Jesse Mahaffey was killed in a church or coming out of a church by Doc Southerland on August 6, 1915, in Madison County, Arkansas, leaving Jesse's widow with several children still at home. There is some controversay about the details of Jesse Mahaffey's death. Our version is that Doc Southerland wanted to date one of Jesse's daughters and Jesse forbade it. Words were exchanged, threats made and Doc Southerland shot an unarmed Jesse Mahaffey at a church in Madison County, Arkansas. Doc Southerland was tried and convicted but spent very little time in jail for this murder. I have reason to believe another version of this story I've read may be more accurate but have no first-hand knowledge of same so I'll leave it to others to tell it.
