"Murder at Jamestown" -- Jamestown, TN, Sept 10 -- "This little village was shocked Monday afternoon about 4 o'clock by the commission of a horrible murder. Lemuel Delk, David Delk Junior and John A. Taylor murdered Martin V. Owens by stabbing him several times in the back and twice in the neck with pocket knives. The murderers were all prominent well-to-do citizens, and trouble is feared because the Sheriff refuses bail pending a hearing before the judge. There has been talk of a rescuing party. The cause of the tragedy has not been learned. All the parties were drinking at the time. Owens leaves a large family in indigent circumstances. Chattanooga Daily Times, Friday, 11 September 1885. Fentress County.
David R. Davidson -- Martin Owens is my great grandfather; he is buried in the Livingston Cemetery in Jamestown.
