(Sister) MurderStories regarding the murder appeared in several newspapers throughout the state of Indiana and one researcher reported finding more than 30 articles about it, counting the original publication of a story and the copies by other newspapers. Although not the first newspaper to publish the information, the front page of The Jasper Weekly Courier on Friday, 1 April 1892 shouted news of the killing with cascading headlines over the description of the event. Our transcriptions of that early article, and four later mentions of additional parts to the story, follow:

A FAMILY FEUD
James Garland Murdered in Crawford County
by His Brother-in-Law, William S. Ferguson


James Thomas Garland, of Crawford County, and William S. Ferguson, of Orange County, brothers-in-law, met on the forenoon of the 25th at the residence of their father-in-law, John R. Pace, three miles south of Birdseye in Crawford County. The meeting appears to have been accidental, and occurred at the gate in front of Pace’s residence. As soon as they met Ferguson demanded of Garland the immediate payment of an old debt claimed to be owing him by Garland. The reply by Garland to this demand was that he was willing to pay anything he honestly owed, but not until a settlement of disputed items had been made.

The declaration of Garland greatly exasperated Ferguson and he immediately made an attack on Garland, striking him in the neck with his fist and knocking him senseless to the ground. Ferguson continued the attack by jumping upon Garland with his knees, frequently repeating this and finally choking Garland, the latter dying while Ferguson had him by the throat.

Finding that Garland was dead, Ferguson lifted the body and carried it into the residence of his father-in-law. He then went out to where his horse was hitched, mounted him and galloped away. The murder, from all the information so far obtainable, seems to have been utterly unprovoked and cold blooded. Both have families. (New Albany Ledger)

Searching for a Murderer


English, Indiana, 30 March. The Garland brothers, who are the brothers of the man killed on 24th (sic) instant near Birdseye by William S. Ferguson of Dubois County, are at the head of a posse of men armed with Winchesters, and scouring that county in search of Ferguson. If caught, Ferguson will be lynched. Rumor has it that Garland and Ferguson had made threats and counter threats to whip each other, but this is hardly supposable on the part of Garland who was just recovering from an attack of measles.

A MURDERER CAPTURED

William S. Ferguson Taken to Dubois for Trial


Princeton, Indiana. Special: William S. Ferguson was captured in this city today. About two months ago he and his brother-in-law, James Thomas Garland, engaged in a quarrel at Birdseye, sixty-five miles east of this city, over an account. It is claimed that Ferguson owed Garland. A scuffle took place and Ferguson grabbed Garland by the whiskers with one hand and with the other pounded him to death. He afterward carried the victim to his yard, washed him and laid him out. He made his escape. It is claimed he has been in hiding in southern Indiana all the time. He is a tough-looking character and is said to be a terror to the locality in which he lived. The good people will no doubt feel relieved over his capture. Judge Lynch may take him in charge when he reaches his destination. He pleaded with the officers not to take him to his home – Dubois County – but he was nevertheless taken to that county this evening. A big reward was offered for his arrest.

A Jasper special says: William S. Ferguson, who a few weeks ago murdered James Thomas Garland, his brother-in-law, who asked him to pay a bill he owed him, was captured this morning near Princeton, Indiana by Sheriff Key and his deputy, James F. McAfee. He was placed in jail here this evening to await trial at the next term of the circuit court, which convenes next Monday.

Mother*Adaline Wilson2,3 b. 1865
Birth*7 November 1886Mary Jones was born on 7 November 1886 in Orange County, Indiana.1,2 
(Daughter) Research NotesHer parents' marriage ended, we suspect with her mother's death, although we have found no supporting record of that event, or of any later event for Adaline. In addition to leaving her husband behind, Adaline's death left her baby daughter, Mary, whose father married again in 1892.4,2 
(Daughter) Marriage17 April 1892Her father married again when Mary was 5 years old, on 17 April 1892 to Laura Wilson, who was a sister of Mary's mother, was 18 years old and had not been married before.4 
(Stepdaughter) Death18 December 1893The following year, when Mary was 7 years old, her aunt/stepmother, Laura A. (Wilson) Jones, died on 18 December 1893 at age 19.5 
(Daughter) Marriage17 September 1894Less than a year after her stepmother's death, her father married again, on 17 September 1894, to Paulina (Shafer) Gross. It was Paulina's second marriage and her father's fourth.6 
(Daughter) Research NotesThe union of her father and Paulina ended a short time after their marriage, whether by divorce or by her father's death, we don't know. We have found no additional records for him after his 1894 marriage, and we know Paulina married again in 1899.7 
(Granddaughter) Census US 190023 June 1900Mary was enumerated on the 1900 census taken on 23 June 1900 in the household of her widowed maternal grandfather, George Wilson, in Paoli, Orange County, Indiana. Mary was 11 years old, at home, able to read, write and to speak English, and had attended school for six months of the census year.8 
(Mother) Research NotesWe don't know how or when Mary's illegitimate daughter, Blanche Jones, came to believe that Sherman Lewis Hawhee was her biological father. We have found no records to indicate that Blanche and Sherman spent any time together, although they did live for much of the time in the same town of French Lick, Orange County, Indiana. We suspect her belief was correct because, after his death, Sherman Hawhee was identified by name as her father, and his three daughters, who survived Blanche, were also identified by name as her half-sisters, in Blanche's 1984 obituary.9,10 
(Niece) Census US 191018 April 1910She was enumerated with her two children on the 1910 census taken on 18 April 1910 in the household of her aunt and uncle, Carrie and Ercurius A. Stanfield, in French Lick, Orange County, Indiana. Mary's father, Samuel J. Jones, and Carrie Stanfield were siblings. Mary was 23 years of age, unmarried, able to read, write and to speak English, and worked for wages as a chambermaid in a hotel. Her daughter, Nellie B. Jones, was 3 years old and her son, Paul Jones, was nine months.1 
Marriage*11 August 1911She married, as his second wife, Clark Mills, son of John Mills and Mary Hammonds, on 11 August 1911 in Orange County, Indiana. Clark was a widower with three children, William, Lida and Etta, ages 20, 16 and 12 years, respectively, and Mary had two children, Blanche, who was 4 years old, and Paul, who was age one.11,2 
Census US 1920*26 January 1920Mary A. and Clark Mills were enumerated on the 1920 census taken on 26 January 1920 near Ethel and Newton Roads, Greenfield, Orange County, Indiana. Clark was 54 years of age and a general farmer, and Mary was 30 years of age and reported no occupation. They rented their farm and were both able to read, write and to speak English. Two children were enumerated with them in 1920. Mary's son, Paul Jones, from an earlier relationship, was recorded with the surname Mills. He was 10 years old, able to read, write and to speak English, and had attended school within the census year. And the couple's son, Clarence, was 4 years old.12 
Death*between 1920 and 1930She died between 1920 and 1930, probably in Indiana, between the ages of 33 and 43 years. She had been enumerated with her husband and her two sons, Paul Jones and Clarence Mills, on the 1920 census, and on the 1930 census, her husband was a widower and was enumerated only with the couple's 15-year-old son, Clarence.12,13 
(Mother) Obituary22 December 1984Mary Jones and Sherman Hawhee, both of whom were deceased, were identified by name as the parents of their illegitimate daughter, Blanche N. (Jones) Charles Payton Maxson, whose name was published as Blanche N. (Hawhee) Maxson, in her newspaper obituary dated 22 December 1984 in Bedford, Lawrence County, Indiana.9

