Allowed Negro Burial in White Cemetery Controversy Spurs Move

They plan to move James Lewis’s body to a Negro cemetery, citing fears for Lathems’ safety and workers. Mary Lee Byron is serving a manslaughter sentence for the related killing. Jeremy Hoskey, 9, underwent foot surgery after a mower accident at home.
