Overview
The monument on West Dove Road honors Texas Troopers Edward Bryan Wheeler and H.D. Murphy, who were shot to death by Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow on Easter Sunday, April 1, 1934. Wheeler and Murphy stopped their motorcycles near Parker and Barrow’s car, thinking a motorist needed help, but were shot when they approached.
Sightseers’ Delight started publishing in June 2016. The site, published by The DeFeo Groupe, collects and curates content about places where historical events large and small happened. The site builds off the legacy of The Travel Trolley, which launched in June 2009. The site aimed to be a virtual version of the trolley tours offered in so many cities.
