Wootan Wellsvanished community31.138800, -096.722000Wootan Wells was a mineral water spa/community in the late 1800s and into the early 1900s, founded by the Wootan family, primarily Francis Marion Wootan, whose brother Israel was my great-grandfather. I have considerable historical information about Wootan Wells and will be glad to share it. It was written up extensively, with photos, by the Waco newspaper in the 1960s, in a retrospective. The place burned down and finally closed forever @ 1920. It had a bottling plant, its own mule-drawn railcar to connect with the main line at Hammond Switch, a few miles south of Bremond on Hwy6, for bringing in visitors and others who wanted to "take the waters". Only a Texas State Historical Sites sign today marks the spot along Hwy 6. The coordinates are approximate, based on Bremond's. Following are sources that might help the serious researcher. First, there is a lengthy article by Janet Mace Valenza, "Wootan Wells, Texas," in The New Handbook of Texas, Vol. 6 (Austin: Texas State Historical Association, 1996), 1073-1074. She gives the following bibliography for the site: J. W. Baker, History of Robertson County, Texas (Franklin, Texas: Robertson County Historical Survey Committee, 1970. Dallas Morning News, February 17, 1948. Peggy Joyce Florida, "The Swan Song of Wootan Wells," in True West, February 1967.