(Middle Sister) MurderStories regarding the murder appeared in several newspapers throughout the state of Indiana and one researcher reported finding more than 30 articles about it, counting the original publication of a story and the copies by other newspapers. Although not the first newspaper to publish the information, the front page of The Jasper Weekly Courier on Friday, 1 April 1892 shouted news of the killing with cascading headlines over the description of the event. Our transcriptions of that early article, and four later mentions of additional parts to the story, follow:


The Jasper Weekly Courier, Jasper, Indiana, Friday, 1 April 1892, page 1

A FAMILY FEUD
James Garland Murdered in Crawford County
by His Brother-in-Law, William S. Ferguson


James Thomas Garland, of Crawford County, and William S. Ferguson, of Orange County, brothers-in-law, met on the forenoon of the 25th at the residence of their father-in-law, John R. Pace, three miles south of Birdseye in Crawford County. The meeting appears to have been accidental, and occurred at the gate in front of Pace’s residence. As soon as they met Ferguson demanded of Garland the immediate payment of an old debt claimed to be owing him by Garland. The reply by Garland to this demand was that he was willing to pay anything he honestly owed, but not until a settlement of disputed items had been made.

The declaration of Garland greatly exasperated Ferguson and he immediately made an attack on Garland, striking him in the neck with his fist and knocking him senseless to the ground. Ferguson continued the attack by jumping upon Garland with his knees, frequently repeating this and finally choking Garland, the latter dying while Ferguson had him by the throat.

Finding that Garland was dead, Ferguson lifted the body and carried it into the residence of his father-in-law. He then went out to where his horse was hitched, mounted him and galloped away. The murder, from all the information so far obtainable, seems to have been utterly unprovoked and cold blooded. Both have families. (New Albany Ledger)

Searching for a Murderer


English, Indiana, 30 March. The Garland brothers, who are the brothers of the man killed on 24th (sic) instant near Birdseye by William S. Ferguson of Dubois County, are at the head of a posse of men armed with Winchesters, and scouring that county in search of Ferguson. If caught, Ferguson will be lynched. Rumor has it that Garland and Ferguson had made threats and counter threats to whip each other, but this is hardly supposable on the part of Garland who was just recovering from an attack of measles.

A MURDERER CAPTURED

William S. Ferguson Taken to Dubois for Trial


Princeton, Indiana. Special: William S. Ferguson was captured in this city today. About two months ago he and his brother-in-law, James Thomas Garland, engaged in a quarrel at Birdseye, sixty-five miles east of this city, over an account. It is claimed that Ferguson owed Garland. A scuffle took place and Ferguson grabbed Garland by the whiskers with one hand and with the other pounded him to death. He afterward carried the victim to his yard, washed him and laid him out. He made his escape. It is claimed he has been in hiding in southern Indiana all the time. He is a tough-looking character and is said to be a terror to the locality in which he lived. The good people will no doubt feel relieved over his capture. Judge Lynch may take him in charge when he reaches his destination. He pleaded with the officers not to take him to his home – Dubois County – but he was nevertheless taken to that county this evening. A big reward was offered for his arrest.

A Jasper special says: William S. Ferguson, who a few weeks ago murdered James Thomas Garland, his brother-in-law, who asked him to pay a bill he owed him, was captured this morning near Princeton, Indiana by Sheriff Key and his deputy, James F. McAfee. He was placed in jail here this evening to await trial at the next term of the circuit court, which convenes next Monday.
