It sounds like they were just having a laugh over Mrs.  Douglas telling her husband that since they made the title of the article. Mrs.  Douglas' Hero. I sure wish I could help you but can't.  But I love to see you guys  talking and figuring out some mystery like this. Hope you are doing Ok Ken. Good to see an email from you!!    Nova .

Ken --------------------------------------- The  Chicago Tribune Chicago, Illinois 1885 Mrs. Douglas'  Hero. Bladesville (Miss.) Blade. One day last week, in the  eastern portion of this county, one Mr. Douglas was shot to death by one  Parmertree. Douglas and Parmertree had a law-suit which resulted in the  latter's favor. Douglas' wife, who was present, told her husband that he  had been imposed upon, that she would rather be the widow of a dead hero  than the wife of a living coward, and that he must kill  lParmertree. Afterward Parmertree went down to Douglas' house, and not  finding him was returning when Douglas shot at him from behind a tree and  came out. Parmertree leveled his piece and snot and instantly killed  Douglas. Parmertree surrendered himself to the officer of the  law. ------------------------------- Visit the Palmertree Family  History website at  http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~palmrtre/index.htm ------------------------------- To  unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to  [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes  in the subject and the body of the  message ------------------------------- Visit the Palmertree Family History website at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~palmrtre/index.htm ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
