1909 April 22 Mount Airy News. Cousin Columbus Cockerham had died 4 February 1908:
Eugene and George Hays were fined $15 each and the cost in the action for an assault on a negro, Roof Bryan at the sale of the late Columbus Cockerham. It appeared that the negro had acted in an impudent manner towards a white man and the boys ran him home in a rather rough manner. They fired off their pistols and caused the negro to leave with all possible speed. They claimed that they tried to arrest the negro and he ran and the shooting was done in an attempt to intimidate so that they could arrest him.
