WHO was G. P. CRABTREE who murdered Isaac N. Coffee in 1896 in Cairo, IL?
Does anyone know any more details about this murder and/or what happened to G. P. Crabtree?
From the out-of-print book, "Vital Statistics of Far Western Kentucky", by M. Juliette Magee
I. N. (Isaac) COFFEE, born March 7, 1852, killed in Cairo July 26, 1896 by G. P. CRABTREE, his former clerk. Age 44 years, 4 months, 19 days. Embalmed and buried in Blandville in Vault by I.O.O.F and K. of P. of Cairo, at 3 p. m. on 29th, big funeral.
(Isaac had a Drug Store in Cairo)
Note: Isaac Coffee was from a prominent Ballard Co. Family. His wife was Lucy Prudence BUGG, also from a prominent Ballard Co. family
Does anyone have a photo of Isaac Coffee, Lucy Bugg Coffee or their family members????????
Note - I am not a Crabtree, Coffee or Bugg descendant. I am working on a project about murders of Ballard Co. residents.

Is there any way that I can contact any of the descendants of J.A. Hawkins (1835-1922) and his wife, Alice Hawkins (1844-1916)? They were from Lunenburg County, VA. Also any descendants of Samuel T. Hawkins (1872-1952)and his wife, Vivian T. Hawkins (1882-1963)? Also William "Willie" L. Hawkins(b. abt 1868) and his wife, Susie T. Hawkins (b. abt. 1878)? These men were brothers and nephews of my great grandfather John Thomas Hawkins of Lunenburg County, VA.
Congrats to Jerry whose Lee brickwall dated Oct 2007 has given way to lots of information.
