Marshall Stinebeck

Marshall Stineback was one of three Black brothers held in the Tiptonville jail in Lake County, Tennessee. On November 24, 1908, a mob took him and his two brothers from the jail and hanged them, though newspaper accounts differ on whether the hanging took place at a church scaffold or from a tree. Attorney J. T. Burdette pleaded with the crowd to let the law take its course. Governor Patterson had telegraphed the sheriff to prevent the lynching.

Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched. A mob took Marshall Stineback and his two brothers from the Tiptonville jail in Lake County, Tennessee, and hanged them, with one member of the mob firing a shot into his body.
