down on the ground and fired a shotgun into his heart …
During a heavy storm yesterday, back waters covered the ground where
his body lay … His automobile was found on the road and on the seat was a
note saying that his body would be found east of the car, where Sheriff
Ray Steppins and others took it from the water …

++++ 1920 census shows 2 more children ANACCOUNTED for ... One is a daughter, Ruth, born 1918 ... The other name is just too sloppy to read ... It is a daughter, born approximately 1923 ... MY eyes says 'Evelyn ?? ' , and the transcriber of this census says ' Enech C.' .... I scoured family trees on Ancestry, but to no avail, as the kids are listed as "private" ....
