Middle Ga Argus
Murder – Wade Yancy
A young colored man named Wade Yancy was Killed by Sam Grier at the colored 
Baptist church on what is called Pepperton about noon on Sunday.  The weapon 
used was a pistol, and the ball went directly through the heart, producing 
death instantly.

We learn that a trivial dispute arose between a sister of Grier and Yancy, when 
Grier walked up and shot Yancy down without a word.  An attempt was made to 
arrest the murdered by a posse of colored men and one of them, John Hardy, was 
shot in the shoulder.  Grier was overpowered, however , and brought to town and 
turned  over to Sheriff Beauchamp who placed him in jail
