HENRY WHITLOCK
June 11, 1896

Henry Whitlock, a boy of 13 shot and instantly killed himself at 
Mammoth last Friday afternoon. He was the stepson of E.E. Putnam, 
bookkeeper for E.W. Childs. No one knows how the shooting 
occurred but it was doubtless accidental. The boy was alone 
in a room at his home. His mother in an adjoining room heard 
the discharge of a revolver.  When she entered the room her 
son was already dead.  The ball had entered the left breast 
and had passed nearly through the body.
