The Daily Dispatch: January 22, 1862., [Electronic resource], Murder in Gratson. (search)
getting from the house, and very soon after they had gotten off the porch. Fielding Isom, a son of John Isom, struck James Taylor a blow from the porch with a stick of wood. Whether he fell from this blow, or received others equally deadly, is not known. An examination made showed some three blows upon the head, any of which might have produced death. Taylor's face was also much bruised. John Isom is now in our jail awaiting his trial. His son Fielding was apprehended Tuesday morning at Bristol, and will be brought to this place to-morrow. After the murder had been committed, John went in pursuit of the truant Sue, and came up with her and her lover just as they were approaching the flower-decked borders of "Gretna Green." Thus, within a few hours of the same night, has a murder been committed, and all the fondest anticipations of youth and beauty been blasted in the bud. This is the fifth murder that has been committed in our county within the last two years--Rep, 20th.
