Houston Natural Gas Corporation
Lawrence Elling Family Collection
The collection was given to South Texas Archives from the estate of Lawrence J. Elling, an engineering graduate of Texas A&I. He received his BS in 1946 and an MS in 1953. He worked for Houston Gas and was ultimately Chief Design Engineer for Entex in Houston. The Archives accepted his thesis, and supporting documentation including class term papers, maps, drawings, and other research in support of his thesis. Also accepted were his diploma, certificates and photos of his family which lived in Kingsville, Riviera, and Vattman for most of the first half of the 20th century.
