I am searching for a newspaper item of my Aunt Wellington Smith Adair who was murdered in 1922 in Mays County by a negro farm hand according to her husband obituary 7 years later.
In the obituary of George S. Adair from Bourbon Co., ky August 9, 1929 it stated he was dispondent about the death of his wife, George committed suicide on August 8, 1929 and it says his wife died 7 years ago yesterday in Oklahoma when she was brutally assulted and murdered by a negro farm hand, it says that the negro was afterward legally executed. I am assuming from that date and 7 years back then she would have died August 7, 1922. he remains were taken back to Kentucky for burial, There should have been a front page articule on this person in the news. can anyone help with this
