Willie Britt was born May 1896, based on 1900 census data. His age was 23 at time of death in 1921, so the age varies a little. He was the son of John Q Britt & A.M. Donaldson Britt (his mother is listed in the census data & marriage record as "A.M.") His known siblings were Pavada, J.L., Rosa, Della, Elisha, Elijah, John, & Add A.
According to information found in The Batesville Daily Guard [Batesville, AR] on March 29, 1921, Willie was with his brother & 2 friends on the Britts' property to search for some wild hogs the Britt brothers had purchased. A neighbor & his brothers confronted them over the hogs & the neighbor shot Willie. Britt was placed in the wagon and they started for the home of his mother, but he died before reaching her house. The article said the Britts lived about four miles from Batesville on the Cushman road. In the 1900 & 1910 census, the family was living in Washington township of Ind. Co. In the 1920 census they are living in Cushman township & Willie's father was deceased. The funeral was held on March 30th in the Pleasant Valley graveyard near Cushman.
I have not found the outcome of the murder but will attempt to research the outcome.
I have linked Willie to the memorial of John Q. Britt, although John's birth date varies a bit from census date.
