Death Claims Witness Of Tennessee Slaying

  Rachel Ann Conder, last but one of the surviving witnesses of the "Tennessee 
Massacre" of 1884, died recently, according to word received by the church 
News. At the time of her death she was residing with her brother-in-law and 
sister, Mr. and Mrs. William Haley, near Hohenwald, Tenn.
  Miss Conder and Mrs. Haley were young girls when the mob came to the Conder 
farm and shot down their two brothers, William Martin Conder and John Riley 
Hudson, a son of Mrs. Conder by a former marriage, and Elders William S. Berry 
and John H. Gibbs, missionaries from Utah.
  The mob slaying occured the morning of Aug. 10, 1884, as the missionaries 
met with the family to hold a Sunday morning service.


Note: Parents were James (Jim) and Malinda Conder.
