John Henry Sasser

Notes:

Note: In the winter of 1825, John Henry, his wife, Nancy and their ten existing children, moved west from Johnston County, NC to Laurel County, KY. The trip, through the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee, was very arduous. The family probably spent one "growing season" in Tennessee.

LAUREL YOUTH SHOT CRITICALLY IN CLAY COUNTY
Edsel Hale, 29 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Hale of Blackwater, remains in a critical
condition at the Marymount Hospital with a gun shot wound in the abdomen and arm.
Robert G. Carnahan, 49 years old, Manchester business man, is charged with wounding Hale
at 3:45 o'clock Friday morning at a road house, 2 miles east of Manchester.
According to witnesses, Hale was shot as he stepped into the door of the establishment.
Carnahan surrendered voluntarily to Clay county jailer, J. Matt Sizemore about an hour after
the shooting.
The Clay countyman waived examining trial in Clay County Court Monday and was held to
the May grand jury of the Clay County Circuit Court.
Clay County Judge Charles H. White released Carnahan under a $5,000 bond and a
$5,000 appearance bond.
Hale's wife, Mrs. Lena Sasser Hale said at the hospital Tuesday afternoon that Hale,
an employee of General Electric in Louisville, was enroute from Louisville to Big Richlands
in Knox County where she and their 2 year old daughter, Sharon, were residing with her parents.
She added that her husband had rented an apartment in Louisville and that he was going to take
her and the daughter back to that city.
Carnahan's son, James Carnahan, 24, was killed two weeks ago when struck by an automobile.
His family said that he had been beside himself since that time.
