Henry Campbell Rice was killed when James H. Philpott shot him in the chest. Mr. Philpott's daughter Esterleen, married Henry`s brother George, without her father's permission. Henry acted as surety for the marriage license. James Philpott was very angry with Henry. Henry Rice was later called to testify at a local trial, Mr. Philpott declared him a dishonest man who would not be a truthful witness. Mr. Philpott and Henry Rice later, had words in a store, which was owned by Henry's brother-in-law Wm. Goggin Reynolds. They took their argument outside. Mr. Reynolds watched from the store window and would testify that Henry had slapped Mr. Philpott on the check at which point Mr. Philpott pulled a hand gun and shot Henry through the chest. James H. Philpott was tried twice, but neither jury convicted him.
