Obituary: Lee, Burrell - We learn from Mr. Wesley Kelly of Clifty, the particulars of a shooting affray near Blanset Station. Mr J.W. Knox shot and killed Burrell Lee. The difficulty arose at a dance in the Neighborhood and Lee insulted Knox when Knox gave him a sound threshing. On the Monday following Lee rode up to where Knox was at work with his team, and with out warning of his intention began firing at Knox, two shots taking effect in the leg. Knox then drew his pistol and at first fire Lee leaped from his saddle, mortally wounded. Lee died Tuesday at 11 o'clock. Knox has not been arrested and is suffering intensely from the two shots received in the leg. Obituary ran in the Fayetteville Democrat Dec.12, 1882
Burrell Lee (7355711)
Burr's name appears on the 1860 census as age 1. I believe he was born in 1859, not 1861. Thank you for your consideration. Diane.
