Notes
Death
Wilburn Furr, a fisherman living in a cabin situated under the high bluffs at Memphis, met death one night last week at the hands of highwaymen and in a peculiar manner. He was held up as he was going home, robbed of all the money he had and beaten in the stomach and breast until fatal injuries had been inflicted. After that he made his way home over a most perilous course and died in his humble cabin.Bolivar Bulletin, Bolivar, Tennessee, September 2, 1898
