My grandma said that John had sold some tobacco to some men who asked to buy it.
Later that same day, they came back again and asked for more..
John told Lucy to go into the house and not to come out no matter what...
she waited all night and John never came back, so when it got light, Lucy took her baby (Oscar) and told the older children to stay inside and she went to check the barn.
She found John had been hung and was dead...
