Maximillians Millions

Thats some good detective work. With the dates lining up mostly after the fact one would have to find something tangible to make pursuing this lead worthwhile. In my opinion this story was probably enhanced by locals cashing in on treasure hunters or melded together with other treasure tales.

If we assume that the treasure hasn't been already recovered then I think Carlotta is a key factor to look at. Each story seems to place her travelling over land or by boat with something traumatic causing her insanity. I still have a hard time believing the treasure would have travelled alone so if we find where she really went there may be some other clues.

Here are a few more names to poke around with.


PILOT POINT COMMUNITY CEMETERY,
Pilot Point, Denton County, Texas
Burial Audit

The history of the Pilot Point Community Cemetery goes back to the 1850's.
It is located on North Prairie Street within the northeast city limits of
the city of Pilot Point, Denton County, Texas.  The earliest recorded burial
is that of James McAdams, a two year old infant, who died in 1854.  There
are three named sections to the cemetery; The I.O.O.F. section which was
established in the 1850's, the Masonic section established in 1875, and the
Yarbrough section established in 1920.

The cemetery has been cared for by several organizations over the years;
the I.O.O.F., the Knights of Honor, The Ladies Cemetery Association of Pilot
Point, Masonic Lodge #270, and currently by the Pilot Point Community
Cemetery Association, which was incorporated in 1990.  An annual Homecoming
and Decoration Day is held every year on the first Sunday in May.  The
Association's address is P.O. Box 65, Pilot Point, Texas 76258.

Agreed, to many pieces of the story don't add up, names, dates, places. At least in regards to Max's gold.

I thought I would add this to your topic.  Letha,  Doc Noss's stepdaughter told me numerous stories about Doc's feelings regarding the origin of what he found.  She said he found a wooden box that had metal corners with three locks on the front of it.  Stamped into the center was the word "Carlota".  From that moment on he was convinced that the Noss treasure,  at least part of it was Maximillian's. At other times she mentioned Doc bringing out a box full of european mail,  which he promptly burned.  He felt it may show ownership in someway.  But the biggest item that is recorded,  in the only video interview of Ova Noss,  is a crown.  As she stated it,  it had 250 diamonds and one pigeon blood ruby in the center.  This crown was placed in a foot locker and Doc and a friend stashed it in the Caballos somewhere.  Now,  I have a photo that has been in the Noss family archives since the 1940's.  No member of the family can validate if the photo was taken by Doc or if it came out of a book.  This is unclear but it does match her story.  If you look at paintings of Carlota this crown doesn't seem to match.  Just another mystery.

cheers,
