George was shot by Andrew Jackson McKinney, his wife's brother. "Jack" had a disagreement with his brother-in-law George Harper, over who would tend a field of
corn. Jack came riding down the road on his horse and saw George standing on a rock beside the road. What words were spoken is not known. Jack took out his pistol and shot him while sitting on his horse. George was taken to a house up on the side of the hill and died several hours later. Before George died, he told the family not to prosecute Jack for shooting him, the reason being, he tried to bluff Jack and "Jack didn't bluff."
