Salem (IN) Democrat of June 15, 1897, from a transcribed book of early obits
at the genealogy library at the John Hay Center, Salem, Indiana.
The Salem Democrat of June 15, 1887, carried an article concerning
activities on Decoration Day in Franklin Township. The grave of every
soldier buried in Franklin Township was "handsomely Decorated" the 31st of
May. The article contained a list of the names of soldiers of all wars
together with the name of the repository for the dead at which they are
buried. Listed among these names was Joshua Tatlock, Civil War, 27th Ind.;
buried Franklin Cemetery {Washington Township}.
-------------------
Joshua C. Tatlock; born 21 January 1842; died 31 August 1864; aged 22 years,
7 months and 10 days; Co. B, 13th Ind. Cav; son of Joseph Tatlock and Rachel
McKnight; husband of Ann Whitbee.
Salem (IN) Republican Leader, December 3, 1897, from a transcribed book of
early obits at the genealogy library at the John Hay Center, Salem, Indiana.
John Tatlock, aged about 34 years, died at the Jacobs boarding house on
South Main Street Wednesday evening of consumption. He was the son of the
late W. E. Tatlock of Canton and a brother of Mrs. John Carr of Canton. He
lived with Ben Botts last winter and spring but has been at Canton until
last week (when) he came back to Salem. Bela (sic) Anderson interested
several young men in this case and they raised money to pay his bills and
have him cared for. He was visited by a number of workers during the
revival and to Mr. Oliver professed conversion. The funeral takes place
today at ten o'clock at the house where he died.
No date or source noted, from a transcribed book of early obits at the
genealogy library, John Hay Center, Salem, Indiana. NOTE: The text below
is transcribed exactly as it appears in the book.
[1897] John Tatlock, a young man, lies near death's door as from
consumption's terrible inroads, at the home of Mr. Jacobs on South Main
Street. His means became exhausted last week and a good-hearted young man
took up a collection of about $23 for his benefit. Poor John will soon be
gone and those who contributed to his comfort in his last days may never be
known on this side of the grave, but when St. Peter sounds the call on the
judgment day, the $1 contributed in a modest way by men of modest
pretensions will count for more than the $10 contributed in public for the
influential Rev. Sunday - especially when the public bidder for favor
refused to contribute to the wants of the dying Lazarus at Ed. Jacob's
Later-Mr. Tatlock is dead.
John Tatlock; 37 years; single; died Salem, December 1, 1897.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
Scottsburg, June 3--A severe thunder storm prevailed here this morning. The
house of Joseph Knowlton, a small one-story brick in this place, was struck
by lightning about 7:30 o'clock severely injuring Mrs. M. A. Brydon, wife of
Robert F. Brydon of Jeffersonville, mother of Mrs. Knowlton, and her small
child, and a girl named Margaret Caldwell, residing in the family.
Mrs. Brydon was near this door and was, of course, knocked down. It is
supposed all will recover, though Margaret Caldwell seems to be injured
internally.

Joel B. Huntington, born November 27, 1867, near Boggstown, Indiana, married
in February 1887, in Indianapolis, Indiana, Lillie May, daughter of Charles
Hatfield and Elizabeth (Wilson) Myers. She was born January 1, 1862, in
Greenwood, Indiana. He is a lawyer and a farmer and lived in Indianapolis
from 1888 to 1892, in Whiteland from 1892 to 1897, in Greenwood, Indiana,
from 1897 to 1907, and is now residing in Scottsburg, Indiana. He was
trustee for the Town of Greenwood, Indiana, from 1900 to 1904 and deputy
prosecuting attorney from 1903 to 1907. They are Seventh Day Adventists.
Mr. Huntington has no middle name except the letter B. In his boyhood days,
his father's and uncle's families had four J. Huntingtons. He says: "When
mail was addressed to J. Huntington, the result was confusion, not to say
embarrassment, at times. To avoid this confusion, I adopted the 'B,' to
distinguish myself from the other J's, since which time I am addressed
oftener as J. B. than Joel. As the letter in the past has rendered me
faithful, honest, and honorable service, I shall continue to maintain it in
its, and my declining years, trusting that I may never fall into any
temptation that will bring it into disrepute or dishonor."

TWO ROBBERS HUNG BY A BAND OF MASKED LYNCHERS
Further Outrages Feared
New Albany, Indiana, October 26-Southern Indiana has been again disgraced by
the outrages of a mob. The particulars are as follows:
Last Wednesday night six men went to the residence of John Fisher near
Orleans, Orange County, and battered down the door with a rail. They
entered the house and demanded Fisher's money, threatening him and his wife
and children with instant death if any resistance was made. Under this
threat, Fisher delivered them the money--$150. After the robbers left,
Fisher gave the alarm and pursuit was immediately made.
On Saturday Pickard and Tongate were captured. On Tuesday they were taken
to Orleans for a preliminary examination, when they were both identified by
Fisher and, in default of bail, were remanded to jail. They left Orleans
about ten o'clock last night in charge of a posse of 25 men. When about
four miles from Orleans, and about crossing the last river bridge, about 100
disguised and well-armed and well organized men rode out of some woods and
took the prisoners from the escort and, with scarcely a moment's delay, the
ropes were placed around the necks of the two unfortunates, their feet
knocked from under them, and the two bodies were left swinging to the
railing of the bridge.
The scene is described as a fearful and heart sickening one. The guards
were ordered to stand aside, and the trembling robbers begged for mercy or
time to prepare for the stern realities awaiting them, but the vigilantes
knew no such word as mercy. The bodies hung as left until this morning when
the coroner ordered them cut down.
Pickard's remains were taken to his home in Greene County by his brother who
was a witness of this fearful tragedy. Poor Tongate's remains have not been
called for, and he will probably be buried by the county. Two more of the
robbers were arrested in Greene Count today and are to be taken to Orleans
for a preliminary examination, and it is feared that they will share the
fate of their comrades.
The excitement throughout Orange County and the southern part of the state
is intense. Some reports say these men are a remnant of the old Reno gang,
while other say they are a part of a well-organized and formidable gang
making their base in Greene County.
