OLD MAN GROOMER

Old Man Groomer was much worked up over the killing of Parsons. Said something had to be done about it. (Parsons possibly was also from Virginia. He went over there and investigated.  He wanted Uncle Tom Pierson to do something about it but he couldn’t or wouldn’t. He said that something was going to have to be done about the situation.

(Ault Ferguson was supposed to have been one of the killers, the man my father brought back from Arkansas. Mr. Groomer may have backed him up in this and other law enforcement efforts- may have been a cause for his saying that anyone who had any Groomer blood was a friend of his.)

Groomer married a White. I understood him to say. Also, Blansit married a White the first time.
