James H.Pemberton and his son Lewis were killed in a shoot out with a fellow by the name of Hughett and a J.D. Blakenship, at Helenwood. try for more info. on this.
Sunbright Dispatch Jan 1897.

Helenwood, Tenn., Dec. 30, 1897--(Special.)--Last Sunday after- noon at half past one o'clock two men were killed and one wounded at this place as a result of one man being half full of whiskey. That man was Louis Pemberton, who took a Win- chester rifle out of his saloon and started down main street shooting it off, till it aroused Marshall Frank Hughett, who came upon the scene heavily armed. He asked Pemberton to lay down his gun, and Pemberton, holding on to the breech, dropped the muzzle to the ground, but as he did not drop his gun from his hands, Hughett fired upon him with a needle gun hitting him in the side, the ball going through his body.

While all this was going on Jim Pemberton (Louis' father) was walking rapidly down the street and by the time Hughett had fired the elder Pemberton was upon him and fired two shots, one striking him in the shoulder, sidewise. Then they clinched and fell struggling. When the smoke cleared away, Hughett was up and Pemberton was on the ground with two bullet holes in his side, one supposed to have been made by Hughett's wife and the other by Hughett, from which he died thirty minutes afterwards.

After Louis Pemberton fell he rose upon his knees and fired back at Hughett and his deputy, John David, with his Winchester, but without effect. He then fell back in a dying condition when Deputy David shot three shots at him while he was down hitting him each time in the side.

He lived about fifteen minutes after being shot by David.
