HENRY BISHOP
A terrible accident took place Sun. morning in the residence of Stanislaus Bishop
in Town Two Creeks. Two of Bishop’s sons, 14-yr. old Edward and 11-yr. old Henry
went to the upper story of the family house in order to change their clothes. A
gun was hanging in that room and Edward, believing that it was not loaded, aimed
it at his brother. The gun went off and the full load hit little Henry in the head.
He died 2 hrs. later.

CHILD SHOT
Accidental Discharge of Shotgun Kills Little Henry Bishop
Sunday morning the two little boys of Stanislaus Bishop, a farmer living 7 miles north of
Two Rivers, Edward aged 12 and Henry of 11 were playing with a shotgun that they supposed was not loaded, when the gun was accidentally discharged blowing off part of the head of the younger boy. Medical aid was summoned, but the child died within 2 hours of the accident. It is the same old story of leaving a loaded gun where children can get at it.

SHOT BY HIS BROTHER
Edward Bishop Didn't Know the Gun was Loaded but It Goes Off Just the
Same and Kills His Little Brother
Last Sunday a most horrible tragedy was transacted in the Town of Two
Creeks at the home of Stanislaus Bishop, a Polish farmer of that town.
Two of his sons, Edward, aged 14 and Henry, aged 11 years, went upstairs
to change their clothes. There was a shot gun upstairs which Edward took
and pointed at his brother, snapping the lock at the same time. He
supposed the gun was unloaded but, like many others who aim supposedly
empty guns at people, he found to his sorrow that it was loaded. The gun
went off and shot away a portion of the head of his brother. The poor
unfortunate lad lived for about two hours after the terrible accident.
Of course, young Edward is not to be severely blamed though his act was
a very foolish and dangerous one and it should be a warning to other
boys. He is broken-hearted over the unhappy result. The dead boy will be
buried in the cemetery at this place tomorrow.
