Excerpt from website: The Rock Church
"Ed Johnson also worked as a laborer at this church, Thankful Memorial Episcopal Church. He had been unable to work there in the days leading up to the attack due to cold weather. Will Hixson went to the stone yard by the church and asked the foreman for Johnson's name. Armed with a name and a description, Hixson turned in Johnson's information to Sheriff Shipp and collected the $375 reward. (worth over $10,000 today)."
