In the spring of 1865, John Given, his wife Eliza, and their four children, John Jr., Mary, Anna, and Martha, settled in the meadow land about 110 feet west of here, where they built a cabin and willow shanty. Charles Brown and Charles W. Leah were helping them plow and plant crops. Early in the morning of May 26th, they were attacked by a band of Indians. Brown and Leah escaped and ran six miles for help, but it came too late. The entire Given family was massacred, and their cattle and household furnishings were taken. The murdered family members were buried in Fairview.
