Hello, My name is Linda Green and I have been told a similar story about someone related to my grandfather, Thomas Stepp. The story that I am familiar with involved a shooting on Christmas also, but the most interesting fact was that this person was also beaten and received markings on his head that outlined the heel of a boot and one of the children that were born also bore this mark. Maybe this is where our similarities part, but to let you know, my version also takes place in Greenup, I am just not sure of the time frame.
