One of the Goth century TRACE
dies that are taking place every
where happened near Kedron
church Monday afternoon. Feb
ruary 10, when Fate Shumpert.
son of Mrs. Wiley Shumpert, &C
cidentally shot himself through
the heart with a 20 rifle.
To one who does not know
any of the circumstances it does
not seem possible that it was
anything but intentional suicide,
but the writer is thoroughly con-
vinced that it was an accident
due to fearlessness and careless
ness.
Fate had been afflicted from
boy-hood and did many things
normal boys and men feared to
do. but he had no trouble he
had not been accustomed to all
his life, and his health was bet
ter than it had ever been.
He was provided for as if he
were a child, and had never
known anything else but to have
his way in everything.
He was born four miles north
of N~ettleton, June II, 1875, and
lived with his mother at their
home there all his life.
He had many friends, especi-
ally among the younger boys OF
the neighborhood, and he was a
favorite- with them because he
was always cheerful and unself'
ish.
To the bereaved family we ex-
tend our sympathy. and trust to
a Higher Power to heal their
hearts. A Friend.
