W. Scott (killed by ricochet bullet), John Caldwell (shot by militia), Louis Hanen (shot by militia) – died at the hands of other white mob members, or by the hands of the white state militia. In addition, at least one black infant died from exposure, after her family was made refugees and no neighboring community would allow them in. Some black deaths were unaccounted for because their loved ones buried them at night out of fear that whites might attack them, while the loved ones of other black people transported the bodies of their dead off to the countryside for burial. It was also said that several black people were burned alive in their homes and that, at one point, black people had to send out of town for more caskets as they had run out. Early after he was shot, William H. Bowe was erroneously reported as being killed by black people. However, he did not die, and continued to live in Springfield until he died 50 years later, in 1958. Refugees Many black people fled Springfield during the attacks. They had to escape on foot and hid in corn fields, sometimes getting onto trains, or pleading for refuge with nearby rural families. Mattie Hale recalled her family took people in: Those who returned to Springfield faced increased hostility. For example, when a group of newly homeless and destitute black women returned with their children, at 12:15 p.m., near Pasfield and Cedar streets, the white residents sounded the fire alarm. When the firemen came, the white residents stated they were looking for protection as they were "frightened by the presence" of the women and children. Many black people returning had no personal effects except what they managed to carry with them: Governor Deneen arranged for the homeless to take refuge in the State Arsenal, and in tents at Camp Lincoln. Several hundred went to the Arsenal; however, many refused to live there and wanted to leave the city, as they felt unsafe: Many refugees who fled were denied any assistance in neighboring towns, and were turned away with no provisions even after long treks. For example, Buffalo, about 15 miles from Springfield, posted a sign at the train station: "All niggers wanted out of town by Monday, 12 am sharp – BUFFALO SHARP SHOOTERS." Refugees who took trains to Jacksonville, Peoria and Sterling, were met by armed police who
