Jackson Argus – Week of January 11,1895
Near Jenkinsburg, just over the line in Henry County, on Thursday night, a 
Negro by the name of Nesl (Nols) Brock shot and killed a Negro by the name of 
Tom Lommus.  We learn the Negro that got shot lay out on the ground all night 
and was found by some white men who happened to pass that way early this 
morning.

A white man who was at the Negro frolic where Lummus was killed, was asked by 
the coroner why he ran so when the row commenced.  He replied, that the reason 
he was so was because he could not fly.



NOTE: the surname is spelled Lommus and Lummus
