Abolitionist Hung

[Marshall] Texas Republican, October 13, 1860

Rev. Wm. Buley was arrested at Fayetteville, Arks., and brought back to Fort Worth, Texas, and on the 13th, was hung by the Vigilance Committee, on a pecan tree about a mile west of the town. Buley had two sons hung in Texas for their abolitionism. He was the man to whom the Bailey letter was addressed. The White Man states that he had been prowling about the country all last summer, but left Veal’s Station very suddenly. When arrested, he was on his way to Missouri. He told the people of Fayetteville, that if “they came after him from Texas, he was sure to be hung.”
