Billy Surratt was also involved in an unfortunate and life-altering incident in early 1900, when during a moonshine dispute with his cousin's husband, James Henry Turner (1870-1900), Surratt fatally slashed the throat of Turner, after being shot (or shot at) by Turner. One's hogs had gotten into the other's corn mash. Billy Surratt, a farmer by trade, was hauled into the county jail at Wytheville, Wythe County, Virginia, about May 1900 on charges of murder. Surratt was incarcerated when the Census was taken on 02 Jun 1900. Family stories and vague newspaper references (from the Mount Airy News) indicate that Surratt was eventually acquitted of the crime. Surratt, who married Nancy Melinda Snow on 27 Mar 1890 in Carroll Co., had eight children between 1893 and 1917. All but one (Ola, 1908-1911) survived to adulthood. Later in life, Billy Surratt worked as a merchant, running (or working in) a grocery store. On February 10, 1934, he experienced frostbitten feet while intoxicated and was hospitalized. Surratt died a little after 2 am on February 14, 1934, suffering from gangrene and pneumonia.
