More than a dozen majestic oaks still stand in Hall Woods near Hall Cemetery just east of Lacon, witness to a lynching in 1898. The exact site of the lynching, reportedly by a mob of 100 men from Toluca, is left to speculation — unmarked and largely forgotten save an inscription 700 miles away at the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Ala.
