Do you have info on what happened to Cumberland Sias? He was the uncle of Harrison Neace whom he shot to death over a game of cards. Harrison was my great grandmother’s brother.
I have several versions of stories pertaining to those people, mostly from my grandfather Nim Adkins and his brother Ward Adkins. I have also seen the newspaper stories.
