Contemporary accounts stated that Wilson lived in Carlisle, Kentucky, located in Nicholas County.&nbsp; One newspaper, the <em>Maysville Evening Bulletin<\/em>, said that Wilson was a prominent member of the African American community in Carlisle, and he was a member of the Oddfellows Fraternal Order. Another newspaper, the <em>Kentucky Advocate<\/em>, reported that Wilson was married with four children. The <em>Louisville Courier Journal<\/em> reported that Wilson was a well-digger. The articles were only a few lines long, and they did not offer further information about Wilson, such as Wilson\u2019s permanent residence, his education, or the names of his wife and children.&nbsp; George Wright, in his book <em>Racial Violence in Kentucky<\/em>, listed George Wilson\u2019s death as a possible lynching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">According to several newspaper accounts, Wilson\u2019s body was found on August 14, 1897. Wilson was hanged from a tree and left for dead. An article reported that the police assumed Wilson was murdered by a white mob. His body was found in the woods of Nicholas County, Kentucky. It was also stated that when he was last seen, Wilson had about $60 on his person, but after his body was discovered, he was left with a dollar in his pocket.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;In an unusual development. the <em>Maysville Evening Bulletin<\/em> reported on August 30 that two people were arrested and charged in the murder of George Wilson.&nbsp; Lulu Willis and Russell Snapp confessed in jail that they hung Wilson to make his killing look like a lynching. The article stated that Lulu Willis said that she and Wilson were lovers.&nbsp; There were no articles following up on the arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h3>Location of the Lynching<\/h3><iframe srcdoc=\"    &lt;html&gt;\n    &lt;head&gt;\n        &lt;meta charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;\n        &lt;meta name=&quot;viewport&quot; content=&quot;initial-scale=1,maximum-scale=1,user-scalable=no&quot;&gt;\n        &lt;title&gt;Map&lt;\/title&gt;\n        &lt;style&gt;\n            html,\n            body,\n            #viewDiv {\n                padding: 0;\n                margin: 0;\n                height: 100%;\n                width: 100%;\n            }\n            #map-container {\n                width: 100%;\n                height: 100%;\n                border: none;\n            }\n        &lt;\/style&gt;\n        &lt;!-- Important: Here is most likely a bug in another system.\n        Maybe it is a kind of security system.\n        The script tag below is getting replaced by a script tag with src=&quot;about:blank&quot;\n        and data-opt-src=&quot;https:\/\/js.arcgis.com\/4.28\/&quot;.
