"Loudy" Linton was shot and instantly killed about 8 o'clock Sunday evening by Crawley Justis, both of Saxis, VA. Mr. Justis had recently returned from the asylum very much improved, but becoming demented again and unmanageable, the Justice of the Peace summoned Mr. Linton to assist in arresting him. On approaching his home they were fired upon from an upper window with result as stated. The officer succeeded in making the arrest Monday morning and he was taken to the asylum at Williamsburg, VA. Mr. Linton was a highly respected citizen and the unfortunate affair has cast a gloom over the community. He is survived by his widow and four children, to whom sincere sympathy is extended (Acc News, 27 Aug 1915). Lodi Linton's unmarked grave was identified by Rhoney May Linton in Jun 1981.
Burial* His body was interred at Linton North Cem, Saxis, Acc Co, VA.6

Regarding Lodi Linton's house:
Among three older dwellings clustered south of the Saxis Road/Waynes Drive intersection is the
1880s Lodie Linton House. The narrow, two-story, frame vernacular dwelling reportedly was
moved from a nearby site to its current location at 20428 Saxis Road in 1910. Across the road is
the Justice Cemetery, the island’s third-largest cemetery, containing forty-nine concrete burial
vaults, several of which are unmarked. The plots are loosely grouped into family plots, with the
Ewell family’s six whitewashed vaults enclosed within a low brick and concrete-block wall;
other plots, such as the Bailey, Thomas, Linton, Furniss, and Lewis plots, are less formally
grouped. From the Justice Cemetery south to Free School Road (T-808), Saxis Road residences
are a blend of turn-of-the-twentieth-century Folk Victorian side-gable dwellings, Minimal
Traditional frame houses, and prefabricated housing, nearly all sited close to the street.
