E. C. Camorer - Madison Parish, Louisiana 

From Madison Journal December 28, 1916

E. C. Camorer

About noon yesterday Mr. E. C. Camorer was killed at the Banner plantation by Mr. W. M. Summers, 
manager for F. C. Milligan, owner of Huon and Banner.

The Journal has been unable to get details in regard to the tragedy but learned that a coroner's 
investigation immediately after the killing resulted in a verdict that the killing was in self 
defense and that Mr. Camorer was attempting to kill Mr. Summers with a shotgun.

Mr. Camorer was from Iowa and at one time part owner of the plantations mentioned above and still 
had some interest in same. It appears that the difficulty arose over differences in connection with 
the places and that Camorer had ordered Summers off the property which action finally lead to heated 
words followed up by an attack on Summers by Camorer.
