Wilson, Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer, August 17, 1897

Carlisle, Ky., Aug. 16. - A sensation was caused near Deering camp ground Saturday by the finding of one George Wilson, colored, hanging from a small tree, suspended by a silk handkerchief and the hitch rein from his buggy. The negro bore a good reputation, and had on his person when last seen about $60, and when cut down had only $1.40 on his person.
