The Oskaloosa Independent, Jefferson County, Saturday, April 21, 1877
>From Valley Falls area.
We give below what we have been able to learn of the cause of two sudden deaths
which occurred on Saturday, the 14th inst., and acknowledge our indebtedness to
Dr. Gephart, who was called upon in both cases, for the particulars. Marshall
FAULK, son of Adam Faulk, about 16 years, was plowing for his uncle, J.H. Faulk,
about two miles from town, when deceased drove to one corner of the field, his
brother and cousin were driving along the road, twelve or fourteen steps from
deceased, with a load of fodder. They had a shot gun with them, and while
drawing the gun across the fodder, it was discharged, the shot passing through
the fodder and four or five struck the deceased. The fatal shot having entered
just below the right eye. This was about 10 o'clock, and he died a little after
12. His funeral was preached on Sunday, at 11 o'clock by Rev. E. Gill.
