John Ringo, a noted gunman and outlaw, was found dead on July 13, 1882, sitting in the fork of a nearby oak tree with a bullet hole in his right temple after a teamster traveling from West Turkey Creek discovered the body. A coroner's jury reported the death as suicide, and he was buried on the spot, though others who viewed the body maintained that he had been murdered.
