Biography
Eugene Cornelius Gordon was born on June 17, 1845, in Georgia.
Gordon, the brother of Confederate Gen. John Brown Gordon, served as a major in the Confederate army during the Civil War. He later founded and led the Decatur Land Improvement and Furnace Company near Decatur, Alabama.
Gordon was instrumental in constructing several railroads in the southern United States, including the Indiana, Alabama & Texas Railroad, which built a narrow-gauge line between Clarksville, Tennessee, and Gracey, Kentucky.
Gordon died in July 1913 while taking the train from Memphis, Tennessee, to his home in Amarillo, Texas. The Decaturs Daily called Gordon “a big hearted, big brained man” in his obituary.
