THE MARYVILLE WEEKLY INDEX February 6, 1880
Friday, February 6, 1880



The Clinton Tragedy---In the State vs. A.J. Queener, J.L. Shipe and S.O. Shipe

for the killing of H.M. Bonham, at Clinton, the jury last Monday, acquitted

Queener. Maj. Shipe and his son were found guilty of assault and assault and

battery, respectively, and were fined $50 and costs. The general opinion is

that there suit is an outrage upon justice.



A man named J.F. Davis, sent by the penitentiary lessees to take in charge

Henry Clyburn and William Hartley, departed yesterday with his prisoners.

Davis, it is said, was “fool drunk” the day before, and made himself generally

ridiculous. It is a shame to send such a fellow to take charge of prisoners.



Sheriff A.M. Rule has employed Lee Frazier to take charge of the Work House

convicts and to oversee the removal of the Court House rubbish. Mr. Frazier

took charge of the convicts and commenced the work on Wednesday.



Mr. Leo Ferrary is helping the work house hands to remove the debris of the

old Court House. This is a much more honorable employment than selling liquor,

as well as more beneficial to the public.



John D. Headrick, who was sentenced by the Federal Court to three years in the

Nashville penitentiary, has been pardoned and is now restored to his family in

this county. He had been confined a little over a year.



From Brick Mill---On Thursday, the 29th of January, Mrs. Carrie N. Henry

departed this life. Mrs. Henry had been confined to her bed for some time from

a fall which had fractured her ankle, and caused her to be a cripple. However,

she had go so that she could sit up and do a little work. On the 29th ult.,

about 12 P.M., she was sitting in her chair by the fireside, when she called

for the nurse and told her to put her in bed. She was engaged at the time in

some kind of hand work, and laying it down, said that she could not do anymore

of it just now. The nurse succeeded in putting her to bed. Soon after friends

were called in, and Dr. S.D. Lane was immediately sent for, but before he came

she was dead. Mrs. Henry was born in the State of North Carolina, in the year

1800. She moved to Tennessee quite young, after which she married James Henry.

She and her husband lived together for many years and accumulated some good

property, but in the year 1844 her husband died, leaving her with a large

family to raise. Mrs. Henry was a member of Baker’s Creek Presbyterian Church

for upwards of forty years, and has been a faithful and devoted Christian. She

had many friends, and we are glad to say she is enjoying that rest which

remained for the people of God. She was buried at Baker’s Creek graveyard on

the 30th ult., the funeral being attended by a large number of her friends and

relations.
