11. | James L. Bowers ![]() Notes: Lawson G Smith and James L Bowers, both from Fish Springs, were brothers-in-law and best friends. They were both shot to death during an argument at a pie supper on March 15, 1913. The argument was over "outsiders" from Siam who some of the local girls had invited to the supper. That didn't set well with Lawson and Jim, and at some point in the evening, "Bowers and Smith finished their supper, left their seats and walked hurriedly" toward the boys from Siam, where the two "attacked the boys viciously." The outsiders pulled out their concealed pistols and shot Jim and Lawson. "Bowers was shot at such close range that the front of his double-breasted blue serge suit was set on fire. . . . A few seconds later, Lawson Smith fell heavily as the well-aimed bullets riddled his body" (pg. 17). Timbs writes that not too long before their tragic deaths, they had been warned by an elderly resident to "'settle down and stop all this trouble making.'" Jim Bowers' reply: "'I'll never settle down. I want to die with my boot on'" (17). James married Nellie O. Smith on 15 Feb 1908 in Carter County, , , Tennessee. Nellie (daughter of William G. Brownlow Smith and Mary Elizabeth "Mollie" Matheson) was born in Mar 1889 in Carter County, , , Tennessee; died about 1973 in Carter County, , , Tennessee; was buried in Rittertown Baptist Church Cemetery, , Carter County, Tennessee.
