Verble, Mal: A most terrible tragedy occurred here last Thursday afternoon. Mr. Mal Verble took his shotgun and walked out over his farm, telling his wife he thought he heard dogs among his sheep. About sundown his family heard the report of his gun. They waited supper awhile, but supposing him to be watching for sheepkilling dogs, they ate supper and retired to bed. Mrs. Verble and her son Charlie could not rest, so they arose and called him about 9 o'clock, and receiving no answer they sent Ben Verble, a lad of 12 years, and Mr. Butler to look for him. They saw his gun setting upright against a field gate, and supposing him to be near, they called him. Getting no answer little Ben, stepping through the gate, confronted a spectacle many men would shrink to face -- his father lying dead, his face upturned to the pitiless rain, a ghastly hole torn in his face. The discharge of the gun had entered his head just below the right eye, lodging in the brain. It is supposed he tried to pull his gun through the gate and it went off, killing him instantly. Mr. Verble was no church member, yet his daily walk proved that he was a worshipper of God. He was kind and generous to the poor and needy, kind and loving to his family, and a helpful friend to the people in general. He leaves a wife and five children and many relatives and friends to mourn his sad and lonely death. God help them all to bravely bear their grief. In the presence of about 200 relatives and friends his body was laid to rest in the cemetery at Oakolona. Rev. Swan made a beautiful and impressive talk. Be comforted, Mrs. Verble and children. All things work together for good to those that love God. [Date: 4/21/1910, Vol. VIII, No. 16, Page 1]
