George W. and Harriett Cluck settled in this area with their family in the early 1870s, soon after they returned from a cattle drive up the Chisholm Trail. They built a log home and were leaders in the development of the Running Brushy community.
Harriett (Hattie) was the daughter of James Stuart Standifer and Caroline Randall Standifer and lived in the Live Oak Prairie (also called Rutledge settlement and Pond Springs). She attended a log schoolhouse which was built around 1850. The Rutledge family opened a store-post office and a blacksmith shop nearby. A road and stage line ran past Rutledge's store and the Pond Springs post office operated until 1880. In 1882 the Austin and Northwestern Railroad bypassed the settlement, and a new community, called Rutledge or New Rutledge, was established to the northeast
Hattie was born April 14, 1846 in Cherokee, Alabama and died March 2, 1938 in Williamson Co., TX. Hattie married George Washington Cluck June 25, 1863 in Williamson County, Texas. George was born on December 18, 1839 in Missouri and died August 23, 1920 in Williamson County, Texas.
Children of Minnie M. & Clabe S. Mason were:
Lonnie D. mason b. Nov 1888 in Williamson County, Texas
John C. Mason b. Apr 1895 in Williamson County, Texas
Louisa E. Mason b. Feb 1897 in Williamson County, Texas
