TONKAWA. "In 1879 Newt Clabaugh settled in this community between Pottsville and Gentrys Mill. He built the first school and named it Tonkawa, because, he said, the people around acted like Tonkawas, a tribe of Indians. Tonkawa was about ten miles west of Hamilton. The school later moved to the Comanche road. The Tonkawa Indians were the fiercest known."
