Obituary, The Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta, GA. Newspaper Publication Date: November 01, 1875 Cicero G. SURRETT - Shot & Killed |
December 7, 1875 ~ Cedartown, Polk Co., Georgia Our usually quiet town was startled on last Saturday night by the report about 9 o�clock that a man was shot out on the Priors station road, near the Cedar creek bridge. It appears that a young man from Haralson county, Bud TURBYVILLE, had hired Cicero SURRATT, who lives about six miles from town, to pilot him around Cedartown with a whisky wagon. TURBYVILLE, agreed to pay SURRATT, a certain sum, and in the settlement got into a dispute about the amount, TURBYVILLE, refusing to pay the amount agreed upon. Immediately after the shooting, TURBYVILLE, mounted one of his horses and left. SURRATThad been drinking pretty freely during the day, and was in a drunken condition when shot. He lived until 3 o�clock Sunday morning. He leaves a wife and eight children, in a destitute condition, we presume. The coroner�s jury found a verdict in accordance with the above facts.-- [See Record] Cicero Green SURRETT, a40y was shot and killed by a boot legger Nov. 01, 1875, at Cedartown, Polk Co. Georgia. (So. of Floyd Co.) The murderer was captured in Mississippi and was tried and convicted of murder in the first degree, but when his case was pending in the supreme court he escaped and was never captured.
