> >November 13, 1894 page 2 col 4: The news comes that Dudley Wolf killed Oliver McDowell at Wilmot in Ashley Co., on the Louisiana line one day last week. Dudley is the son of our former county man Lum Wolf and while it is thought that the killing was justifiable on the plea of self defense, the act has nevertheless created intense excitement on account of the well known character of McDowell for honorable citizenship. The particulars have not been received and we forbear making any comments. Boy, Jann, you are good. You just keep finding skeletons that even Ms. Nosey I did not know about. This Dudley would be the first cousin of my grandfather, Dan Wolfe. I wonder if the Gazette/Democrat has more information on this. Better yet, I wonder what newspaper in Ashley County would have been around then. rdea, do you know the newspapers of Ashley Co? Would Wilmott have had one to your knowledge? Does the Ashley Co. Library or the one at Crossett have these on microfilm??? If you know, rdea, or anyone else???? I wonder if any of my Wolfe/Thurmans did anything for recreation back then besides shoot and kill one another.*smile* .....and to think, everyone thought the lacey bunch of the 40's & 50's were tough.:-)BETh
