The Georgia Enterprise, January 3, 1873
Fatally Shot
      On Christmas evening a Negro named JOHN YANCEY was fatally shot near 
Rocky Plains. A disturbance had occurred between some other parties that 
afternoon at Steadman, and it is thought JOHN was killed by mistake, as a 
result of that difficulty. We are not prepared to report particulars, as the 
case is not yet fully investigated. The deceased is said to have been a very 
inoffensive and quiet freedman against whom no one was known to entertain ill 
will.
