Died in jail or a lockup
Name not reported
A Black man held in the Lancaster, South Carolina, jail was taken from it by a party of about twenty-five men, who carried him roughly three miles and lynched him, according to the Oxford Eagle's June 1894 report. The paper's account does not describe whether jail officers resisted the group or handed him over. His name and the exact date of his death are garbled in the source text, so neither can be confirmed from this report.
