• Notes

  Ira AARON is in the 1910 Census where the family is listed in Powellville, Precinct 30 W.C. and lived on Clear Creek Road, Walker County, AL. Ira killed a man in Cullman County, AL before moving to Walker County, AL. He killed this man, Mr. Bailey, in self-defense. Apparently Mr. Bailey allowed his sheep to wander on other peoples farmland and when they came over into Ira's land, he decided to feed them because they looked very sickly. Mr. Bailey didn't like this, so one day he came over with a big pine knot and started swinging it at Ira. Ira hollerred to his son, Sam, to pitch him his pocket knife where he then stabbed Mr. Bailey in the heart. Ira spent the rest of his life in the Cullman County jail although some said that he was never locked up. He was a trustee and he could go home on the weekends, and during planting and harvest time.
