MRS. SCHULTZ RITES PLANNED
NO INQUEST TO BE HELD IN
ST. ANSGAR SHOOTING BY GIRL, 7St. Ansgar – As funeral arrangements were made for Mrs. Ed Schultz, 43, to be held Wednesday, her daughter, Iona, 7, seemed scarcely to realize that she had killed her mother. The small girl had picked up a gun as the family was moving into a house and accidentally discharged the weapon, fatally injuring her mother.
Coroner J. O. Eiel said no inquest would be held. Meanwhile, an effort was made to keep the girl from realizing the extent of the tragedy and prevent a blot on her life through memory of the event. The girl had said “I found a play gun” as she pulled the trigger to the revolver that had been left in the house by the family moving out.
The funeral services will be held at the Lutheran Church at Toeterville Wednesday afternoon. Meanwhile, members of the Schultz family had moved back to their home at Toeterville. Only their stove had been moved into the new home when the tragedy occurred.
