"My aunts related to me how a relative named Grady Reynolds, possibly a nephew of Bartemious, and one of his friends got drunk one night and decided to rob a grocery store. The crime didn't go as planned, and the proprietor was murdered in the process! Grady and his partner fled, but were quickly captured. Both prisoners admitted their guilt and were sentenced to be immediately executed by hanging. Grady's final statement revealed that they hadn't intended to harm anyone; and although he was not the one who actually killed the man, he knew he deserved the same punishment as his partner. Grady and his friend were hanged that same night and buried side by side in the Reynolds-Barton Cemetery." Submitted by G. R. Reynolds. However newspaper accounts differ from what G. R. Reynolds wrote.
