He was born the same year that Crazy Horse fought his last battle against the United States Cavalry - 1877. Raised south of Houston, he learned the three R’s at Possum Trot school. He and his wife Martha (Shelton) are laid to rest on top of a steep hill at Oakdale cemetery. No, I didn’t know either of them, but I knew their son very well.
