THIS STORY:
Thomas A. Dowdy wanted a better life for his wife Susan and their eight children when he decided to move from Goliad to a small town that was then named Eura in Kerr County,
On October 5, 1878, still in the midst of unpacking their belongings, the Dowdy family was going about their normal day. Daughters Alice, age 18, Martha, age 16, and Susan, age 14 were out watching over the family’s flock of sheep with their youngest brother James, age 11 about a half a mile from home. The oldest brother, Richard, was at home with a friend, who was engaged to one of the girls, to eat an early lunch. They finished their lunch around 11 a.m. and headed to the spot where the Dowdy girls and their brother were tending the sheep.
They were nowhere to be found.
A horrific scene would soon be discovered.
THIS CHANNEL:
_________________________________________________________
The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Shot with a gun and arrows and tomahawks left, looks like a tactic used often too point ppl in the direction of ppl who did not do it, they never leave a tomahawk behind after battle and certainly not after this, very sad those kids were a victim of this.

[@careystayton2663]

That's what I was thinking to. this wasn't an Indian raid. Childern usually were always taken and adopted into the tribes.

[@FabiolaMacabre]

Yes that’s what I thought also, sounds like they were trying to blame it on the tribe. So awful, those poor kids ☹️

[@kellyfostercash8026]

I agree @white people did this! A native where the captured the children and the women took them back to the tribe and made slaves of the women and adopted to children out into the families. The war weapons wouldn't have been left behind, I believe that the only thing you would have seen that was of native would have been an arrow and that would have been it

[@MTknitter22]

The braggart surely received swift justice. Ron thank you for visiting our Texas and after visiting Boerne, you can see why the area is continuing to experience massive growth. We pray this cemetery will always be cared for and protected.

My grandfather came with his family from Salamanca Spain landed in San Francisco and walked with their children to Hayward to carve out a better life after he was told that the streets of California were paved with gold. Grandma asked why he didn't pick up some of that gold so they didn't have to walk so far. My Aunt never camped after that said it reminded her of walking so far eating squirrels. ❤

I was listening to a Native American man give a presentation about the wars for the Old Northwest and he said he believes the pioneers are just as heroic the warriors defending their land since they did not know what they would face yet went into the unknown anyway. The white vs red of the Old Westerns, which I love, is a false dichotomy. Many times the the parties raiding the settlers had members of European ancestry And many times there were Native Americans helping the settlers fight off the Indians.

Hello and welcome to my part of Texas. My husband and I live in Boerne, Kendall County and have visited Kerrville, which is in Kerr County. I love the hills covered in their scrub oak and cedar. I have never heard this account, and am a bit ashamed as I taught Texas History for 18 of my 29 years as a public school teacher (I substituted for the last 7). We moved to this part of Texas from Katy (west of Houston) a year after Hurricane Harvey and have never regretted it. We love the scenery and the history of our German town, which is the county seat. I hope you liked the Texas Hill Country and will come back often.

[@sheriepeterson3927]

Also makes me suspicious. No scalping, leaving tomahawk sounds like a set up against the natives. Some one else wanted the land they where settling?

[@czechmate6916]

@@sheriepeterson3927 That’s what thought too.

[@MichaelJones-rn2pq]

The most coveted prizes that a Comanche raiding party could bring back to the tribe were captives, ,mainly older children and teenagers, especially female. The Comanches were at war with everybody that they came into contact with and could not keep their numbers up without outside "help". I believe that the left behind tomahawks and the killing and not capturing of these kids make me believe that they were murders committed to make the Comanche the fall guys...not that the Comanche needed help in garnering a worse reputation than they made for themselves.

[@Makeupbypiaw]

​@@sheriepeterson3927 my thoughts too.. very suspish.. 🤔

[@bernadettecartin]

​@@sheriepeterson3927I hadn't thought of that. I just assumed he and his crew were sickos and the kids were unfortunate enough to run afoul of them, and the scumbags tried to leave "evidence" that it was the Comanche. But maybe it was what you say and they were trying to make the Dowdys want to leave. Evil.

[@clairecarscallen]

In reading a diary written by one of my ancestors, I learned how cruel the native tribes could be. One of the families was kidnapped by Iroquois and taken hundreds of miles through the forests. The father was firced to carry an immensely heavy copper kettle full of goods strapped to his back. He carried the scars for life. Each time he fell he was beaten until he stood up. The wife gave birth on the trail to a baby who lived just a few minutes, and had to bury him under a tree. The family were in servitude to the tribe for several years.

In the case of the Dowdy children however, I do not believe the Comanches were the killers.

While I agree that this is a sad and horrific story, the fact that weapons were left behind does seem odd. They were neither easy to make and it was never "woman's work" as the Gods would cause any weapon made by a woman to break.

The members of the LDS Church are just as guilty for dressing up as Indians and destroying people and possessions of wagon trains. I love the history you bring us!
