Sizemore Shooting

| Thousandsticks, Ky

Elijah Sizemore, 36, was shot and killed in Hyden last Sunday night between 9:00 and 10:00 o’clock by Henry Davidson. Davidson was a member of the Hyden City Police Force and it had been reported that Sizemore and one of Davidson’s sons, Edward had been having trouble prior to the killing. According to reports, young Davidson and Sizemore had engaged in an argument after which Sizemore came out and was sitting in an automobile when both Davidson’s came out and the shooting occurred.

 

Comments

This particular incident changed my grandfathers life, my uncle Edward and Elijah's family forever. Henry Davidson was a Marshall on duty of Hyden, Ky at the time and they were found guilty of murder and given life sentences. They served 8 years and was released. They moved a way and started a new life. My family has always felt that it was an injustice for two lawmen to go to prison while trying to do their job. However, many newspaper articles claimed it was a dispute settled by law and justice by only two men. Since Elijah Sizemore was Henry Davidson's son-in-law, this made it appear as a family dispute.
