Marion Myers killed Joseph Henry Sorrell in 1912, while Marion was Marshall of the town of Farmers, Kentucky. Apparently it must have been ruled a justifiable homicide of some sort, since in the 1920 census he was still living in Farmers. There was no newspaper in Morehead until the 1920’s; I should see if the Bath County Democrat and/or the Owingsville Outlook had a newspaper article on it.
