Friedrich Ellebracht (218716516)
Suggested edit: Fritz Ellebracht was born in Germany and immigrating to the United States and to Texas in 1845, he established his home in Mason County, and is now numbered among the earliest of the county's pioneers. During the pioneer period he passed through all the privations and hardships incident to frontier life, including the starting of a ranch in a wilderness where neighbors were few and widely scattered, and the conflicts with the Indians, of which Mr. Ellebracht seems to have had entirely his share. He is remembered by the older residents as one of the bravest and most fearless of those whose duty it was to protect the homes, property and lives of the settlers from the fearful ravages of the Comanches and Kiowas. The son can also recall to mind some of those fearful raids, and particularly the one in which the Indians stole six mules and a horse from the Ellebracht ranch.
