He was my Great Grandfather. According to my dad, he was killed by another farmer in a dispute over the lease of a meadow because he was too big to whip. His hired hand helped him tie the body to a cultivator wheel and dump it in the river. The hired hand got scared and turned him. The man was tried, convicted and sentenced to prison. He never spent one day in jail because the governor of Arkansas pardoned him.
