Hiram Louis Nelson was hanged by Colonel Duff's Regiment between July 20, 1862 and August 10, 1862 in Spring Creek, Gillespie County, Texas, at age 64; The story goes: Perhaps the beginning of Spring Creek Cemetery was the result of a tragic incident during the War Between the States. In 1862, Colonel James Duff's Confederate Regiment overtook and hanged four men who would not disavow their allegiance to the United States. The victims were Sebird Henderson, Hiram Nelson, Gus Tegener, and Frank Scott. They met a brutal death by beating and hanging. The bodies were tossed into nearby Spring Creek, and their womenfold and children buried the victims here. A grim reminder of the incident is a granite monument erected at the mass grave. This historical event is commonly referred to as "Dead Men's Hole". A discussion on the event can be found at Lone Star Junction at http://lsjunction.com/forum97.htm and http://lsjunction.com/deadman.htm . 3. Mary Anna2 Roundtree.
