- MALLORY - CECIL - - - - 9 26 1892 - 12 18 1912 - MT.VERNON - NO HEADSTONE - 12-20-1912 MURDER TRADEDY AND ITS HORRIBLE SEQUEL=In the killing of Deputy Sheriff R.S.Moore, followed by the pursuit and subsequent killing of his slayer, Cecil Mallory, on Wednesday, Dec.18,1912, the citizens of Forrest City have again passed through a day of horror and excitement. These tragic events have taken from our midst one of the county's most and efficient officers, and on the other hand, brought grief to the homes of some of our best and loyal friends. Despite his waywardness, Cecil Mallory was loved by his grandmother, Mrs.Moore, where he could always go and find a welcome and by whom he was always loved and t whom he never appealed in vain. To Mrs.Moore, Cecil was never her "little boy," and she cherished, nourished and sheltered him, even when the world had turned its back on him, and even when the stories against him were the blackest. Young Cecil's father, Mr.Emmet Mallory, has always stood staunchly by his son and endeavored to keep him away from evil elements. His uncles, Messers.Ed, John and Ike Mallory, have never faltered in their loyalty and friendship to Cecil. It seems after killing Moore, Cecil decided that he would never surrender to the authority of the law. He took the deputy's gun and keys, recovered after he was shot down at Widener. He drew his gun when told to halt by two deputy's in pursuit, and they fired a double barrelled shotgun into Mallory, killing him within minutes without a word spoken. Moore's body was conveyed to the home of Col.and Mrs.D.Downey, until when the body was shipped to Goodwin township, to be buried at the family. The deceased's father, Mr.W.R.Moore, and his brother Mr.Lee Moore, of Goodwin accompanied the body.

Mrs. Mary Ramsey Mann was the eldest daughter of Nathaniel P. and Judith D. Ramsey, and was born January 24, 1869, at Trenton, Tenn. She spent much of her girlhood in school at Franklin, Tenn., and graduated in Nashville at Price's College with the highest honors of her class. She was married to Mr. Samuel H. Mann at Humboldt, Tenn., on June 5, 1889, and to their union four children were born, viz: Frances R. Mann, Sam H. Mann, Jr., Mattie H. Mann and Edwin Earl Mann, all of whom survive her except the latter, who died in Forrest City in 1898, while yet an infant. With the exception of the first two years, she lived all her married life in Forrest City. Three brothers, Messrs. R. W. and J. B. Ramsey, of Memphis, and E. D. Ramsey, of Clinton, Ky., two sisters, Mrs. W. C. Porter, of Clinton, Ky., and Mrs. J. H. Davis, of Baltimore, Md., and her husband, Judge S. H. Mann., of this city, also survive her. Mrs. Mann had been in falling health for several years, and had sought the advice and skill of the best physicians. It was with hope tht the diet, the quiet and the scientific treatment woudl benefit her, that she went a short time ago to the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Little Rock. While there she had the most careful nursing, and at first seemed to improve.

