The Tifton Gazette November 16, 1900
	Lewis Drawdy was cut and almost instantly killed by Joe Ivey at the 
former Allen Hesters gin, near Lenox, Saturday last, in a fight over some old 
family trouble.
	The accounts of the affair practically agree that Drawdy went to the 
gin, now run by Peterson, where Ivey was firing the engine.  There had been 
bad feeling between the men over some family trouble, and this Drawdy renewed, 
although Ivey three times told him he did not have time to talk with him.  In 
a few minutes, following an abusive remark of Drawdy’s in regard to Ivey’s 
mother, the men clinched for a fight,  and Ivey cut Drawdy six times across 
the breast with a pocket knife, one cut laying the breast open to the heart.
	Drawdy called to those standing by “Lay me down, he has killed me,” 
and in a few minutes expired.  His remains were buried at the Harman Baker 
burying ground next day.	
	Ivey made no attempt to escape, but surrendered himself to the 
officers and was carried to Nashville where his committal trial was set for 
yesterday.
	Both Ivey and Drawdy were well known citizens of Berrien.  Drawdy 
leaves an estate of considerable value.
