Charlotte, I will look and see what I can find the next time I go to the paper office, but there probably won't be much if anything on it. Back then they just didn't write stuff on the colored people. I have found this out in my reading of the Obits. There are several obits for the killing of colored people and they explain what happened but then there isn't anything else said about.
