Tuesday, 16 April 1907ABNER DIES IN KENTUCKY FEUD
Scion of Prominent Family Killed in Quarrel With Neighbor
Beattyville, Ky., April 15 - Clay Thomas was arrested in Owsley county today and lodged in jail here for the murder of Jesse Abner in this county Thursday night. Thomas says Abner struck him with a rock and came near knocking him off his horse, and that he drew his revolver and shot him. The killing is the result of the Hargis-Cockrell feud, in which John Abner, a relative, is a central figure. Abner belonged to a prominent family, his uncle, William Abner, being one of the wealthiest men in this section.
The Breathitt County News
Friday, 22 December 1905John Abner, Jr., died December 12th, at his home near Primrose, Lee county, from the effects of wounds received from a pistol in the hands of Harrison Lucas, who was also shot by John Abner. A mystery surrounds this tragedy, as the two combatants were neighbors and seemingly good friends.
John Abner, while he professed no religion until the latter hours of his life, his conduct and charity extended for those in need. His life is a fitting example for his neighbors. He gave testimony in his last hours that he had made peace with his God, and wished and prayed that his slayer might recover from the wounds received at his hands.
He was 38 years of age, was a man of affairs, a thrifty farmer and a good business man. He was brave, honest and truthful, as a husband he was affectionate and true, as a father he was kind and indulgent, as a neighbor he was friendly and obliging.
He leaves a wife and five small children, father, four sisters and three brothers. His family was well provided for.

Monday, 9 November 1964Beattyville, Ky., Nov. 8 -- A Lee countian was shot to death today and his brother jailed in connection with the shooting.
Deputy Sheriff Gerald Hobbs said Charlie Allen, 47, was killed in the four-room home he shared with his brother, John, 54.
Coroner Herbert Twyman said two blasts from a 20-gauge shotgun struck the victim, one in the left side of his face below the cheek bone and the other in the left arm.
The officiers said a third blast struck the wall above where Charlie Allen was sitting on a bed. The deputy said the weapon was a bolt action gun with a magazine which holds three shells.
The shooting occurred about 10:30 a.m.
Afterward, the officiers reported, John Allen walked to Heidelberg, about a mile from the house. There, Hobbs said, Allen had Virgil Updyke telephone the deputy.
Hobbs said he got the State Troopers Jesse Bach and the officers went to the house where John Allen was waiting for them. He surrendered and was placed in the Lee County Jail.
Hobbs said no charge had been filed but added that Allen probably would be arraigned Monday morning before County Judge Sam Wilson.
The deputy said Allen claimed his brother had threatened to kill him. Hobbs said a .303 rifle was found on the floor of the house and identified as belonging to the victim. However, the officer said the weapon was unloaded and that no cartridges to fit it were found in the house.
The victim was a native of Lee County and a World War II veteran.
Other survivors are three brothers, Daniel, Oak and Raymond Allen, Heidelberg, and a sister, Mrs. Della Ross, Heidelberg.
The body is at the Newnam Funeral Home here.
