Some Famous People called Columbus Joiner

Columbus Marion Joiner

Columbus Marion Joiner, nicknamed Dad Joiner (March 12, 1860 – March 27, 1947), was an American oilman who at the age of seventy drilled the discovery well of the East Texas Oil Field of the 1930s. Newspaper articles referred to Joiner as the Daddy of the Rusk County Oil Field.

Born in Lauderdale County, Alabama, Joiner's father was killed in 1864 during the American Civil war, and his mother died in 1868. Joiner had only seven weeks of formal schooling. Tutored at home by his sister, he was taught to read using the Bible, their only book. He learned to write by copying text from the Book of Genesis. Joiner left home in 1877, but returned home in 1881 to marry, and start a dry goods store in Muscle Shoals Canal. In 1883, he entered into the practice of law in Tennessee and was from 1889 to 1891 a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives. He relocated in 1897 to Ardmore in the southern Oklahoma Territory, where he farmed, handled leases for the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, but lost all of his assets in the Panic of 1907. Joiner, and former druggist, physician, and amateur geologist A.D. Lloyd (his original name was Joseph Idelbert Durham) teamed up to drill two test wells, barely missing out discovering the Seminole oil field, and the Cement oil field. Joiner then commuted to Rusk County from 1921 to 1925, before moving to Dallas, Texas in 1925, where he focused on selling some of his Rusk County leases to recent widows. On 11 August 1925, Joiner obtained a lease on widow Daisy Bradford's 975.5 acre farm, and moved to Rusk County proper in 1926.

In 1930, Joiner and A. D. Lloyd discovered the East Texas field, the largest petroleum deposit yet found at that time. Based in five counties, it was centered about western Rusk County. Yet, Joiner had oversold interest in all three wells he drilled on the Daisy Bradford farm. He also sold some of his leases several times over, in one case to 11 different purchasers. Facing thereafter financial problems, he went into voluntary receivership and sold his well and leases for $1.335 million to H. L. Hunt. As of 1938, Joiner's estate was estimated at $3 million in value. However, at the time of his death nine years later, his assets were described as of "nominal value."

The town of Joinerville in western Rusk County is named in his honor.
