according to the Handbook of Texas Online, Alfred Lane, pioneer Palo Pinto County cattleman, Texas Ranger, and brother-in-law of Charles Goodnight, was attacked and killed by Indians on Cement Mountain in Young County in July 1864. After dreaming the previous night that his parents had been massacred by Indians, Lane, despite Goodnight’s warnings of the hazardous trip, attempted to return to his home in the Keechi valley after helping Goodnight herd cattle to nearby Elm Creek, near Fort Murray on the Young-Throckmorton county line. Lane was temporarily buried on the mountain, then later reinterred at a cemetery two miles west of Black Springs (now Oran) in Palo Pinto County. The marker shows his date of death as July 5, 1864.