McCormick in the Forrest City Times Newspaper, Oct.25,1895.The residence of Mrs.Jennie P.Hodges, one mile south of this city, the happy blending of spring, autumn and spring, so to speak, at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon, Oct.22,1895, the occasion was the marriage of George W.McCormick to Mrs.Jennie P. Hodges, County Judge J.S.R.Cowan officiating. Both groom and bride are in robust health and strength, at the age of 67 and 56 years, respectively. Both parties to the union are well and favorably known throughout this section of country and in Memphis, and hosts of friends are well wishers in their new role. Immediately after the ceremony quite a surprise was sprung upon the audience who had gathered to witness the proceedings of the occasion, by the appearance of J.G.Boyle upon the scene announcing that he and Miss V.M.McCormick, daughter of Mr.G.W.McCormick, had been married one week prior to the aforesaid occasion. - Death of George W.McCormick-As the Times goes to press today, the remains of one of our dear friends is being laid to rest in the Forrest City Cemetery. About ten days ago "Uncle George" McCormick, as he was familiarly known, was stricken from his usual walks with sickness. It came in the form of a chill, and rapidly developed into pleure-pneumonia. He suffered greatly and lingered until yesterday, Mar.29,1900, when he passed into another sphere. The funeral today at 11 o'clock was conducted by Eld.A.N.Couch, of the Baptist church, and a large concourse of bereaved relatives and sorrowing friends followed the remains to their last resting place. Mr.George W.McCormick was born in Henderson, Kentucky, May 3,1829, and if he had lived until the third of May, next year, he would be 71 years of age. He had been married four times, the last time in 1895 to Mrs.Permelia Kent Hodges, mother of Will, Sam and Lewis Hodges, who are well known. He leaves a wife and three children, Mrs.Clara Howell of Memphis, by his first wife, and Hugh and Vivia (Mrs.Bud Boyle) who will greatly miss fatherly protection and counsel. "Uncle George" was a cousin to McCormick of the "McCormick Reaper" fame, and a cousin of Leander J.McCormick who died just a month ago, and who before his death prepared a history of the McCormick family, accurately tracing the lineal descendants from their ancestor who lived in the year of our lord, 1628 down to the year 1898. His death extinguishes the old McCormick line, all of whom lived to a ripe old age. L.J. was 73 years old at his death. George McCormick came to Arkansas in the early 50's from Kentucky. He was one of the pioneer settlers, and by hard work, economy, and frugality was considered well-to-do at his death. As late as the last day of last summer, he was out in the fields, and brought his produce to town in his familiar wagon. In 1878 he patented a churn which took first premium at the Centennial Exposition, but his model was stolen and other parties benefitted by it. He also invented the "Planet Jr. Cultivator", we think, and from that received a considerable income. 3-30-1900

McGee, and daughter of Mrs. Alice Casteel of this city, died Sunday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at their hotel in Colorado Springs, Colorado, whence they had gone hoping to restore her health, after a lingering illness of several months.

The bed was withing two feet of the window, and the assassin fired a shot through a broken pane literally, tearing away the top of the victim's head and setting the pillow on fire as the pistol was so close to the head.

I was pleased to know that his old age was spent in quiet retirement, free from the cares and anxieties of life; that a useful career was crowned by a happy and contented end. A Friend.

- MOORE - B. - S. - DEP.SHERIFF - - UNK - 12 18 1912 - GOODWIN - A DEPUTY SHERIFF UNMARKED - 12-20-1912 MURDER TRADEDY AND ITS HORRIBLE SEQUEL=In the killing of Deputy Sheriff R.S.Moore, followed by the pursuit and subsequent killing of his slayer, Cecil Mallory, on Wednesday, Dec.18,1912, the citizens of Forrest City have again passed through a day of horror and excitement. These tragic events have taken from our midst one of the county's most and efficient officers, and on the other hand, brought grief to the homes of some of our best and loyal friends. Despite his waywardness, Cecil Mallory was loved by his grandmother, Mrs.Moore, where he could always go and find a welcome and by whom he was always loved and t whom he never appealed in vain. To Mrs.Moore, Cecil was never her "little boy," and she cherished, nourished and sheltered him, even when the world had turned its back on him, and even when the stories against him were the blackest. Young Cecil's father, Mr.Emmet Mallory, has always stood staunchly by his son and endeavored to keep him away from evil elements. His uncles, Messers.Ed, John and Ike Mallory, have never faltered in their loyalty and friendship to Cecil. It seems after killing Moore, Cecil decided that he would never surrender to the authority of the law. He took the deputy's gun and keys, recovered after he was shot down at Widener. He drew his gun when told to halt by two deputy's in pursuit, and they fired a double barrelled shotgun into Mallory, killing him within minutes without a word spoken. Moore's body was conveyed to the home of Col.and Mrs.D.Downey, until when the body was shipped to Goodwin township, to be buried at the family. The deceased's father, Mr.W.R.Moore, and his brother Mr.Lee Moore, of Goodwin accompanied the body.

