3. O Henry

Resource Descriptions:

The O Henry (William Sydney Porter) Resources Collection of the Austin History Center is comprised primarily of materials donated by Judge Trueman E. O’Quinn in 1981 and augmented by items acquired from Jenny Lind Porter, Ethel Hofer, the Maddox family, the Austin Heritage Society, and the Austin History Center Association. Located in the O. Henry Room, it consists of books, periodicals, correspondence, manuscripts, autograph albums, photographs, sketches, maps, paintings, audiotape, a vinyl disc with O. Henry’s voice, artifacts, a musical score, and the Porter family Bible.
There are over 360 books containing stories by O. Henry. More than sixty percent are titles published in O. Henry’s lifetime, many being first editions and bound in distinguished sets. The Collection houses three complete typewritten O. Henry manuscripts and several handwritten pages. Also available are books written by O. Henry’s contemporaries, such as Witter Bynner, Gelett Burgess, and William Cowper Brann.
Nearly 400 periodicals, ranging in date from 1897 through 1983, feature illustrated stories by O. Henry, along with advance notices of future publications, literary criticism, and biographies. There are extensive holdings of Ainslee’s, Everybody’s Magazine, McClure’s, The Golden Book Magazine, Bunker’s Texas Monthly, and The Munsey. A robust clippings file includes articles about O. Henry, his relations, and associated people and events.
The more than sixty O. Henry reference works in the Collection include a transcript of Will Porter’s embezzlement trial, a complete bibliography, and writings by friends and associates. The titles span the years 1916 through 1993. Multiple publications and editions of these works contribute to the total number of 150 reference-related books in the Collection.
Primary source materials consist of letters written by Will Porter to associates, most involving requests for financial loans or advances. Whimsical poems and sketches are found in two autograph albums, one of which belonged to Porter’s future wife, Athol Estes of Austin. The Porter family Bible records O. Henry’s birth.
Photographs in the Collection depict O. Henry and his environment through various phases of his life. Articles of furniture, purported to have been used by O. Henry, are on display along with an oil portrait and various paintings based on short story characters. An audiotape presentation by Howard Sartin, son of Guy Sartin, O. Henry’s son-in-law, adds dimension to written biographies.

Biography

William Sydney Porter (O Henry) was born on a plantation in Greensboro, North Carolina, on September 11, 1862. In 1882, prompted by ill health, he moved to a ranch in west Texas and two years later relocated to Austin. During Porter’s early years in the city he held several jobs. He was a pharmacist at the Morley Drug Store, a bookkeeper for Joe Harrell, and a clerk at Maddox Brothers and Anderson, general land agents. As a bachelor, he enjoyed singing with the Hill City Quartet, known for serenading young women on the streets of Austin. The group also entertained at local weddings, church festivals, and picnics. Porter was a frequenter of the Bismark Saloon, his favorite watering hole.
In 1887 Porter eloped with seventeen-year-old Athol Estes, an Austin native, who was impressed with both his singing and drawing abilities. They were married at Flower Hill, the home of Reverend R. K. Smoot. Porter’s status as the head of a new household motivated him to take a job at the Texas Land Office where he translated his skills as a cartoonist into cartography. Porter’s maps, some of which are embellished with topical sketches and landscapes, are still on file at the General Land Office.
Will and Athol had two children, an infant son who died in 1888 and Margaret Worth Porter, born in 1889. Short after Athol’s health began to deteriorate from tuberculosis. Porter pursued his interest in writing and illustrated a book, Indian Depredations in Texas by J. W. Wilbarger. In 1891 Porter left his job at the Texas Land Office and moved to become a bank teller at the First National Bank of Austin, earning $100 a month.
The Rolling Stone, his 1894 venture in writing and publishing a newspaper, gained a healthy circulation of about 1000 in a city of 11,000. Despite public interest, Porter was unable to make a profit and stopped production after a year. Further disappointments ensued when discrepancies in his accounting at the bank amounted to over $4000, demanding his resignation. Porter removed himself to Houston where he wrote a column for the Houston Post. To avoid an embezzlement trial, he fled to New Orleans and embarked on a steamer to Honduras. David Canright describes the situation this way:
“His impulsive plan to wait out the statute of limitations beyond the reach of extradition in Central America was abandoned after six months, when he got word from his mother-in-law that his wife was about to die. He returned to Austin to care for her and to await his trial. Shortly after his wife’s death in 1897, William Porter was convicted of embezzlement and sentenced to five years in the federal penitentiary in Columbus, Ohio. He never returned to Texas.”1
After his release from prison, Porter moved briefly to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and then to New York City, where he established residency.
While in prison, Porter adopted the pen name O. Henry and began his career as a short story writer. His work was prolific but began to decline, along with his health, in 1907. Porter

died in New York City in 1910, prior to his forty-eighth birthday. His legacy continues in the O. Henry Award, one of the most prestigious short story prizes in America.

Artifacts
Furniture
The Bismark chair and table were used by Will Porter while a frequenter of George Zerchausky’s Bismark saloon in Austin, TX. Porter is claimed to have carved a notch into the top of the table to record his primacy of use. It is recorded that Porter had the legs of the chair cut down by an inch or so to better accommodate him. He is attributed with having the support wire of the chair replaced with a sturdier metal bar in compensation for his shortening the chair.
