He then bought a farm lying partly in White and partly in Pulaski County, where on the morning of April 15, 1869, as he was driving from his pasture some of a neighbor's trespassing cattle, he was shot dead by their owner, PHILIP REEDER, who was sentenced to the penitentiary for life for the crime.
