Kirvin is a town in Freestone County, Texas, United States.
On May 6, 1922, three local African-American men were lynched in Kirvin by being mutilated and then burned alive for the alleged murder of a 17-year-old white girl, Eula Ausley. Their names were Snap Curry, Mose Jones and Johnny Cornish. Some 500 local Kirvin townsfolk, including the victim's grandfather, took part in the killings. Evidence now points to the innocence of at least two of the three victims. During the next month, there were several more instances of lynching by hanging of other black men in the area. Ausley is buried in the Shanks Memorial Cemetery in Kirvin, on 950 just east of FM 80. A book by Monte Akers titled Flames After Midnight: Murder, Vengeance, and the Desolation of a Texas Community was written about the incident. Two white men who were suspects in the Ausley killing were never charged-despite bloody tracks from the murder scene to their house.
