Marietta Journal/Issue of March 1, 1872
On Monday morning last, Mr. Q. S. Price, of Fayette County, shot a young man 
by the name of Hubbard, who had been paying his addresses to his daughter, 
much against the will of Mr. Price, who had frequently notified him to 
discontinue his visits, but without avail, as it seems the young lady was 
determined to marry him.  On Monday morning, Hubbard called at the house of 
Price, and after a few words passed between them, the latter stepped into his 
room, got his gun, and emptied its contents into the body of the former, 
inflicting a painful, but not dangerous, wound.  The young lady, seeing what 
had been done, went to Whitewater Creek, close by, jumped in and was drowned.  
Her body was found on Tuesday evening near Price's old bridge.  These are the 
facts as we have them. - Griffin Star
