James Thomas " Joe Tom" Dean
James Thomas Dean, known as "Tom", was shot and killed by his younger brother Sumpter on December 03, 1906. The murder took place after the two were involved in a argument, obviously brought on by too much whiskey. James was buried at the Black Rock Cemetery in Crenshaw County. I do not know how much time Sumpter served in prison for his brother's murder, he died April 10, 1952 and was buried alone at the Mt. Zion Cemetery near Brantley in Crenshaw County, Alabama. Crenshaw County, AL Newspaper Abstracts 1900-1909 DEAN - Sump Dean who shot and killed his brother Tom Dean near Honoraville last week is now in the county jail. His trial is set for today, but likely have to be postponed until next Thursday. This is a case where whiskey has caused the shedding of a brothers blood. (The Luverne Journal - December 13, 1906)
