Clay County Sheriff's Office, Kentucky
End of Watch Saturday, September 2, 1899
Add to My HeroesBill Lewis
Deputy Bill Lewis was shot and killed as he attempted to arrest man wanted for murdering Deputy James Stubblefield two months earlier.
Both were killed as a result of the Philpott-Griffin Feud. Their killer, Mart Smith, was reportedly shot and killed by another famous feudist, General May, in Knox County in 1909. As a result of the Philpott-Griffin Feud several men including law enforcement were killed in 1899.
It is important to note that many feuds occurred in Kentucky, and information about officers who lost their life as a result of them, is often confusing, contradictory, and refuted by others.
