In this two-part installment of True Tales from Canton’s Past, local historian George T. Comeau recounts the February 1895 murder of John Fleming, a young man of just 18 who was fatally shot in a downtown Canton shop. The series was originally published in the Citizen in early 2020 and was reprinted over the past two issues (2/1 and 2/8).
