Twenty-Five Years of Indian Captivity.
| In recent number of the Weatherford News, we
find the following in regard to the white woman
taken from the Indians in q skirmsh on the Texan
frontier:
| Col. Isaac Parker, of Tarrant county having
| heard of the capture Of white woman by Captain
Ross in his recent fight with the Indians, imlnedi
ately went up to Camp Cooper to see her, and
strange to say, recognized in her long lost niece
a daughter of Benjamin Parker, who was killed
many years ago at Parker's Fort on the Navisota
near where the present countryside of Limestone
county is situated but at that time about sixty
| miles above the settlements. 1t will be remem
bered by many old Texans, and is also matter OF
record in Texas history, that on the 10th of May
| 1885, a large body of Indians, several hundred in
number, appeared before Parker's Fort, and sent in
two of their number with white flag, asking for
treaty of peace.
There were but six mers with a number Of
women and children, in the Fort at the time
among whom was Benjamin Parker, who went ou
and held an interview with them, but returned in
short time and told his friends that all was no
right. Being DESTROYS of peace, and knowing the
inability of the little band within the fort to defend
themselves successfully against so large force
Mr.. Parker went out second time when he was
Immediately surrounded by the treacherous indians
and instantly killed. The incarnate fiends then
lnldsSe attacked the fort murdered the men in the
most barbarous and shocking manner, and carried
off number of women and children. Among the
prisoners taken were Mrs. Benjamin Parker ant
her three children, an infant, one little boy and
daughter, the one recently captured by Capt
Ross, and who at that time only about nine
years of age. The mother was afterwards rescued
by white man. and again recaptured by the In
dams and put to death. The little boy was never
, recovered by his friends, he survived for severa
years and finally died of the smallpox. Severa
OF the captlveS have at different times been recOy
} cred through the intervention of traders and b,
other means, and returned to their friends Some
of them still remain with their captors, notwith
standing every effort has been used by relatives
and kind friends to regain them-and there are
others still, whose fates remain unknown.
The woman recaptured by Capt. Ross has re
manned with the Indians so long, and being 81
young when captured, she had lost all remem
brance of her family and friends and of the locality
of the place from which she was taken. Yet VIZ
learn that shortly after the interview began be
tween herself and Col. Parker, which was con
Quoted through the medium of an interpreter, re
collections Of the ''scenes of her childhood u were
recalled to her mind, and she detailed with muci
accuracy the situation of the Fort-the approach
of the Indians bearing the white tlag-her father
her mother being taken, and her subsequent res
cue and her recapture by the Indians. Every cir
Cumstance connected with the taking of the Fort
was so accurately detailed that not doubt re
manned as TO her identity, and even though she haC
forgotten her name, when Col. Parker asked the
interpreter to ask her if her name was Cynthia
Ann, before the interpreter had time to ask the
question, she sprang to her feet raised her hands
and repeating the name, clapped her hands upon
her breast eXclaimng, "me Cynthia Ann p
The feeling of Colonel Parker can be better
imagined than told, upon thus recognizing from
circumstances, the most conclusive that the
woman before him was his own niece the daughter
Of his murdered brother who had been raised and
lived for twenty-five years a captive among the
barbarOus and thieying Comanches, a niece whom
he believed for wears to be numbered among thf
