Gilmore, Bert
Used Shotgun to End Life Relatives here have received word from Grover Gilmore of Bladen, who went to Leith, North Dakota, to investigate the cause of his brother Bert's recent suicide. Grover writes back that Bert had been in poor health for sometime, and was under the impression that his malady was incurable. Brooding over this he became very melancholy, and deliberately set about planning to take his own life. On the day of his death, Mr. Gilmore's wife was about the yard attending to some work, when he sent their little daughter to ask the mother to come to him as he was ill. When she entered the house Mrs. Gilmore found her husband lying dead across a bed with a shotgun charge through his heart. He had braced the gun against a sewing machine and pressed the trigger with a stick. Death was instantaneous. Grover Gilmore will reamin in North Dakota for a time at least and___________the farm.
[Note: Bert Gilmore was born in Gallia County ca 1876 to J(ames) Hamilton Gilmore and Ann Slater]
