Marshall Steinback
Marshall Stineback was one of three Black brothers held in the Tiptonville jail in Lake County, Tennessee. On the night of November 24, 1908, a mob took the three men from the jail, placed them in a wagon, and hanged them from a scaffold inside a Black church. One account says a member of the mob fired a shot into his body, while another says many shots were fired into the bodies. The governor had telegraphed the sheriff to prevent the lynching, and a lawyer asked the crowd to wait for a trial.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched. A mob took Marshall Stineback and his two brothers from the Tiptonville jail, hanged them from a scaffold in a Black church, and fired shots into his body, per news accounts.
