A Sad Tragedy
A very sad tragedy occurred at Crabbottom about nine-thirty o’clock Wednesday night, March 25th, when Miss Katherine Kiser, 14, youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Web Kiser, shot herself in the forehead with a 22 rifle, death following immediately.
The full particulars have not reached this office except that she had been seated with her mother, who has been confined to her room for sometime with arthritis, and had been knitting for some time before she left the room, without giving explanation.
Her father returning home, mentioned to his wife that he was going out to feed a lamb in the back yard, and asked where Katherine was. Mrs. Kiser told him that she had heard the door close to the room over the washhouse, which the daughter had used as a play room, but it seems she had not heard the rifle report.
Upon investigation Mr. Kiser found the child’s body just back of the door where she had fallen.
Besides her parents she is survived by a sister Mary June, 17, and a brother Dan Tucker, 15.
We join the bereaved parents in their sadness.
