Died in custody
Jim Gllmore
Jim Gllmore was one of three Black men held in the custody of the Orange County sheriff and taken to Orlando for safekeeping in March 1897. According to The Roanoke Times, about fifty armed men took the three men from the sheriff, hanged them from trees and shot their bodies. The newspaper's account is the only source for these events, and it does not say how the sheriff responded to the mob.
