Notes

SHANNON, L.B. - We are sorry to learn of the sad and untimely death of Mr. L.B. Shannon, living near Evansville, this county, on Tuesday of last week, which occurred under very distressing circumstances. The deceased and his father and mother-in-law, Mrs. Hoffman, were on their way to Van Buren in a wagon and when near Cedarville Mr. Shannon in getting up in the wagon accidentally knocked a pistol down that was hanging to the bows of the wagon and in trying to catch it was discharged, the ball passing in at the navel and causing death in a few hours. [Fayetteville Democrat 11/29/83]
