Massacre at Kingsville
"...and no one was dreaming of trouble, at the early dawn on May 7, 1865, about two hundred bushwackers under the daring leaders, Arch Clements,Dave Pool, & Bill Anderson, swept down upon the quiet little village & commenced fire on the citizens that were just emerging from their night's repose. The citizens rallied for their lives with Capt.Leroy C. Duncan as their leader, but were so outnumbered that they could not withstand the assault of the raiders, who soon had possession of the town, which they left in ashes after robbing families of their money & clothing. The following is a partial list of dead & wounded from the massacre at Kingsville: James Paul,Walter Burris,Will Duncan,L.C. Duncan,Sam Duncan,ABNER RYAN,William Johnson,David Givens,& some laborers working on railroad, names not recorded."
