Thank you so much. That confirms my G-grandmother's written account of what happened in her relationship with John. She said last time she saw him was @ the Undertakers, shot in face. I've tried to determine where Lula & John lived @ that time. She said that John had a small cabin in the Mnts.,(which ones?),but had built them a house nearby. I'm trying to get copy of Martha's B.Cert. That is why I hoped to find out exactly where John died. Lula said he worked @ Sawmills & crossed over Mtns between NC&TN. I'm heartbroken to find out John killed by own brother. What a tragic day for the Sawyer family. I E-mailed my cousin Joanna in case she didn't see your post. I'm still gathering the research to send in few days. Finding you is a "God Send". I'm so grateful. Cousin,Gail