MITTIE MOORE, On October 10th, 1912, Mrs. Mittie Moore, beloved and idoilzed wife of Esq. Creed T. Moore, passed from earth to glory. For twenty-five sweet and sad years we trod life's rugged pathway together. No purer, nobler, sweeter soul e'er shared the life of man. She took me when a stranger, wandering from the folds of God, with no fortune but may talents, no friend but my strong right arm, a stranger, in a strange land she dared to chain her snow white barque to this stranger's craft, and oh, as I look back o'er these twenty-five years of earthly bliss, sprinkled with sorrow; as I sit alone today and brood o'er the past, I can now more fully than ever realize my loss. Thought reared an orphan and having never known the tender love and undying devotion of a mother, yet God inspired her pure and noble soul with a spirit and love that will never, no never die, but will live on enshrined forever in the hearts of those whom she was left behind. Mrs. Mittie Moore was a grand-daughter of Mitchel Taylor, and a daughter of Jonas Srum. She has one brother living at Colt, Ark., Laurence W. Srum, and one at Hartford, Ark., W. H. Srum. She was married to Creed T. Moore, a native of Chichasaw county Mississippi, in the month of September, 1887. Eight children blessed their union - four of whom preceded her to that beautiful home over there while four remain on earth to cheer and comfort as best they can her sad and broken hearted husband. Yes, dear wife, dear Mittie, you have left us, our brightest, earthly light has gone out, but the shadows of thy depareted spirit will ever beckon me on to purer, higher and nobler things. I will meet you darling, I will greet you in the sweet bye and bye. Husband. TO MY WIFE. On October tenth, nineteen twelve, My darling wife left me. And went to Heaven to dwell. While I must live and be. Twenty-five sad and sweet years ago I met and loved this orphan girl Many sweet faces had I met before, But here in her, I found my little world. But oh my darling, no tongue or pen, Can e'er portray my beautious gem, That noble brown and heart so pure, Will guide me on the Heaven secure. Those faithful hands - that mother's love, Was inspired by One above, Together we trod this earthly shore, Through eternity may we ever go. Mittie, darling you are gone, But In that Resurrection morn, I will meet you, I will greet you On that ever-green shore. Of our children you have four. Over on that other shore, Keep them closely, sweetly, dear, While I struggle on here. Of our children, I have four, Over here on this shore, Pray and watch me Angel wife, That I my children may guide aright. And now when time and earth have passed away, And we have awakened to another day, God grant that our little band of ten, Will be reunited in the end. CREED T. MOORE.- Brenda Huntley Added: 3/24/2007

- MUNNS - JOHN - - - - UNK - 12 24 1901 - FCTIMES - - 12-27-1901 KILLING OF JOHN MUNNS=News of the shooting affray, in which Jack Pipkin and John Munns were involved, reached this city Tuesday evening, Dec.24,1901, and caused quite a furor of excitement for the time, inasmuch as the bearer of the tidings Feke Pipkin, had also received a slight flesh wound in the scrimmage. The purpose of Feke's hurried visit to the city was to swear out a warrant for the arrest of Munns, which he did immediately with Justice Gorman's court. Deputy Sheriffs Murphree and M.N.Gaines left post haste for Tuttleton, the scene of the trouble, heavily armed, because Munns had a reputation of being a desperate man, to serve the warrant. The officers took him prisoner, and had stopped at the residence of Mr.J.J.Barron, in the southern portion of the city, to see the latter gentleman in the matter of a bond, and he so agreed to the $500 dollar bond, whereupon Munns was released. Given his freedom, he proceeded to obtain a double barreled shotgun and went to Pipkin's place and placed it to his head.

They were related, and when the Coroner, Mr.Alley investigated, found that the death occurred from a gunshot wound, over a family matter, and found the death justifiable homicide.
