In course of the inquiry, County Attorney Neil Clark told Charles Freeicks, proprietor of the Eagle Drug store that if anything was brought out warranting it, he would bring charges. In spite of this, Freericks, testified at the hearing. The dead are Charles Thomas, W. E. Ricketts and Cecil R. Robinson. Note: A very long article regarding the death and circumstances of their death that was brought out at the hearing. |
Note: These obituaries are transcribed as published and are submitted by volunteers who have no connection to the families. They do not write the obituaries and have no further information other than what is posted within the obituaries. We do not do personal research. For this you would have to find a volunteer who does this or hire a professional researcher.
