Sevilla Jones
popular name: Sevilla Jones
date_of_death: January 13, 1854
age: 17
cause_of_death: Murdered - 4 gunshot wounds to the head
claim_to_fame: Crime and their Victims
best_know_for: In the 1800s Sevilla Jones was a 17-year-old girl who was shot dead by Henry Sargent one morning as she was walking to school with her younger brother. Henry loved Sevilla, and he believed that she had “given him encouragement.” However, he had a rival in another young man, named Bartlett. Henry used a revolver to shoot Sevilla four times, killing her instantly. He then shot himself, but with less immediate success. It has been said that a doctor was fetched, but this doctor was so angry that he refused to treat Henry’s wound. Henry died hours later. What makes this horrible deed so fascinating is the Sevilla's mother made sure the history would not forget her daughter and named the murderer and his deed right on her tombstone.
