Hello. Allen Turner was my 2nd Great Grandfather. I have heard stories about what happened but I would really like to see what was put in the paper at that time. I have tried finding the article you referenced but haven’t had any luck. Would you possibly be able to assist me in finding the article or lead me in the right direction?

Mr. Turner, I have pasted a copy of the article from the News-Star in the original blog post so you can see it. For some reason, it wouldn’t let me post it in the reply. I hope this helps.

The story that was passed down through our family is that Allen was protecting his son who was being assaulted. After Allen was lynched he was drug through the black part of town and left as a warning to the other black folk in Spearsville.
