Jack County, Texas
During 1863, Wm. Hodges, John McGee, Pete Hill, John Keyser and his father, all of whom lived at Red River Station, were out cow-hunting on the Ten Mile Prairie in Jack County, very near the present town of Post Oak. The five had just finished dinner and John Keyser started for the horses, which had grazed a short distance away, when suddenly charged by a large band of savages. Jno. McGee, Wm. Hodges and Pete Hill were killed in a pile, Jno. Keyser was wounded in the foot, and his father narrowly escaped. The two Keysers became separated, but after traveling some distance, the father accidently came across his son who was hobbling along toward Victoria Peak.
