- Description
- Glass plate features black and white photo of a newspaper clipping. The Hughes murder on Nov. 20, 1898 was one of the largest crime stories in Greer history, and happened just before the murder of Zonk Foster. This newspaper clipping appears to be cut from a published paper. It is possible that this clipping was from the Greer Observer when it was operated by Charles Drace, but that is speculative.
