The dead body of Mr. McCormack was found in a pound 12 yards southeast of the site of the house a short time after. J. J. Lauderdale had bad place on the head where he had been hit. The seven McCormick children were thrown on the wood pile, a distance of thirty yards, and were injured. That was a lot of damage done and listed was that Fleming Dummit and Dave Thomas had found two cat fish that were blown out of McCormick's pond, 1/4 of a mile from the pond. And a number of small catfish were found ten or fifteen yards from the pond. Glass fruit jars were found 1/4 mile from McCormick's but not broken.
