Per Grandnephew Bill Linebarrier: Hezekiah Furr is listed in the 1900 census as being the fourth child of Wiley and Vine, born March 9, 1891. No one that I know living has ever heard of this name in the Furr family. His brother George's daughter, Lillie, does not remember the name but does remember an uncle named Carl. The name Carl does not appear in the 1900 census report so I have to believe this is the Hezekiah named with the other children of Wiley and Vine Furr. As of now there is no other information known about him.
Per Gene Gaddy: I think he was living in Cheraw, SC in the early 1940s. I went with my grandfather Dace to visit his brother in Cheraw when I was very small. I think it was Carl.
Kirk Furr Has Been Sentenced.
Albemarle, April 5. The case of State against Kirk Furr, Carl Furr and Keithan Furr, in which these Furr boys have been on trial for their lives In the Superior court here, came to a rather sudden conclusion today, when, after all evidence had been offered and counsel had argued the side of both State and defendants to the jury, a compromise was reached, whereby the case was disposed of without the jury deliberating on the issue involved. The proposition was made by the State through Solicitor Brock that the State would withdraw its demand for murder in the first degree if Kirk Furr would submit to the charge of murder in the second degree and that Kelthan and Carl Furr would submit to manslaughter After some deliberation on the part of the defendants' attorneys, the State's proposition was accepted and a plea of murder in the second degree was entered by Kirk Furr through his counsel, G. D. B. Reynolds and A.F. Seawell, and a plea of guilty to man slaughter was entered by Keithan and Carl Furr by their counsel, A. C. Huneycutt and H. C. Turner. Judge Webb allowed this arrangement and thereupon promptly sentenced Kirk Furr to imprisonment at hard labor in the State penitentiary for a term of 20 years. Keithan Furr and Carl Furr were each sentenced to seven years. This case consumed about two days in the hearing and as hotly contested on both sides all the way through.
