The home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack McLane, who reside about six miles west of Verden was made very sad Sunday, when their son Charles accidentally killed himself with a gun. It was reported to us that he and a sister were riding home together when Charles saw some birds he said he was going to shoot, and in getting the gun it discharged, killing him instantly.

There was a large crowd in attendance and a very beautiful floral offering displayed.
