Boonville Standard, Friday, May 21, 1897: A DASTARDLY CRIME An atrocious murder, which will not add to the good name of our community, was committed near Selvin, in Pigeon township on Tuesday afternoon. Samuel Asa HULL, aged 72 years, and one of the best known farmers of Warrick county, was mysteriously shot and killed in a woods-pasture near his home Tuesday about 4 o'clock p. m. Mr. HULL lived with his daughter Agnes, about two miles east of Selvin. He was divorced from his wife a little more than a year ago. The parents had five children, three boys and two girls. All the children are now grown. Samuel R. HULL, aged 27 years, and the youngest son of the murdered man, is now lying in jail, having been arrested by Sheriff CHERRY, on Wednesday as the suspected murderer. The story of the crime, so far as the Standard has been learn the particulars, is as follows. One Tuesday afternoon a neighboring farmer sent his little boy to "Uncle" Asa, informing the latter that his hogs were in the former's field, and that they must be driven home. Mr. HULL promptly saddled his horse, and in order to get quickly to his hogs, cut across the adjoining farm of his son Sam. The latter was plowing at the time, and called out to his father to go by the public roadway, as his farm was not intended to be used by travelers. A sharp conversation was held, and was heard by the small boy, who was accompanying "Uncle" Asa. The latter, however, went his way, got his hogs, and returned the same way he went--through his son Sam's farm, as this course was shorter. This is known to be true, s the hog and horse tracks demonstrate. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon several of the neighbors heard pistols shots in the woods-pasture on young HULL'S farm. After several hours, when Uncle Asa did not return home, and his horse and hogs were running wild, a search was instituted for him. It was not until about midnight, however that his body was found. George RICE and Gust PITTMAN made the discovery of the dead body in the strip of wood already alluded to. The other neighbors were informed and a night watch was kept over the remains, as the intention was to have the County Coroner see the body in the position it was found dead. At an early hour next day Squire CAIN, of Selvin, the deputy coroner, and attorney SMITH, of Gentryville, the deputy Pros. Att'y, were on the grounds, and the body was taken home. It was found that three bullets , 38 cla., had entered the body. Any of the balls were sufficient to cause death. One entered the back, another the stomach, and still another the side going clear through the body. Two balls were extracted by Doctor SPRADLEY, of Selvin. Sheriff CHERRY arrived on the scene shortly after dinner, and he at once arrested Sam HULL. The latter waived a preliminary hearing before Squire CAIN; but an inquest was held and some important testimony gathered in that manner. Mrs. Henry WINDELL, a neighbor, swore that in the afternoon of the crime, Sam HULL came to her home, and going to a drawer, got his pistol, which several months previously he had lent to Mrs. WINDELL'S husband. Soon after the young HULL had secured the weapon, Mrs. WINDELL heard the shooting in the woods, where the body was discovered. It was found that the bullets extracted from the body, and the cartridges which the pistol carried, were both the same, 38-calibre. Sam HULL denied every thing connected with the crime. After the inquest, Sheriff CHERRY brought HULL to Boonville and lodged him in jail. The prisoner is married, but has no children. It is known that he and his father of late years have had much trouble. A few months since, Asa HULL and his son Sam arrested on a charge of stealing lumber. The case came before the last March term of Circuit Court, but the suit was thrown out, as the court thought it was groundless. Miss Agnes HULL swore at the inquest that she had numerous times heard her brother Sam threaten to kill his father. Thus the testimony against Sam appears to be very strong. the prisoner however, stoutly denies any connection with the murder. The burial of Asa HULL took place yesterday. The crime is regretted by every good citizen of Warrick county, as it casts a bad repute around the vicinity in which such an outrageous murder should occur. The general opinion is that the true criminal cannot escape the law.

The Boonville Standard, Friday, October 8, 1897: The Boonville Fair The Boonville Fair, held here last week, was the best attended Fair ever held in this county. Evansville, Rockport and other neighboring cities contributed liberally to the attendance. The Fair was a success in every particular, the stock exhibit was hardly up to last years standard, but the exhibits in the floral hall, especially the fancy work and bric-a-brac departments were very fine. Financially the Fair was a great success, the Association clearing about $500, which will be spent in improvements, an addition will probably be built to the west end of the amphitheatre. The racing this year was very good the running races were the most exciting ever run on our track, another commendable feature of the Fair was the absence of gambling devices and intoxicants.

Hi all, I know this is a long shot, but does anybody have any information about the Faass family. The information I have so far dates back to Samuel Faass, b 18 Oct 1825 and d 14 June 1900. I am looking for a connection to his father, who I believe was Jacob Faass. To the best of my knowledge, they immigrated to the US in the around 1850. Jacob Faass was either married or had a mistress with him, whose name might have been Mary Hebb. She, in turn, is believed to be from the UK. Samuel Faass had a son, John J. Faass, who was a Veterinarian in Boonville. Does anyone know of any records that might indicate the year they came to the US, and where they came from? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Juergen Germany, Bavaria

Thanks for your help, Tamara. Do you know what township Wheatonville is in, or the name of that cemetary? Cookie, in Florida

Hi, Tamara... Do you have any information on the cemetery at Wheatonville? I think it's in Gibson County, but it's very close to Warrick. My great-great=grandmother, Sarah (Burton) Cook is buried there. She came from Cambridgeshire, England, in 1851, with her husband, Joseph Cook, her son, Frederick Cook, and her daughter, Emily Cook. She died shortly after their arrival, two or three years I think, and, according to family tradition, was buried at the Wheatonville Cemetery. Joseph later married Paulina Jane Jaco and had several mor children. JosephJane, and other Cooks are buried at Barnett's Chapel Cemetery at Stanley, in Warrick County. If you don't have anything perhaps you could direct me to someone conected to that cemetery, Any help would be appreciated. Cookie, in Florida
