VOICE OF SUMTER, Livingston, Alabama February 28, 1837
A rencountre took place in the streets of our village on Friday last [Feb. 24, 
1837] between Caster Green, of this place, and Dempsey Sturdivant, of this 
county in which the latter was killed by being shot with a pistol.  As this has 
created much excitement and will have to undergo a judicial investigation [we 
will refrain] from giving any further particulars.   Green has been committed 
to _______  his trial in April next.

Additional Comments:
Dempsey Sturdivant was in the 1830 Census of Marengo Co., Al.  His known 
descendants lived in  Choctaw County, Alabama.
