Bonnie and Clyde had several ties to Gladewater during their crime spree. Bonnie's brother and sister-in-law, Hubert "Buster" and Edith Parker, lived in Gladewater at the time, and Edith Parker introduced Bonnie and Clyde to each other because Clyde was a friend of her brother, Clarence. On March 29, 1934, Clyde Barrow, along with Henry Methvin and Joe Palmer, came to Gladewater to exact revenge on a furloughed prisoner from Eastham Prison Farm, Wade McNabb, with whom Palmer had difficulties. McNabb and his brother were at a domino parlor in town when McNabb stepped outside and was never seen alive again.
