DOUBLE SERVICE FOR VICTIMS IS PLANNED -- In a double service in the snow-covered little Mouth Pleasant churchyard, William L. Fugate and his wife Flora, murder and suicide victims, will be laid to rest side by side Sunday afternoon. Apparently enraged because his wife had filed a divorce suit against him, Fugate shot and killed her at their farm hone between Ash Grove and Willard Friday night, and immediately turned the gun on himself, and slumped to the floor at her feet, dead. Verba Lee Fugate, 29, daughter of the couple, told coroner Charles A. George that the couple quarreled over the impending suit Friday evening, as the three of them sat together in the home. The quarrel grew more bitter until finally Mr. Fugate grasped his wife, dragged her into a bedroom, threw her onto the bed and fired three shots into her body, two entering her forehead and one her right shoulder. The daughter then lost consciousness from fright, and the next she knew, her father was lying dead on the floor, a wound in his temple, and the .38 caliber Smith and Weston revolver beside him. Terror stricken, the girl ran to the home of a neighbor, who notified the coroner. Dr. George said there will be no inquest, since the affair seems a clear case of murder and suicide. Mrs. Fugate had alleged in her divorce petition that her husband had been frequently absent from home for days or weeks. The petition, February 4, stated that they were married in 1898 and had lived at their present farm 25 years. Mr. Fugate was a prominent Greene county farmer, and had served as road overseer. Men who worked with him in that capacity recalled here Saturday that he always seemed a likable person, well-groomed and apparently of good standing. The dead parents are survived by the daughter at the home, another daughter Margaret Alaine Killingsworth, 21, and a son, Chester, 17. Other survivors of Mrs. Fugate are two brothers, Wade Derrossett of Phenix, Mo. And Mervey Derrossett of Morrisville, Mo.; three sisters Mrs. Slona Rainey of Vista, Mo., Mrs. Nora Degraffenreid of Bolivar, and Mrs. Lucy Robertson of Springfield; and her mother, Mrs. Margaret Derrossett of Springfield. Mr. Fugate is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. James Richter of Ash Grove and Mrs. Ellen Hartzog of Springfield. Funeral services will be at 2 o’clock at Mount Pleasant Church just a mile from the farm home where the double tragedy occurred, under direction of Brim Funeral home at Walnut Grove.
