Like every good murder mystery, there appears to be a ghost story that sprang from this event. The facts are way off, but it makes for an interesting story nonetheless:
This blog was set up to document my investigation into the Lackey Murders which occured in Blanco County Texas in August, 1885. This resulted in the tragic deaths of six people, the wounding of at least two and the hanging of the perpetrator.
Kenneth Merian, a descendant of John W. Nicholson (a survivor and my Great-Great-Grandfather.). And Ellie Lackey.
