NAPIER, Thomas Wilson

NAPIER, Thomas Wilson April 25, 1818 - September 18, 1869 Ceremony to honor sheriff killed in line of duty By; David Gambrel September 16, 2009 Thomas Wilson Napier, the only Lincoln County sheriff killed in the line of duty, will be honored at 7 p.m. Thursday in a ceremony at his grave site in the Buffalo Springs Cemetery. Napier was shot on Sept. 18, 1869, behind the Stanford Presbyterian Church when he tried to arrest 17-year-old Samuel Holmes of Crab Orchard. According to newspaper accounts of the time, Holmes had been in town drinking and fired his revolver into the ground. When Napier and Town Marshall E.M. Davison tried to arrest him, Holmes turned and shot Napier once in the abdomen and once in the shoulder. The shooting took place around 8 p.m. on a Saturday night, and Napier died around 10 p.m. Davison was also wounded in the incident but survived. Napier’s death ended a life of service to his nation and county. Born April 25, 1818, in Virginia, his family moved to Casey County when he was a young man. Later, the family moved to Lincoln County. In 1846, Napier enlisted in the 2nd Ky Volunteers during the Mexican War. Although he was enrolled as a corporal, he was soon promoted to 2nd Lieutenant and fought in the Battle of Buena Vista. Included in his company were several men who would later fight in the Civil War, some on the same side as Napier and others against him. Most notable was Frank Wolford of Casey County, whose troops chased Napier’s troops during the Civil War. Wolford commanded the 1st Kentucky Union Cavalry. After the Mexican War, Napier served as state representative from Lincoln County and was twice elected county judge. He was also superintendent of the County’s poorhouse. When the Civil War began, he was named assistant quartermaster for the 1st Kentucky Confederate Cavalry. After his second term as judge ended in August 1862, he helped organize the 6th Kentucky Confederate Cavalry in September. The unit was partially organized in the front yard of what is now Nancy Hill’s home on Danville Avenue. James W. Alcorn, who was the adjutant for the 6th Kentucky, built his home on that site to commemorate the organization of the Confederate Cavalry there. Napier was elected Lt. Colonel of the 6th. The unit was eventually assigned to the command of Gen. John Hunt Morgan of Lexington and participated in Morgan’s great raid into Illinois, Indiana and Ohio in the summer of 1863. The operation was the most northern operation by uniformed Confederate soldiers during the war. While many of Napier’s men were captured and imprisoned during the raid, Napier managed to elude capture. Following Robert E. Lee’s surrender at Appomattox, Napier’s unit was part of Confederate President Jefferson Davis’ body guard and was captured with Davis in Georgia in May 1865. The earliest record of his return to Lincoln County after the war is in the minutes of Lincoln Lodge No. 60 of Free and Accepted Masons. Napier served the lodge as master and secretary. His name shows up as attending the lodge in December 1865. Soon after returning from the war, Napier received permission from the County Court to rebuild the poorhouse of which he was again named superintendent. In August 1868, he was elected sheriff. Following his death, the Fiscal Court posted a $1,000 reward for the capture of his killer. Tradition holds that after shooting Napier, Holmes fled to his father’s home, which was near what is today the Hackley family home on Boone Road. Former County Attorney John Hackley said his late father, Charles, and been told that Holmes was hidden in a well while the posse was hunting for him. Despite the large reward, Holmes was never captured. However, Hackley said his father told him that years later the Holmes’ family had a farm tenant show up on the farm that looked remarkably like Samuel Holmes. Napier was never married but did leave behind several siblings and nieces and nephews. Several of his relatives are planning on attending the ceremony Thursday. The event is being hosted by Lincoln Lodge No. 60 and is open to the public. Friday, September 25, 2009 - Advocate-Messenger
