Trying to find information on FRANK CUNNIS/CUNNIUS killed by Indians in Denton Co 1868 while locating lost cattle. Frank lived with his family in Wise Co and was about 30 miles from home. Found dead at the Keep Ranch. Thanks, Susan R.
Thanks so much for the information. Unfortunately, the source of the date was on a website, and it only gave the year. I am still trying to contact the website owner to see if he has a closer time frame for the fire. When and if I do, I will contact you. It's strange to think the event took place 100 years ago this year! Thanks again for your assistance and insight.
