Lorance of this county, died Monday after a short illness, which he in his last hours said was caused by a blow on his head by a hammer by the hands of James W. Fowler, a well known farmer of the Garden Valley District, struck in a difficulty between the two men several weeks ago. Lorance told his relatives he had not been well since the injury and that it was caused by the blow struck by Fowler, Lorance was well known here and in the county, and had a number of friends. > News of his death, followerd by a warrant sworn out by his father against Fowler, for murder, caused a sensation. The warrant was placed in the hands of officers, who went out Tuesday to make the arrest. > Mr. Lorance's remains were interred near his old home at Fountainville Thursday. > [Note: I do not find a marked grave in "Cemeteries of Macon County" for Mike Lorance. He is not listed in his father's household in 1900 Census of Macon County.]. > > > This is an automatically-generated notice. > > <http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/MaconObits?admin> > >
