Celebrating Richard's 70th birthday. May friends and family attendedThomas Fisher witness to murder 1912
"A little after eight o'clock on last Saturday night residents of south main street were startled by a loud pistol shot and the sound of a buggy being driven toward the south at a furious gait. An hour later the lifeless body of Asa Langford was found lying in the road almost in front of the Thos Fisher home with a bullet from a 32 calibre revolver embedded in the brain" Marion Bond, Blandinsville Marshall, was called to the scene to investigate and identified the body. Charles Barrier who had spent the day drinking with Langford was charged with the murder. A pistol of the type used to shoot Langford was found in his home. At trial, several witnesses were called who had seen or heard Barrier in the company of Langford that day, or who saw Barrier speeding away from Blandinsville in his buggy about the time of the murder. "Thomas Fisher who lives close to the scene of the murder, testified that he and his wife heard the shot distinctly at between fifteen and twenty minutes after eight o'clock and at the same moment the quick rattle of a buggy as of someone leaving the place at a furious pace." At the conclusion of the trial, the jury of local residents found Barrier guilty of the murder of Asa Langford.Report on clean-up of South Cemetery 1938
"Blandinsville's South Cemetery which last week at this time was a wilderness of weeds and brambles, is this week clean and trim. The transformation was brought about last Suturday when 40 men answered the call of Trustees Evan Williams, B. B. Martin and Blake Jones, Equipped with scythes, grubbing hoes, pitch forks and sickles, all 40 of them lit in on the mass of tangled overgrowth and laid it low. It was a big job. The cemetery was grown high not only with weeds but with tall grass that a scythe would scarcely cut. It required a lot of patient hacking, as well as a lot of hard labor. But it was all cut down, and trucks were kept busy all the afternoon in hauling away the the trash and hay. The amount of it was almost unbelievable."
