases, but there are also legal documents such as wills, petitions, contracts, court records of legal cases, abstracts of record title, certificates of title to property, and insurance policies.

Personal |

The Personal series briefly and partially documents Watkins’ private home life and also the social and cultural life of San Antonio in the first decade of the 20th century. There are records concerning clubs and associations that existed in San Antonio at the time, including: the Alamo Athenaeum, the Publicity League, the Riding Club, the San Antonio Country Club, the Scientific Society of San Antonio, the Twelfth Night Club, and the Woodmen of the World fraternity. Watkins retained numerous booklets containing the annual reports, charters and bylaws for these clubs and associations. A 1909 booklet published by the San Antonio Country Club includes a drawing of the club building as it appeared at that time. Watkins also kept handwritten and typed copies of speeches and remarks he made at meetings of these clubs and associations. |
|
Watkins’ personal correspondence (in the form of carbon copies of his original typed letters) reflects his interest in exploring potential investments in railroad companies and various bonds. His correspondence includes an 18-page report on the Dallas, Cleburne and Southwestern Railway Company that appears to have been prepared as a background report for potential investors. Also of note, is a letter to his brother, John H. Watkins, giving details of the construction of the Gunter Hotel in San Antonio in 1909. |
|
Other documents of interest include invitations to family weddings in Tennessee, a Democratic Party pledge certificate (circa 1908), which reveals some of the political ideas of the era, and a political button with a photograph of Republican U.S. President William Howard Taft, dating from his visit to San Antonio in October 1909. . |

Business |

The Business Records, and in particular, Watkins’ law office records, make up the majority of this collection, and they document the practice of a lawyer who was particularly active in property and land title law. The records consist primarily of correspondence regarding clients and cases, but there are also legal documents such as wills, petitions, contracts, court records of legal cases, abstracts of record title, certificates of title to property, and insurance policies. Also included are administrative and financial documents such as Watkins’ professional licenses, cancelled checks, receipts, financial ledgers and bankbooks. Of note is an unsigned copy of a San Antonio Battle of Flowers Association charter and letter of incorporation, dated March 10, 1910. Mrs. Watkins was to be a Charter member. |
|
In addition to his law practice, Watkins’ had three other areas of business activity, including: his role as a Notary Public for Bexar County, his co-founding of the Texas Title Guaranty Company, and his business management of the Beeville Manufacturing Company. The collection includes as relatively small amount of records generated by these areas of activity. The papers also contain correspondence between Watkins and the Stewart Title Company, documenting the purchase of the Bexar Abstract Company by the Stewart firm. |
