[1] -Thursday, September 1 (or August 25 – pages are mixed up), 1864 N. C. ARGUS (Wadesboro’, Anson County, NC)

-Horrible Murder – We learn that Mrs. AUSTIN, wife of J. E. AUSTIN, living near Grassy Creek neighborhood, Union county, was murdered on Thursday last by one of Mr. AUSTIN’S negro men during his absence.  It appears that the negro had been stealing, and Mrs. AUSTIN had threatened to tell his master.  The next day she went to the field where the negro was at work, when he caught her and choked her to death.  The negro confessed the crime as soon as he was arrested.  Mrs. AUSTIN was between 40 and 50 years old.  Democrat, Aug. 30th.
