Shot Dead By His Wife

The Woman Playing With The Pistol When It Was Discharged

Buchanan, Ga., Nov. 23 – 

Wm. Shell, a prominent citizen of Bremen County, was accidentally shot and 
killed by his wife this morning at 10 o’clock.  The day previous he traded for 
a 41 caliber revolver, which was lying near where he was sitting in a chair 
nursing a hand with blood poison.  Mrs. Shell picked up the pistol and was 
playing with it and her 18 months old babe when the pistol was discharged, the 
ball entering Mr. Shell’s right side, passing near his heart and producing 
death in forty-five minutes.  The only words spoken was in answer to his wife 
when she asked him if he would forgive her.  He replied, “I forgive you.”  Mrs. 
Shell is prostrated with grief.


Additional Comments:
Note:This article lists the location of death as Bremen County, however there 
isn't a county in Georgia with this name. Buchanan, Ga. is located in Haralson 
County, so I'm posting the article to this county page.  I'm not researching 
this family and have no details on them.
