Telephus Telemachus Louis Augustus Albertus Johnson, who died in Waco in 1875, was originally buried in historic First Street Cemetery. His remains were later reinterred in Oakwood Cemetery, which laid to rest the myth that he was buried sitting at a poker table with a bottle of whiskey in one hand and a six-shooter in the other.

  • Crash at Crush
    https://www.facebook.com/groups/673763666015976/permalink/1485612634831071/ Larry Paul shared a link. July 29, 2017 The “Crash at Crush” I have read lots of short stories people have written over the years about the “Crash at Crush” from the ones on line to the ones that have appeared in “Trains Magazine.” I must say I am a bit peeved at how they never give you the full story and keep perpetuating the same misconceptions due to the lack of research. They just keep rewriting each others stories over and over with their own little spin to it. Some of the more glaring errors I have found: William George Crush was fired and rehired, he was never fired and rehired. No one ever called him Willie, he was known as Bill. He was purported to have drilled two water wells on the site. The water was brought in from Waco and placed on a side track. There were four water cars with eight tubs, a capacity of 16,000 gallons of free, pure artisan well water, with several tons of ice. This water was conveyed up a hill an eighth of a mile by a two-inch iron pipe, and every five or six feet was a faucet with a chained tin cup. The crowd reached 50, 000. The crowd only reached 30,000 at best. One even wrote that a lynch mob was looking for Crush after the event due to all the injuries. That was not true as well. I could go on and on but I am sure you get the jest of what I am saying.

In the early eighteenth century (1700’s), groups of the Wichita Indians, the Waco and Tawakoni, established small hunting camps of grass huts along Richland and Pin Oak creeks in the northeastern and southeastern portions of the county. Almost a century later, during the 1820’s, Comanche and Taovaya (Towash) Indians migrated into the region.
