Burial in the Richmond Cemetery, with services conducted by Bro. Campbell, assisted by Bros. Beck and Parnell. The deceased leaves a wife and little baby, and three brothers.
Sulphur Springs Gazette, June 28, 1912, Brinker column

Later reported - Hackleman was shot and killed by Pink Holley at Porter's store at Mahoney last Friday evening about 6 o'clock. The best we can gather, Holley and Hackleman had some misunderstanding or difference about a crop, Hackleman having bought Holley’s crop and taken possession. They had met and had words about the matter several times and Holley had been to town to see about having Hackleman ejected from the place. Holley was going to Mahoney Friday evening on horseback and overtook Hackleman a short distance this side of Porter's store; Hackleman was a-foot and walked down the road alongside of Holley's horse. There was some loud talking between the two and just as they reached Porter’s store, Holley drew a pistol and shot Hackleman twice through the back, both shots taking effect below the shoulder; both wounds were considered fatal and death was almost instantaneous. Holley left the store shortly after the shooting and went across the country to his brother's home in Flora, phoning Constable N. A. Flippin of his whereabouts. The sheriff’s office was notified here, and as Sheriff Ray was in the south part of the county, Constable Pole Bingham went out and joined Constable Flippin. Bingham and Flippin had no trouble finding Holley; they placed him under arrest and brought him here to jail. Assistant County Attorney Henry E. Pharr went to Mahoney and conducted the inquest.
