Joel Whisman Accused: At the picnic grounds one mile of Shell Knob, Saturday night about 8:30, Lloyd Holman of Rock Creek was shot and killed. Joel Whisman, who resides near Shell Knob, is charged of the crime. Reports are to the effect that Holman had been very disorderly during the two days picnic. On Friday he and Arthur Henbest had some words and an altercation followed. This seemed to widen the stream of enmity and he became very quarrelsome, keeping the local officers on their post of duty at all hours. It is claimed he tried to start a number of disturbances with different parties up to the time of his death. Joel Whisman, who is charge with taking his life, was a peace officer. From reliable reports it seems late Saturday evening Holman called Whisman out from a crowd and challenged him for a fight. Whisman undertook to talk Holman out of the notion and insisted that he be more orderly. Holman was not pacified and within a few moments he charged with a knife towards Wiley Whisman, a brother of Joel who was standing near. Wiley received the blow, the knife cutting his clothing on the right breast but making no wound. Holman then started for Officer Whisman at which incident a shot was fired, taking its effect near the heart. Holman died instantly. Squire Willis had an inquest and the jury reported Holman to have met death by a shot from a revolver by an unknown party. Sheriff Brixey was notified and Whisman was placed under arrest. We understand he is non-committal about the affair. He gave bond for his preliminary hearing which will be held Thursday, July 9, before Justice Willis. Whisman came to Cassville Monday evening and employed attorneys J. S. Davis and James Talbert to defend him. Holman was a young man about 25 years of age, unmarried. He was a son of the late Ap Holman and was born and reared on Rock Creek. He was a brother of Jim and Will Holman who reside in that vicinity. He is also survived by another brother, four sisters, and a number of immediate relatives. Interment of his body was made at the Mano Cemetery, Tuesday. Whisman is a man of a prominent family and is a farmer. He is about 46 years of age. He has lived in the vicinity of Shell Knob for a number of years and is known to be a quite and highly respected citizen. The families are well known and the affair is indeed a sad one. - July 16, 1914, Thursday, Cassville Republican - Joel and Wiley Whisman charged with taking the life of Loyd Holman were bound over last week to circuit court at a preliminary hearing of the case at Shell Knob in Squire Wills' court, assisted by Squire James of Viola.

The trial is set for Monday of the July term of circuit court. In the preliminary hearing about forty witnesses were examined. Prosecuting Attorney Burgess was assisted by Attorney I. V. McPherson of Aurora. J. S. Davis and James Talbert were the attorneys for the defendants. - October 8, 1914, Thursday, Cassville Republican - Shell Knob News: The following citizens are running their sorghum mills, D. D. Whisman, Charles Wilson, Henry Brown, A. F. Cooper, Joel Whisman, J. S. Cooper and W. H.

Immediately following the verdict given by the jury to the court Prosecuting Attorney Burgess dismissed the case against Joel Whisman charged with the same crime of murder in the second degree. - August 19, 1915, Thursday, Cassville Republican - Personal and Local News: Hiram Whisman of Dawson, Okla., attended the Reunion and is visiting his son, Joel Whisman, of near Shell Knob. - Cassville Republican, Dec. 25, 1919 - Joel Whisman of Shell Knob was here Thursday.

Penny also had her name as Netta, but it is probably Natta as recorded by Mildred Roden. Since Penny's transcription is the same mistake as recorded in Vol. 1, Barry Co.
