Talk:Lynching of Samuel Smith

Question - where was lynching?
An early article said that Smith was lynched near Eastwood's house, which I took to mean in Nolensville, where Smith was from. But the recent article on the memorial plaque at St. Anselm's Church said Smith was lynched at Frank Hill, and implies that it is in Nashville. This should be clarified.Parkwells (talk) 18:26, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The St Anselm Episcopal Church webpage has some errors. All the articles published at the time say he was brought back to Nolensville (where he was first captured) and lynched there.Zigzig20s (talk) 18:32, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I can't read them because of the pay wall. According to Deane's article: "Memorial Marker for Lynching Victims", http://stanselmsnashville.org/memorial-lynching-victims/, the Banner reported in 1924 that the grocer Eastwood lived off Nolensville Pike on Frank Hill Rd., about 12 miles outside of Nashville near the Davidson/Williamson county line. I wonder if the boundary changed in the intervening years. According to Google, the town of Nolensville is 22 miles from Nashville. The news accounts for the memorial service said Smith was lynched at Frank Hill Rd. in Nashville/Davidson Co. Parkwells (talk) 21:07, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Deane's research is not peer-reviewed and there is an obvious problem with it: the Nashville Banner was owned by Edward Bushrod Stahlman, whose brother-in-law was a Klansman. I don't think it should ever be cited as a reliable source about these topics. Google Maps currently shows no match for Frank Hill Road in Nolensville or Nashville, but it may have been renamed later, possibly because of the lynching.Zigzig20s (talk) 22:49, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
