Capitol Freehold Land and Investment Company Investments
Both John Villiers Farwell and his brother Charles Benjamin Farwell were directors of the Capitol Freehold Land and Investment Company, organized in London, Texas in 1885 to handle the land that became the XIT Ranch.
In addition, John was, for a time, managing director of the XIT Ranch. In that position, John Farwell spent some time at the ranch, where he occasionally held church services for the employees; his nephew Walter Farwell erected a summer residence near Channing, Texas which became the new XIT Ranch headquarters.
