- Notes for GEORGE THEODORE WALLER:
Colorado City Record, Thursday December 8, 1994. In a special story about the Colorado Drug, it was mentioned that in December of 1916, George Waller gunned down Dr. NJ Phenix in a "love triangle that electrified the town." Dr. Phenix died instantly and Waller was later convicted of the killing. A Howard County jury, where the case was transferred on a change of venue, sentenced Waller to five years in prison, then suspended the sentence. Relatives that remembered the unfortunate incident relate that George came home from work unexpectedly and caught his lovely wife, Fronie, in bed with the famous Dr. Phenix. He later took his revenge on the doctor while at Colorado Drug. In 1910, George and Fronie are found in the federal census with their two young children. In 1920, they were living in separate households in Ft Worth. Fronie was listed as a matron at the home for aged Masons. George was a boarding on Fairmount Ave. George later made his home in Arlington, living with his sister Annie Swafford from time to time. He is buried out in the old Johnson Station Cemetery along with his brother, John Elmo Waller, and his father, John Robert Waller.
