Murdered,

At Bailey's Mills, in Jefferson County on the night of the 4th instant, from a gunshot wound received in defending his premises from an attack of marauders, Mr. James Van Horn, an old and respected citizen, in the 47th years of age.

Bailey Mills is what is now known as Lloyd, Florida.

James Vanhorn is my 4th great grandfather. Like his wife Lucinda, his final resting place is not known for certain, but we now believe that based on a closer examination of probate evidence his body was transported for burial to the Old City Cemetery in Tallahassee. We still are not sure when his wife Lucinda died or where she is buried, but fairly confident we have identified James final resting place.
