The Marion County Patriot, No. 6 February 8, 1889 Page Two Glenalta Scraps The killing of Mr. Daniel W. McKennon by Mr. Jesse Wilkerson in the suburbs of Cusseta on Thursday, January 31st, was one of the saddest occurrences that had happened in our community for years. Deep sympathy is felt by our people for the widowed mother and sisters of the deceased. Mr. McKennon was about 30 years old, and was one of the noblest of men. He had the confidence and love of all who knew him, and was a quiet, peaceable citizen. Mr. Wilkerson had a preliminary trial before Justices D.J. Fussell, J.M. Renfro and George Sapp on last Monday. He was bound over in the sum of $750 bond. Able counsel has been employed on both sides. Additional Comments: Transcriber note: The last name of Daniel McKinnon was spelled differently in each article. I'm not a researcher of this family and don't know which spelling is correct.
