Historic researcher Jane Smith believes the 1898 lynching of John Henry James, which took place at a place identified as Wood’s Crossing, is located on a strip of land currently owned by Farmington Country Club. A 1919 plat shows the blacksmith shop near where the hanging-by-mob took place. Information courtesy Jane Smith/Google maps
