King HARVICK, my great grandpa, had
a nephew, King Harvick, son of Nickolus
HARVICK. King, the nephew,is the one
who was killed while he and friends were
playing a prank on a man they considered
a coward. They faked an Indian raid on
the man's homeplace. The man, I think his
last name was HESTER, shot young King,
thinking he was an Indian. A year or so
later, King's father Nickolus, shot and killed
HESTER and his 5 year old son as they sat
on the steps of the school house on Sunday
morning. They were holding church in the
school house. Nickolus was never heard from
in the area again. Anyway, that's how the story
goes.
