🔫 Murder of Charles Derl Wood 🔎🪦

Some things in life are a mystery.

Some things are misplaced.

Some things are forgotten.

Some things are tucked away, ever so discretely, to be rediscovered again.

We had an opportunity to delve into a brief story & murder that occurred in either 1864 or 1865. 

This tragic incident was mentioned by Silas C. Turnbo & Judge W. B. Flippin. 

The story comes together for us when we visited the  the Old Hurst Teagarden Cemetery.
