This is a representation of a double hanging held on the site in 1883. Dennis Haggerty and Henry Dowling robbed James Lynn of $32.00 and a silver watch and left him for dead. Haggerty and Dowling were captured a short time later in Maysville and identified by Lynn before he did die. A mob of masked men broke into the jail, took the prisoners to a pine tree behind the church, and hanged them.Rights management statement available at: http://library.mines.edu/digital/rights.htmlGimlett, Frank E., 1865-1952Animals, packPeopleStillImage
