My uncle, James R Marlow, born 1912-1914 was set on fire when he was in his mid 50s. He lived in Chattanooga. I live in TX and I am having a difficult time researching this fact. i do not know he year in which he died but I believe it would ahve been the 60s. If my information is right, he was set on fire by a group of colored men and James is a white man. I would think that something like this would have been in the newspapers. James Marlow was from Sherwood, TN originally. I would like to find an artcle about this event. Sincerely, Suzanne from TX.
