8171 Stewart Renfro, who shot and killed his brother-in-law, Orb Salyer, at Elizabethton, surrendered yesterday morning at 5 o'clock to Sheriff Collins, of Carter County. He had not left his premises, it was learned after he gave himself up, but immediately after the shooting went to the barn in the rear of his home, remaining there until after daylight.

Soon after the coroner's jury had returned a verdict that Salyer had been shot through the head and killed by a discharge from a shotgun in the hands of Renfro, the latter was given a prelimary hearing before Magistrate D.S. Jenkins. He was bound over to the September term of court, but was released in $2,000 bail.

The tragedy occurred at Renfro's home. Orb Salyer, 22 years old, and a brother were visiting their sister, Renfro's wife. According to the reports of the killing, Renfro, who is 40 years old, came home intoxicated. The Salyer boys tried, it is said, to take him to his room. Renfro resisted their efforts, and it is further stated, became infuriated at them, seizing a shotgun and firing it at Orb, who fell to the floor dead. He then, it is said, pointed the gun at the other brother, but the gun failed to discharge.

When the Salyer brothers left home Monday morning to visit their sister in Elizabethton, they were accompanied by their father, who was preparing to make a business trip to West Virginia. The father of the boys, it is said, had a premonition in a dream of the fate that awaited one of his sons.

"Be careful, boys", he is reported to have said to his sons, after relating a dream which he had the night before and in which, it is said, he saw his sons fighting, one evidently trying to kill the other. The elder Salyer was in West Virginia when he received news of the tragedy.

•Funeral services for Orb Salyer, the young man who was shot through the head and killed at Elizabethton Monday night by his brother-in-law, Stewart Renfro, were held this morning from the home of his brother, W.C. Salyer. The body was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery. 		Renfro, David Stuart (I39409)

Growing up in the hills of the Bulldog Community in Trade, TN, left a lasting impact on Sue and her six siblings. They all were imprinted with a high regard for their elders, a deep responsibility to their children, a love of the land, and reaching out to those less fortunate.

During World War II, Sue moved to Marion, Virginia to help with the war effort by working in a defense factory.

Although Sue’s vocation was hair dresser at which she worked for over thirty years, her avocation was caregiver, and that’s what she was really born to do. She not only cared for the infirmed, whose families employed her services, she also gave special care and attention to her beauty shop customers who were often among the elderly.

But the special care, the care that only a mother and grandmother can give, was reserved for her daughter and her grandsons whom she cherished and adored, and for whom she would do anything within her power.

Her life, her real life, was cut short by the Alzheimer’s that stole her mind some twenty-six years ago. As a result, she was a resident of Mountain City Care and Rehab for over twelve years where she received excellent care along with love and kindness from the nursing staff, Dr. John Whitlock, and Daniel Jones, PA. The family would also like to thank Ginger Peters for her care for many years at Mountain City Care Center.

Honorary pallbearers are Dr. John Whitlock and all of the staff at Mountain City Care Center. 		Madron, Sue (I81417)
