much loved by those who knew her. In her fifteenth year, at a protracted meeting
held at Liberty, she came to the alter of prayer as an earnest seeker of
religion and while her pastor was trying to lead her to Christ and was
instructing her on the subject of faith, she said I want to know for myself,
when I am converted. She did know when she was converted. On the 7th day of
February 1887 she received a bright manifestation of her pardon and acceptance
and told to all around, what a dear Savior she had found. From that time Janie
was a faithful Christian, but for her work for the Master, was soon finished. On
the 9th day of NOVEMBER 1888 the angels were sent to inform her that her mansion
was ready and to bear her happy spirit to he beautiful home on high. Weep not

in the office of Judge Henry Pirtle, who then was a young lawyer and lived here.
After Mr. TAYLOR procured his license, he began the practice in this town, which
he maintained for a long number of years. he was a good lawyer and did a good
practice and had the confidence of the people as an honest, fair dealing
truthful, noble spirited man which he well deserved and now when comes to die at
the very old age of 87 years, he leaves his enemies behind nor any tradition of
enmities during his life. He never sought a public office and never held but one
and was elected by without being a candidate. His first marriage was Miss Mary
Davis of Muhlenberg county, sister of Mrs. JOHN H. HENRY, by whom he had several
children, all of whom are dead except THOMAS who resides near Hartford. HARRY P.
TAYLOR and Miss MARY TAYLOR are his grand children. His second wife was Mrs.
KITTY TRIBLE, who survives him and who together with his son and grandchildren,
have been most kind and unremitting in their attentions to him during long and

Last Wednesday evening about three
and a half miles east of Hartford, the body of DOC. STEVENS was found lying in a
cluster of briars with the head lying in a branch. His head was crushed to a
jelly and numerous cuts on his hands and arms. There was every evidence of a
masterly struggle just previous to the fatal stroke. The body was dragged twenty
yards from where the murder was committed. The corpse was found by Mrs. Tyro
within a half hour after the foul deed had been committed. She gave the alarm at
once, and within a few minutes there was a number of the neighbors present. A
neighbor named James Herald, who is a married man about 30 years of age,
assisted Mrs. Tyro to pick the body up and place it on a grassy bank near by.
Herald came to Hartford at once and asked the county judge if there would not
have to be an inquest held over the body, and the county judge answered in the
affirmative, and told him to notify Wm Awtry, the nearest magistrate, who would
hold the inquest. Herald did as requested Esquire Awtry had a jury summoned and
empanelled. At the trial several witnesses were examined but no clue could be
found until James Herald, who had come to town to see about the inquest and get
a coffin and burial shroud for Stevens, had taken the stand. Herald was asked if
he had a difficulty with Doc Stevens, he said he had. He was then asked if he
had any difficulty with Stevens on the day of the killing, and after some
hesitation he said he had. He was then asked what time he had the difficulty, he
said about 4 o’clock. He was then asked to locate the place where the fuss
occurred and what took place, and he answered by saying he did not care to tell
that, and after a few more leading questions had been propounded, and he refusal
to answer, the jury retired and found a verdict of murder, and the magistrate
ordered the Sheriff to arrest Herald and place him in jail, which was done, and
the prisoner will have to remain in jail until the meeting of the grand jury
next November. Herald has told enough already to convict him. The weapon used
was an ordinary chopping ax. Stevens lay on the ground where he was killed all
night. Stevens was a manner moneyless and friendless, but while this was true,
it does not follow that he should have been so brutally deprived of his life. At
the time the difficulty began, Stevens had a bundle of oats on his shoulders
carrying them to the barn. Herald was chopping on Stevens land and the fuss came
up over the division of the oats.

Last Wednesday night, Owensboro was the scene of a brutal murder and
lynching, JOHN WESTERFIELD, a white barber, living at 520 East main was shot and
killed by DOCK JONES a drunken negro barber. From the excellent and complete
account of the whole affair published by the Messenger the next morning, we call
the following facts. Jones had been drinking all day and came to Westerfield’s
shop about 9 o’clock and began abusing Westerfield. Not caring for the abuse of
the insolent negro, he took his pistol and went to the door and ordered Jones to
leave. Jones do so but returned in a few minutes, opened the door and fired
three shots into Westerfield, who was shaving a man at the time. Westerfield
died within the hour and a-half, first giving a clear statement of all that
passed between him and Jones. Jones was put in jail in a half drunken condition
and slept so soundly that he did not hear the knocks of the mob that had
gathered and was after his life; by 2:30 in the morning. Jailer Lancaster
refused the keys, but when six determined men faced him with as many drawn
revolvers he changed his mind. The mob was ordered and determined, and at 2:50
a. m. Jones was swinging from a limb in the court house yard, while the corps of
the man he had killed was wept over by a sorrowing wife and orphan children in
their up town home. Mr. Westerfield was the brother of MR. G. C. WESTERFIELD of
HARTFORD.
