Notes - It has been reported that on the back of the death certificate of Joseph Brassfield Glenn there is a note written that he was shot on 27 Aug 1903. The other brother, Alexander Velria Glenn, was said to be involved in the gun fight. Alexander died 13 May 1904, which is on his tombstone.
It is reported that the two brothers killed their uncle(their mother's brother), Nathaniel M. Stockton, during the gunfight. - Article from The Journal of Monroe County History, in which the writer states this happened in the early 1900s.
My great-grandfather, Nathaniel M. "Bud" Stockton, son of Robert Nelson Stockton and Mary Jane Baldwin was born Jul 1863. He married Zoe Webb 3 Jan 1884* in Monroe Co. He was in the 1900 Monroe County census and Zoe was listed as a widow in the 1910 census. The story goes that he and his cousins rode their horses to a political rally in Amory. They were drinking and one cousin shot Bud who was taken to Memphis (MS or TN?) and there he died. Charges were not made against any of the cousins. When did this happen?
