During 1873, Mrs. Wm. Moore, who lived at the Walker Place, on Laxon's Creek in Bandera County, started alone and afoot to the home of Mrs. Curtis, a neighbor, who lived about one mile away. But before she was hardly out of sight Mrs. Moore was lanced to death by the Indians. The citizens at the house could hear her screaming. Ref.: Pioneer History of Bandera County, by J. Marvin Hunter. The above story is from the book, The West Texas Frontier, by Joseph Carroll McConnell. |
