John Albert Ice, 47, succumbed about midnight at the Newport sanitarium to 
wounds received Saturday afternoon when he was accidentally shot by his 
brother-in-law, James A. Neldon, of Auvergne, as they were hunting 
in the vicinity of young Neldon's home. Mr. Ice is survived by his widow, 
Mrs. Emma Ice, two daughters, Misses Nora Mae and Anna Lee, and a son, 
John Albert Jr. A sister, Mrs. Maude Martin, of Dexter, Mo. also survives. 
Since early manhood Mr. Ice had been an employee of the Rock Island Railroad
Company on the Arkansas-Louisiana division and had been an engineer 
for many years, although he was working as a fireman during recent months. 
The family came to Newport from Hulbert more than a year ago when Mr. Ice 
was transferred to the Newport-Brinkley run, but Mr. Ice had been making 
his headquarters in Memphis since being changed to the Brinkley-Memphis run.
He was spending a few days here with his family during the holidays and 
enjoying a favorite pastime, hunting. 
Of a quiet, retiring nature, Mr. Ice was greatly respected by all who knew 
him, for he was always ready to lend assistance wherever needed and 
he was an ideal husband and father. 
His grief-stricken family has the deep sympathy of their friends 
in their bereavement. 
Arrangements for the funeral are being made by the New Furniture Store 
but have not been completed pending the arrival of Mrs. Martin 
from her home in Missouri.
