SURVIVOR OF LAST CONFLICT WITH SOUTHWESTERN INDIANS BURIED IN LIVE OAK COUNTY
Father Time's ever-lengthening scroll of mundane events closed on the record of one of the pioneer citizens and trail blazers of the Lone Star State when Timothy J. Cude, 83, one of two survivors of the last Indian fight in Southwest Texas, died in San Antonio and was buried in Live Oak County near the scene of many triumphs over early Texas hardships.
With the death of Mr. Cude, only one man is left to tell the story of the last stand made by the red men in Live Oak County in the last days of December, 1872. A. M. Tullos, Mr. Cude's companion on a hunting trip that ended in a pitched battle with the Indians, still lives at Beeville.
A saga of United States history is written in the lives of Mr. Cude's family, since some member of it has served in every war the Stars and Stripes have entered, beginning with the War of the Revolution. His mother's great grandfather, Billington Taylor, was a famous scout and soldier in the Revolutionary War; his great-grandfather, Winters, took up arms in the War of 1812; Mr. Cude and three brothers, Jack, Dick and Will Cude, served in the Civil War; a son, W. A. Cude, saw service in the Spanish-American War and many descendants were in the last great war.
During all of Mr. Cude's life he refused to live farther north of Live Oak County than San Antonio, and practically all of his years were spent in that section of the State.
Mr. Cude was born in Moulton, Lavaca County, March 27, 1846, and was buried in the old graveyard at Oakville, former county seat of Live Oak County, by the side of his wife, who died years ago. At the age of 16 he entered the Civil War, and after the struggle between the States had abated he married Miss Mary Catherine Tullos.
Of five children born to Mr. and Mrs. Cude, three are living – Mrs. J. R. James of Dallas, W. A. Cude and Mrs. Robert E. Lee Street of San Antonio.
The last Indian fight in Southwest Texas occurred about thirty miles west of Oakville on Turkey Creek. An account of this fight given by Mr. Cude two years ago shows a party of fifteen men arrayed against the Indians who first attacked the white men.
During the battle most of the Indians retreated under fire of the men, but a squaw stood her ground and shot out the teeth of Sebastian Bell, one of the party of early settlers. Five scalps were taken from the Indians after they had been bested in the affray.
