MOORE, JOSEPH
MOORE, MRS. JOSEPH
Massacre By Indians
A letter from Bandera, Texas gives the following account of a terrible confrontation with Indians on the Medina River, but thirteen miles above that place; Joseph Moore and his family were in their wagon going to visit a neighbor, a few miles distant, when they were suddenly attacked by six or eight Indians, and Moore and his wife instantly killed and three of their children mortally wounded. One little boy of about ten years made his escape by jumping out of the wagon and running to the woods. The bodies of the murdered victims were found that night by a neighbor who was returning home from town, but were not examined until the next day. A party of citizens started in pursuit of the Indians. Moore was a son of an old lady who was killed a few months since by the same Indians. (Annapolis Gazette, Annapolis, Md., Aug. 5, 1873)
