June 16 1944 Fresno Woman Takes Own Life
Mrs. Sarah E. Kincheloe, 57, of 5203 Turner Avenue, a native of Fresno, died in her home at about 6 o'clock this morning after shooting herself with a .22 caliber rifle.
Deputy Coroner J. Harlan Clarke said Mrs. Kincheloe shot herself while in bed. The shot aroused her sister, Mrs. Ruby Fink, who was sleeping in another room.
Mrs. Fink did not recognize the sound as a shot, however, and when she went into Mrs. Kincheloe's room and saw her lying in bed threshing her arms she assumed she was ill.

Hides Rifle
She summoned neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Bernal Carlson, who discovered the wound and found the rifel, which was hidden under the bedclothes. Mrs. Kincheloe died a few minutes later.
Clark said members of the family told him Mrs. Kincheloe frequently expressed concern about her son, Newton Kincheloe, who is in the service in the South Pacific. In recent months she had been despondent because of poor health. Although she had complained of her health, she had made no threats to take her life.
