The Semi-Weekly Messenger (Wilmington NC) February 8, 1898
A letter received here today gives particulars of a serious shooting which
occurred in that county on Sunday, January 23rd. The letter states that William
Church and Charles Hamby, two young men, aged about 19 years each, were with
several other young people at Patton Ridge school house when the two got into a
row. After exchanging some warm words, Hamby threw a rock at Church. Hamby also
drew his pistol and fired at Church, the ball taking effect in the breast. The
wounded man was alive when the letter was written on the 28th, but little hope
was entertained for his recovery.
