Death of Francis "Frank" Johnson
Added by dgs007 on 7 Apr 2007
October 12, 1867, fifty five year old, Frank Johnson a patriarchal
figure with a long , white beard, went to look for his horses. He didn't
take his gun-and he didn't come home. His wife, Betsy wasn't too worried.
Once before Frank had set out for a neighbor's house to get some cornmeal
for breakfast and was gone for three months.(????) However, the men of the
community decided not to wait that long to look for him. They found his body
several miles from his home, scalped and shot with arrows.
Grave is at Little Salina Creek, Kimble Co., TX
