Unresolved killing of Basile LaPlace Jr.
Basile LaPlace Jr. was reportedly found hanging from an oak tree on the property with bullet wounds on October 11, 1899. Later accounts attributed the killing either to local Ku Klux Klan members or to a caretaker's family, but the available account presents both as unproven explanations.
