McClurg, King (colored) - At the November election of 1874, at Linn
Creek, King McClurg, who had been a slave of Gov. Joseph W. McClurg, 
and some other colored men, were engaged in front of the court house
in a controversy or difficulty with some white men, when a white man,
being in the court house where the ballot box was kept, rushed out,
seized a rock and threw it at McClurg and killed him.  The white man
afterward fled the country, and has never been apprehended.
