! With Melvin Laughlin were killed two unknown men. None of those were
killed until after Pea Ridge battle, in 1862.  Those marked thus (*),
killed with arms, as bushwhackers; the others killed in retaliatory spirit
by soldiers. These bushwhackers were engaged in pillaging, burning, not
confined alone to Union people, but known Southern sympathizers suffered
from them directly, as Allen Painter, now living near Pineville, who had
the soles of his feet burnt to a crisp by them, can testify; also Joseph
Weems of Newton County, who was burned in the same way in the hope of
getting money.
