Name not reported
He was a Black religious leader well known among Black residents of the area, and he was due to be ordained the following Saturday. While held in the custody of a sheriff in Arkansas, he was taken by a mob of about ten men and killed in the woods in the southern part of the county on June 13, 1898. The Bryan Daily Eagle reported that his body was pierced by Winchester bullets and left hanging with a placard warning other Black people. The account names the sheriff as the official who held him but describes the mob's actions and the placard, not what the sheriff did as the mob came.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched. A mob of about ten men took him from the sheriff's custody, killed him in the woods and left his body hanging with a warning placard.
