Obituary Randall Martin   The body of Randall Martin, colored, was discovered by Henry Mitchell on Sunday, Jan. 16, 1881, on Chambers Creek. The story is that he drowned in an attempt to drive a cow across the high waters of the creek on the previous Thursday, and was washed away. His horse returned home very muddy and with one stirrup torn. No marks of violence were found. It is believed that Martin was living on Mr. Dabney Sims' place on Chamber's Creek.
