Hello all, In reading through some excerpts from old Shenandoah County newspapers I found the following from June 15, 1905. Woodstock. Turtle Run to the Front. Turtle Run, or Dark Town, which has been quiet for the past several years, was brought to the front again Monday night by George Boyd and Fred Jones, sons-in-law of Payton Lewis, and a general cutting affray took place. The trouble was the same "old story." Fred hit his wife and George went to her rescue with the butt end of a billiard cue and struck Fred with telling effect, cutting a gash about an inch long over each eye. Mr. Jones used his knife and stabbed George over the head and cut a gash about four inches long on the left side of his face, extending from about an inch behind the ear, through the ear and over the eye. Does anyone know where Turtle Run was/is located? Thanks, Don Silvius Coordinator Shenandoah County GenWeb Project http://www.rootsweb.com/~vashenan/vashenan.html
I would imagine that this would be where the Spring Hollow run goes down through Water Street in Woodstock. ?? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Silvius" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 22, 2008 8:18 PM Subject: [VASHENAN] Where is Turtle Run? > Hello all, > > > > In reading through some excerpts from old Shenandoah County newspapers I > found the following from June 15, 1905. > > > > > > Woodstock.
