I know about the feud and shootout. I was told that it was a duel, pure and simple. However I found the inquest information - from another newspaper - at the Union Parish web site and it would appear that Judge Trimble took a bullet to the temple although Dr. Ramsey never fired his gun. I think this qualifies as a bushwhack but I'm not a dueling expert. The incident is mentioned in his Williams College obit, which I do have. I was surprised by his CSA service, too. However, he served apparently with distinction but said he never gave up his Unionist leanings. I would very much like to have his CSA service record but I just don't know where to start. If I had to guess, I would think he was in something like a judge advocate's unit; just guessing mind you. Mrs. Trimble evidently lived in Farmerville for several years after his death. My husband was given a volume of the Farmerville Gazette. We gave the original volume to the Louisiana State Archives and they had it microfilmed and sent us a copy of the film. Samuel Carleton Trimble (son) married Homie Baughman. He was found to have pernicious anemia at a fairly young age and died after the couple had three children and he had founded the Orange Ice and Power Company (I think that is the correct name of the company) in Orange, Texas.
