From Barbara Giddens to Terry McLean
Fri, 25 Sep 1998
"I finally got around to searching for something that I have been wanting. The
story behind John T. Pickens was not that he shot his brother-in-law Needham
Short but William Fox, his sister Georgia Pickens' husband. It happen in
Hennepin only 10 miles west of Davis, where I live. Hennepin is on the border of
two counties, Murray and Garvin. And Carter county is not but a few miles from
Hennepin. In the Wynnewood ,Garvin county history book, John T. Pickens had a
jewery store in the late 1800's. This is how it is put in the newspaper word by
word and it is worded strangely.
