Grayson County, Texas -- There are two true stories of Caucasian frontier ladies kidnapped by the Indians and both tales have long intrigued the public. The ladies are Cynthia Ann Parker and Olive Oatman, who was known as the tattooed lady.
Cynthia Parker was born in 1827 and died 1870. She was kidnapped at the age of 9 by the Comanche Indians. In later life she married Chief Pete Nocona, bearing three children. This is one very interesting tale which I am sure you will enjoy. And we give our thanks to Mr. Garcia for sharing his time and knowledge with our group.
Garcia is a lawyer serving Sherman in Criminal Law, Civil and Personal Injury cases.
We meet on the second Tuesday of the month at 6:30 in the evening and our location is Frontier Village and Museum at Loy Lake Park in the Judge R.C. Vaughan Community Room. The Park is located midway between Sherman and Denison off Hwy. 75, Exit 67. Our meetings are open to members and their guests.
