Murder of Nathaniel Dodge by the Taylor Brothers
While returning from church, Nathaniel Dodge, twenty four, met death at the hands of Henry, George, and Sylvester Taylor. George Taylor accused Dodge of circulating a report upon him to the effect that Taylor had stolen a horse and buggy at Maysville, KY. Dodge denied the charges whereupon George Taylor struck him with a stone, staggering him, when the other brothers closed in and held him while the originator stabbed him to death. From the hour of Dodge's death until daylight, a brother and sister, with but few other attendants, kept a vigil over the remains of the dead man. Nathaniel Dodge was the son of Joseph and Amy Dodge
