Notes for JOHN A. "JAMES" BOATWRIGHT:

John A. Boatwright

The only thing I know about John's death is that he was at the 4th of July picnic in Mill Spring, Missouri and he was getting ready to play his fiddle with a few other fellow musicians when a man by the name of McAffee walked up to him and said something harsh to which John replied, "You can say what you want about me, but I will not let you speak about my family that way." When John got up, McAffee shot him in the stomach then ran off down the railroad tracks and jumped in the river and no one ever saw him again. That is the story my grandmother told my mother.

John A. Boatwright is also my husband's great-grandfather. McAfee was later killed in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. My husband's grandfather, Lawrence "L.J." Boatwright, told him the story of Jim's death, as well as McAfee's.

"Another Tragedy"
Greenville Journal, Wayne County, Missouri
July 11, 1907
Page 1, column 5

While celebrating the 4th of July at Mill Spring that city was the scene of another tragedy, resulting presumably from an old grudge between Charley McAfee and James Boatright.

The two men stepped a few feet away from the dancing platform and passed a word or two, which was unnoticed by the by-standers, when McAfee drew his revolver and fired at Boatright killing him instantly.

McAfee backing off from the crowd with his revolver in his hand, and warning everyone to keep their distance from him, made his escape. He is yet at large.


"Shooting Scrape"
Greenville Sun, Wayne County, Missouri

Page 1, column 6

Chas. McAfee shot and Killed James Boatwright at Mill Spring Picnic

The quietude of the celebration at Mill Spring on our nation's birthday, was broken by a fracas between Charley McAfee and James Boatwright which resulted in the death of the latter.

According to reports the trouble began at the dancing floor Boatwright had McAfee by the collar when a shot from McAfee's revolver ended the life of his antagonist. McAfee stood for a minute, walked backward while facing the crowd till he got behind some buggies then turned and ran away, Sheriff Barrow was summoned to the scene but no arrest has been made.

It was reported to us that Popular Bluff whiskey was the cause of the blood shed but we have learned since that a woman of disreputable character was also connected with the affair.
