Excerpt:
"Any serious researcher has access to many resources, the least of which is on-line newspaper archives subscription services. I ran a search and came up with the story of William C. Anderson killing another man by the name of Thomas over a land dispute. He himself was badly wounded in the shotgun confrontation."
