died November 15, 1900 · Texas

A chronology of 1900 lynchings printed in the Perrysburg Journal in January 1901 reports that a mob took three Black people from a jail in Texas on November 15, 1900, and hanged them. The account gives no names for the three. The town is garbled in the scan, so the location is recorded only as Texas.
