Oliver Loving

Today we visited the farmers' market in Weatherford, enjoyed a solid Thai lunch near the college, and visited the cemetery where Bose Ikard and Oliver Loving are buried. Loving was born on March 5, 1836, the day before the Alamo fell. He was a major player in the cattle drives, and Charles Goodnight carried his remains hundreds of miles so that he could be buried in Parker County. This story should be a familiar one to fans of Gus McCray.
