Hello list,
I hope someone will be able to help me with this.

I have Lawrence ancestors in and around Mayfield but haven't been able to
find out the names of the Lawrence family mentioned in the following article
I found on Find A Grave. Does anyone know who they were?

Thanks bunches,
Linda

This is Mayfield, Kentucky's oldest unsolved mystery. In 1921, there was a
fire at the Drew family house where a party was going on. The visiting
family was the Lawrence family. It was later testified in court that
gunshots were heard just before the fire, and it immediately turned into a
murder mystery. Both the Lawrence family and the Drew family died in the
fire (11 people all together.) The bodies were so badly burned that they
were all piled into one casket and buried in the same grave.
