"Herman and Willie Lehmann"
"German Immigrants Moritz and Auguste Lehmann settled along Squaw
Creek (4 mi W) in the 1850's. After Moritz's death, Auguste married
Philip Buchmeier, on May 16, 1870. Two of the Lehmann children, Herman
(age 10) and Willie (age 8) were captured by Apache Indians. Willie
was released after five days and returned home, but Herman remained with
the Apache and Comanche Indians for eight years. He was returned
to his family by U.S. Soldiers in 1878 but maintained his ties to Quanah
Parker's Comanche family, into which he had been adopted, for the remainder
of this life" (1991)
