Fourth and Monroe - Site of Payne's Hardware
On August 5, 1908, at about 7:00 P.M., the mob reassembled and stopped briefly at Payne's Hardware Store to obtain a length of clothesline rope. This rope was intended to be used for hanging William Donnegan, a seventy-six year old retired black shoemaker.
The sixth marker is located at Second and Monroe Streets.
