The Toccoa Times, April 8 1896
The wounds killed him.
Clayton GA, April 2nd. Samuel A. Beck an ex-sheriff of Rabun County
and a member of the board of education who was seriously stabbed 3
weeks ago in a difficulty with John, Sam, Silas, and Luke Fowler
died this morning at 1 o'clock from the wounds then inflicted. Mr.
Beck was a kindhearted clever gentleman and had scores of friends
in every part of the County. The funeral services will take place
tomorrow at Antioch Church. Judge Kimsey speaks of holding a
special term of Rabun Co Superior Court for the purpose of trying
the four men who have been committed to jail charged with the
killing.
Seems all this was over a keg of whiskey that Sam had suspected the
Fowler boys stole. Sam and some friends confronted these boys with
this, and this was the end result.
