"The Roanoke Leader - Wednesday, July 23, 1919:
BURIAL OF L.H. HARALSON AT Mount HICKORY ON THE 7th.
Last week, the Leader mentioned that Mr. and Mrs. W.O. Longshore had been called to Birmingham by the death of Prof. Lucius H. Haralson, husband of Mrs. Longshore's sister. It later was learned that this excellent citizen was shot and instantly killed by one of a party of negroes in Jefferson county, while acting as constable and investigating an alleged crime. The remains were brought to Roanoke at noon Thursday, accompanied by members of the family and Mr. Steeley, pastor of the Baptist church of which the deceased was a member, and by Mr. Smith a local merchant. The body rested a short while at the home of Mr. Longshore and then was carried to Mount Hickory in Chambers County, near the old home of the deceased, for interment. A number of Roanoke people met the funeral party at the train and accompanied it to its destination, rendering all the aid and comfort in their power to the widow, the three fatherless children, the sister and other bereaved ones. One of the negroes under suspicion of the crime had been arrested at latest news.
