Later, he moved to a farm on the west side of the Danville-Hollowtown Pike, southwest of the site of Danville. He sold out to Joshua and Mary M. Hawk and he purchased another farm in the township. Mary Hawk passed away in March, 1893, and he survived until Dec. 11, 1903. (Source: Elsie Johnson Ayres, "Highland Pioneer Sketches and Family Genealogies", Springfield, Ohio: H. K. Skinner and Son, 1971, pg. 671).

Cutting Affray
George Colvin and Dan Welsh, Jr., engaged in a rough-and-tumble fight Saturday night, in front of R. R. Waddell's jewelry store, which resulted in Welsh getting cut with a knife. It seems that Welsh sent Colvin to grass and then jumped on him and commenced pounding him, when Colvin got out his pen-knife and indulged in a little carving. Welsh received six painful cuts, four in the back, one in the stomach and one on the hand, but none of them are serious. Colvin was arrested Monday morning by Marshal Willletts, but Welsh refused to prosecute him and he was fined $5.75 for being drunk and disorderly and fighting. Welsh was not able to move Monday morning. Too much whisky was the cause of the affray.

Battle of Chickamauga
September 18-20, 1863
Estimated Casualties: 34,624 total (US 16,170; CS 18,454
Description: After the Tullahoma Campaign, Rosecrans renewed his offensive, aiming to force the Confederates out of Chattanooga. The three army corps comprising Rosecrans’ s army split and set out for Chattanooga by separate routes. In early September, Rosecrans consolidated his forces scattered in Tennessee and Georgia and forced Bragg’s army out of Chattanooga, heading south. The Union troops followed it and brushed with it at Davis’ Cross Roads. Bragg was determined to reoccupy Chattanooga and decided to meet a part of Rosecrans’s army, defeat them, and then move back into the city. On the 17th he headed north, intending to meet and beat the XXI Army Corps. As Bragg marched north on the 18th, his cavalry and infantry fought with Union cavalry and mounted infantry which were armed with Spencer repeating rifles. Fighting began in earnest on the morning of the 19th, and Bragg’s men hammered but did not break the Union line. The next day, Bragg continued his assault on the Union line on the left, and in late morning, Rosecrans was informed that he had a gap in his line. In moving units to shore up the supposed gap, Rosencrans created one, and James Longstreet’s men promptly exploited it, driving one-third of the Union army, including Rosecrans himself, from the field. George H. Thomas took over command and began consolidating forces on Horseshoe Ridge and Snodgrass Hill. Although the Rebels launched determined assaults on these forces, they held until after dark. Thomas then led these men from the field leaving it to the Confederates. The Union retired to Chattanooga while the Rebels occupied the surrounding heights. Result: Confederate victory

FEUD OF COLVINS PROVES FATAL
Self Defense Claimed
Charles Colvin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Colvin, was shot and probably fatally wounded Saturday evening by Ed. Colvin
The mother of young Colvin, who was summoned to his side shortly after the shooting and had attended him Sunday and Sunday night, was found dead in her bed Monday morning, presumably from heart disease, the fatal attack doubtless superinduced by the excitement resulting from the tragedy.

Second Degree Murder
Charge Under Which Ed. Colvin is Bound Over to Grand Jury.
The preliminary examination of E. Colvin, who fatally shot Charles Colvin Jan. 14, was held before Mayor Morrow in the court house last Thursday and resulted in the accused being held to the Grand Jury under bond of $5,000 with Gilbert Holmes, J. M. Hughey, H. C. Dawson, O.l S. Lemon and James G. Lyle as bondsmen.
Taylor Bennington, Wilbert Colvin, Drs. Larkin and Glenn, Merchant's Policeman Roush, Siegel Shaw, Kirby Raines, M. H. Weddling and Misses Rosa King and Lillian Ambrose were called to testify as to the circumstances of the shooting, but little if anything, was developed that had not already been told in these columns. Excitement over the affair has died out somewhat, and there will probably be little heard of it until the Grand Jury acts. Han. Ulric Sloane, I. McD. and Col. D. Q.

Colvin Murder Case
The trial of Edward Colvin, charged with murder in the second degree for the killing of Charles Colvin in this city on January 14, is in progress in the Common Pleas Court, having commenced Monday Morning. Judge Charles Dresbach, of Circleville, is on the bench. The work of securing a jury occupied all of Monday and until noon Tuesday. Both sides used all the preemptory challenges allowed by law and the twelve men who have Ed. Colvin's fate in their hands are as stated above.
Large crowds are constantly in attendance. The evidence promises to be of the raciest character Judge Dresbach is pushing the trial rapidly and has made an excellent impression on all who believe in courts transacting business promptly and without unnecessary delay.
Prosecutor Sams is assisted in the case by H. W. Stafford, of Springfield, and H. A. Pavey, of this city. Ulric Sloane has charge of the defense and is assisted by D. Q. Morrow and I. McD. Smith.
Mr. Pavey stated the case on behalf of the State which will offer testimony to prove the following: "That the defendant shot Charles Colvin on the evening of January 14, 1905, at the entrance leading to the stairway between Free's store and Fullerton's drug store. That the wound inflicted proved fatal a few days later. That the slayer and the victim are related by blood. That for years Ed. Colvin had endeavored to establish illicit relations with Minnie Colvin, and unmarried sister of Charles Colvin. That about 18 months before the killling their mother had ordered E. Colvin not to come to their house. That since then he had persecuted the family of Jasper Colvin and threatened them. That he was violently jealous of anyone whom he suspected of paing attention to the girl. That on the morning of the day of the murder Edward Colvin met Jasper Colvin on on the street and insultingly dunned and abused him about a $5.00 loan which Jasper claimed his daughter Hetty had repaid. That the two sons of Jasper Colvin learned of the attack on their father. That when they met Ed. that evening one of them asked what he meant by attacking their father. That E. replied with oaths and pointed his revolver at them. That Charles Colvin grasped the hand holding the revolver and pointed it downward, but when he released his grip, was shot. That a struggle ensued in which Ed. Colvin was disarmed by the two boys and a man named Bennington. That two years before the crime Ed. Colvin was armed and threatening to do up the Colvin's.
In presenting the case for the defense, Mr. Sloane admitted the shooting, but stated they would show that it was done in self defense; that the two young men attacked Ed Colvin, and that he was in danger of great bodily harm, if not the loss of life when he fired the shot. The bad feeling existing between the families was denied, and a savage attack made on the character of Jasper Colvin's daughters. That Ed Colvin's business necessitated the carrying of large sums of money and accounted for his having the revolver.
Dr. J. C. Larkin was the first witness called. He was called to Dr. Glenn's office to wait upon the injured boy shortly after the shooting. Found a gun shot wound in the abdomen, and with Drs. Glenn and Nelson performed an operation. The course of the bullet was almost straight across the body, perforating both walls of the lower part of the stomach. He described the operation in detail. With the same physicians he also held an autopsy on the body, and described the course of the bullet. In his opinion the wound was necessarily fatal.
Drs. Glenn and Nelson followed, and their testimony corroborated that of Dr. Larkins in all particulars.
