Barren County (KY) Progress, Thursday, 11 May 1978, p. 6.
"A former Metcalfe resident was killed early last Friday morning in a gun 
mishap which occurred in the Knob Lick vicinity. Sheriff Bill Moore said Earl 
Freeman, 62, of Glasgow, died after being struck in the chest by the blast from 
a 12 gauge shotgun which he had attempted to pull from a gun rack mounted in 
the cab of his truck. The vehicle was parked in the yard at the home of his 
daughter, Mrs Bobby McCandless at the time of the accident. Sheriff Moore said 
the gun's trigger had apparently caught on a hook of the rack when Freeman 
reached for it causing it to accidentally discharge.

"Survivors include his wife, Madelyn; two daughters, Mrs. Inis McCandless of 
Knob Lick; and Mrs. Gail Gillett, Lexington; one son, Gene Freeman of Glasgow; 
and five grandchildren.

"Funeral services were held Sunday at Butler Funeral Home with Bro. Kenneth 
Grizzle officiating. Burial was in the Hiseville Cemetery. He was a member of 
the Savoyard Baptist Church."
