I read somewhere that either merwin or hulbert was killed by indians while outwest pushing his guns. Anybody else read that?

It pops up in some accounts. The founder of Merwin Hulbert & Co., Joseph Merwin's nephew was killed in an Indian raid on his Butterfield Stage Station in Texas before the formation of MH&Co. (during it's earlier incarnation as Merwin & Bray.) Another nephew of Joe's was the Merwin Sales Manager for most of the company's run so it's confused a lot of folks.
