1883 Oct 1 Matlock Vs The State (Texas Court Appeals pg
654)
Appeal from the District court of McLennan. Tried below
before the Hon. Eugene Williams.
The appellant and Jeff Matlock were jointly indicted for
the theft of a cow, the property of
J B Webb, in McLennan county, Texas, on the first day of
October 1883. The penalty assessed
was a term of two years in the penitentiary.
J B Webb was the first witness for the State. He
testified that he was the owner of the cow
described in the indictment. She was a dun or reddish
colored animal, with a yellow neck and
speckled back, and was branded with a lateral E and a
bar. That brand was the brand of W C
Adams, from whom he the witness purchased the cow. She
disappeared from the range possession
of the witness about Oct 1 1881. Witness next saw her in
the butcher pen of Carl Crippen in
East Waco, on or about Oct 1 1883 - two years after she
disappeared. Crippen told witness
that he bought the cow from Jeff and Will Matlock, but
he surrendered her on witness's
affidavit of ownership. Carl Crippen testified for the
state that he purchased the animal
described in the indictment, and which corresponded with
the description given by the witness
Webb, from the defendant and Jeff Matlock about Oct 1
1883. When they sold the animal to the
witness, the Matlocks told him that they bought the
animal from a negro named Smith, who lived
on the Rose farm, which farm was situated a few miles
above Waco, on the east side of the
Brazos river. James Stanfield testified he saw the
defendant and Jeff Matlock driving the said
cow Oct 1 1883. S Matlock the father of Jeff Matlock and
the grandfather of the defendant,
testified for the defense that on or about Oct 1 1883,
the defendant and Jeff Matlock came to
his house driving a cow which corresponded with the cow
described in the indictment. Defendant
claimed that he bought the said cow from a negro named
Smith, and exhibited a bill of sale
written on the leaf of a blank book and signed with a
cross mark by Smith, which bore the
signature of Jeff Matlock as witness. That bill of sale
was delivered to the witnesses daughter
for safe keeping, but was afterwards inadvertently
burned with some worthless papers. On
cross examination the witness said that after the
release on bail, the defendant disappeared
forfeiting his bond. Witness did not know the present
whereabouts of Jeff Matlock.
The Defense closed.
Deputy Sheriff McGee testified for the State, that he
went to Cooke county in the winter of
1887, where he found the defendant in jail, received him
from the sheriff and brought him back
to McLennan county.

9 George D Gardenhire born April 21 1852 AR
George married Annie Barry May 27 1874
San Joaquin Co CA. George
died March 24 1916 Oroville CA
BIO: George was the fourth son in a row born to his
parents in Arkansas, not counting
his two
oldest brothers, both
born in Tennessee. George was a year old when he
joined
the four to
six month trip by wagon train heading for California
with his parents.
"The
oxen trip was even slower than usual because of numerous sand storms and
hail
storms along the trail during 1853." per
Stanislaus County Autobiography. Being the
youngest
son, George
helped his Dad and brothers with the numerous farm-hand
duties on
his father's vast dry-farming grain
ranches in San Joaquin and Stanislaus Counties. In
1870, when 18 years old, George still lived at home in
"The Gardenhire Farm House" with
two older brothers,
Archie and James, and his younger sister, Mary, per the
1870 San
Joaquin County Census. The Gardenhire farm was
just across the county line from the near
by German Town of Clyde,
formed in 1871 by German-American farming settlers in
the area.
George D. was not listed
in his father's probate will of July 1883. He was
the only
living son not listed, thus
his county of residence was not given during 1883. On 15
May
1913, George was listed
as a surviving brother in the Oakdale Graphic Newspaper
obituary
of Archibald Yell Gardenhire.
George lived in California 64 years and died of Cerebral
Apoplexy at 5:30 p.m.,
24 March 1916, at the Butte County Infirmary
at age sixty-five
years. His death certificate
has his last place of residence as Sterling, a small
town
about fifteen miles NE of Chico,
California George and his wife Annie share a
greenish-
blue rock labeled with their
names and year of death only. This rock shaped
headstone
is beside a young evergreen pine
tree planted about 1975. This couple share the
rock
monument with their two infants, at the large Chico Cemetery in the
center of this
growing college town in northern California. The cemetery plot book shows infant to be
Etta L. Gardenhire, no date of burial.
Etta is buried at the end of her dad's long grave.
Catherine's name was not shown on the
headstone either, but this young baby girl was
placed
with her mother in 1892. Their son John Dallas is also
buried at Chico Cemetery.
This wife might have
remarried as she is not
buried beside him, nor in the cemetery, per
Cemetery
Record Book, September 1984. The
graves of George and Annie are both extra long
which gave room for
6 month old Catherine to be placed in the same grave as
her mother.
Thus these two side by side graves are
the final resting place of two infants also. Their
married son John was not placed beside
his parents yet many Gardenhire Cousins also share
this
cemetery. This flat green grass Cemetery is now totally
surrounded by the large flat
town of
Chico. This town has a creek
running through it watering the numerous trees and
ferns
through
out this long twisting creek.
