Kinston Free Press (12 Oct 1905)
Tarboro, Oct. 11. - Mr. S.T. CHERRY, one of the most prominent men in the county, 
was accidentally killed on his plantation near Rocky Mount late yesterday 
afternoon.  The circumstances which caused his death are singular.  Mr. CHERRY had 
gone out into the woods and secreted himself for the purpose of finding out who he 
thought was hunting unlawfully on his land.  Dempsey WEAVER, a tenant, was doing 
the hunting and seeing a small portion of Mr. CHERRY's form moving behind the 
bushes, mistook it for a squirrel and shot, killing Mr. CHERRY instantly.

Additional Comments:
I believe this story is about Solomon T. Cherry.
