12. Judge George Washington4 Larremore.
Judge George Washington Larremore was born on January 20, 1840 in Washington, Arkansas, son of John Larremore and Amanda Elizabeth Conway.
At age 26, George married Rachel Adeline Fanning, daughter of George Wesley Fanning and Mary More McDonald. George and Rachel were married on Wednesday July 4, 1866 in Fredericksburg, Gillespie County, Texas.
George was a Texas Ranger and a Commanche Indian scout for the Confederate Army of Texas. He served in the Frontier Forces from 1870 to 1871, and the Frontier Battalion between 1874 and 1898.
On June 3, 1878 he bought 76 acres from his brother-in-law, Joseph T. Fanning. He did the surveying of these tracts of land which was accepted by the County authorities.
When George brought his family by wagon train in 1880 to what was later called Seven Rivers, it was a true wilderness. The wagon train arrived September 22, 1880 and included the families of Joe Fanning, Joe Woods, Will Nelson, Marion Burleson, Ed Peril, Dick Turknett, Howard Henderson, Levi Watson, and Charlie and Buster Gambel. These were the original settlers of the area and many are included as family in this tree.
By 1884, more pioneers arrived by wagon train and the area now known as Seven Rivers became a small wild west cow town. This wild town soon attracted many outlaws; Billy the Kid (alias, William H. Bonney, Henry McCarty, and Kid Antrim) being one who frequently visited the Larremore's of this area. Another famous outlaw of the time was Clay Allison. Instead of dying in a gun battle like most gunslingers, he died while he was with our Judge George. Quoting an article found on angelfire, "Clay Allison fell off Geo. Larrimore's wagon and was killed..." He had gone to the town of Pecos, Texas, for some supplies. Apparently, a grain sack had begun to slide from the wagon, and when Allison reached for it, he lost his balance, fell, and one of the wheels passed over his neck, breaking it and killing him." The entire Clay Allison story can be found at http://www.angelfire.com/apes/westlegends/Allison.htm .

DEATH OF GEORGE W. LARREMORE
Judge George W. Larremore died at his home, in the northwest part of the city, last Saturday evening, of cancer, and was buried Sunday afternoon, in the City cemetery.
'Uncle George,' as he was familiarly known to the majority of the citizens of Carlsbad, was one of the oldest citizens in this part of the valley and had until the past few months, enjoyed robust health. He was born in Arkansas, sixty-nine years ago, and removed from there to Texas in the early forties. In 1880 he became imbued with the western spirit and migrated to the Pecos Valley, settling on a tract of land in the Seven River country, about twenty miles northwest of Carlsbad, which is still known as the 'old Larremore place.' About six years ago he moved to a farm near Malaga, where he continued to live until this past winter, when , on account of his failing health, he came to Carlsbad to receive medical attention.
Last year, he announced himself a candidate for probate judge of Eddy county and his popularity with his home people was most graciously shown by the large majority which was given him when the votes were counted, which was the largest majority ever given a candidate for any office in Eddy county.
Last October, cancer of the face developed and he immediately sought treatment, but with no avail. It stubbornly refused to yield to the most rigorous treatment, and early this spring he underwent an operation which it was thought would check if not cure the trouble, but such was not the case, and last Saturday night it claimed him for its victim.
The decased leaves a wife and four children to mourn his death. They are Mrs. George W. Larremore, his wife; Mrs. Alice Hillyer, C. W. Larremore, J. M. Larremore and Mrs. Dora Bass all of whom were at his bedside when the end came. The funeral services were held last Sunday afternoon, from his late home, conducted by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of which he was a member. The remains were laid to rest in the Odd Fellows' reserve, in the City cemetery.
