Joseph Lattimore

Dispensary Constable Joseph Lattimore was shot and killed in Gaffney, South Carolina, while arresting a man for operating a blind tiger on Limestone Street.

Constable Lattimore was survived by his wife and several children. He was buried in his hometown of Lattimore's Station, North Carolina.
