IREDELL, TEXAS HISTORICAL HIGHLIGHTS
ALSO INCLUDES STORY OF NEARBY JOHNSON PEAK
Donated By: Roy MALONE, Granbury, TX
All of these were written by Dr. Donovan Duncan Tidwell.
I would guess that Duncan was the closest person to have been the official Iredell and North Bosque historian. I think that he was an educator and a Methodist preacher. The narratives are very interesting to read.
The first one “The First Settler” tells of my gr gr grandfather Dixon Walker. The last one mentions Dixon also and another of my gr gr grandfathers Patillo Fuller. That story also mentions my wife’s gr grandfather John Sevier (Capt Jack) Hanna.
