Paul, My husband told me that you might like to have information as to why John Bottorff is buried in Vanhooser Cemetery, John was bringing a load of flour from Fort Worth to Graham and when he was crossing Dillingham Prairie he was attack by Indians. His wagon turned over and he jumped on the tongue of the wagon and rode that way for a while. The Indians caught up with him, killed and scalp him.. A man on a horse was up on a mountain, saw the attack and when the Indians left he got John's body and buried it.
