Walter W. Fondren was born in 1877 in Tennessee, the son of a farmer,
who moved the family to Arkansas in 1883. Orphaned at the age of nine or ten,
W. W. Fondren began working on farms in Arkansas and Texas. Then in 1897 he
worked as a helper on a drilling rig at Corsicana, Texas, developing rapidly
and becoming an independent driller during the first decade of this century.
While he was working at Corsicana, he met and married Ella F. Cochrum.
Born at Hazel, Kentucky, Ella Cochrum was in her mid teens when her
father died, making it necessary for her to quit school to care for her sister
and five brothers. She and Walter Fondren were married on Valentine's Day, 1904
in Corsicana, and soon thereafter moved to Houston, where a son and two
daughters were born to them and where they lived for the remainder of their
lives.
Mr. Fondren was elected a director of the Humble Oil Company, then
controlled mostly by Ross. S. Sterling, in 1912. In 1917 the Humble Oil and
Refining Company was formed, and Walter Fondren was elected vice president. He
assumed responsibility for drilling on the Gulf coast when Humble was
affiliated with Jersey Standard in 1919. When W. S. Farish was elected Jersey
director (1933), while retaining the Humble presidency, W. W. Fondren retired.
After several years of heart trouble, he died suddenly early in 1939.
The Fondren's interest in aiding worthy institutions led to the
establishment of the Fondren Foundation in 1948 to manage the resources of an
estate valued at over thirty-three million dollars at the time of Mr. Fondren's
death. Prominent among the recipients of this generosity have been St. Paul's
Methodist Church, Methodist Hospital, Methodist Homes for Older People and the
YMCA, all in Houston and Southern Methodist University in Dallas. Mrs.
Fondren's concern with health care and the training of nurses led her to
charter the Texas Association of Hospital Auxiliaries in 1943. Over the years
she also provided money for scholarships and awards for nursing students. At
the time of her death in 1982, Ella F. Fondren had devoted much of this century
to local philanthropy.

Walter W. Fondren performed a conspicuous part in the development of the
petroleum industry in Texas. The considerable wealth generated by his success
in this field was later, through the agency of Ella F. Fondren and the Fondren
Foundation, made available to several civic, religious, and educational
organizations, predominately in Texas. The Fondren Papers, occupying
approximately 7.75 cubic feet, provide a record of the Fondrens's acquisition
and dispersal of money during the first three-quarters of this century and
offers additional information on the financial workings of several well-known
institutions and corporations.
The Fondren Papers comprise fourteen Hollinger boxes that include
passbooks, ledgers, and other financial records. Books in a tin deed box (ca.
1890-1910) labeled with W. W. Fondren's card were reboxed but the box was
retained. Constituted almost completely by correspondence and documents
concerning financial matters, the collection is arranged in a single alphabet,
the papers in each folder being further arranged in chronological order.
