As I remember from hearing my father, the late W. D. Kuykendall, and others, tell about the early days in and around Cherokee, there were four white men killed by the Indians. One was a man by the name Lynn. The second man killed was a man by the name of Phillips.
Henry Cavenss (footnote: Henry was looking for his race horse stolen by Indians, his son Thomas Joe was killed; not Henry) was killed about 4 miles west of Cherokee. He was out looking for his horses one morning. There were several Indians in the bunch. They cut him off from the house, ran on to him and shot his horse. ___ Williams

"Former State Cattleman Dies
Relatives here were advised yesterday of the death of George W. Cavness, 82-year-old former Arizona livestock grower, in a Los Angeles hospital.
The body will be brought to Phoenix and funeral services will be held from Palms Chapel of the Grimshaw Mortuary at 4 o'clock this afternoon, with the Rev. C. Arlin Heydon, pastor of the First Baptist Church, in charge. Burial will be in Greenwood Memorial Park.
Mr. Cavness, a native of Texas, was engaged in the cattle business in Arizona for more than 25 years, operating at various times the Horseshoe ranch at Agua Fria, the U. T. ranch near Hot Springs, and other ranches in the northern part of the state.
Ten years ago he retired and moved to California. He had been an invalid for several years.
Mr. Cavness is survived by three sons, William F., Herbert and Hugh Cavness, all of Los Angeles; two daughters, Mrs. Ola McCandless and Mrs. Betty Donn, both of Los Angeles; two brothers, W. E. and T. J. Cavness of Phoenix; and five sisters, Mrs. Ellen McDaniel, Mrs. Mary Ellison and Mrs. Sudie Bone of Phoenix, Mrs. Minerva McDaniel of Glendale and Mrs. Fannie Mott of San Jose, Calif."
