About 1869, Paint Davis, C.D., J.T., and J.M. Findley, John Weymeller, and one or two others, struck an Indian trail where the road crossed the Nueces, about twenty-five miles north of Uvalde. The Indians were followed for about ten miles, when the six or seven citizens found themselves surrounded by a large band of savages. During the brief fight that followed, Paint Davis was killed. The above story is from the book, The West Texas Frontier, by Joseph Carroll McConnell. |
