Tom C. Hindman Moved To Texas
From Alabama
Alabama was the native state of Tom C. Hindman, who came to Palo Pinto County in 1872, when he was 24 years old. His wife, Fannie Jordan Hindman, was a native of Neosho, Missouri and was a Baptist. She died in 1906 at the age of 33. After Mr. Hindman came here, he worked for the Cowden family, who staked him to 200 cows and he came back five years later and split the herd with his backers. He remained in the cattle business until his death in 1905 at the age of 57. He was a member of the Christian Church. The Hindman-Yarbrough cattle pens still stand near Palo Pinto, close to the edge of Dodson Prairie. Mr. Hindman was Sheriff of Palo Pinto County from 1900 to 1904.
A descendant, O.L. Hindman, lives at Ennis."
