Clem Pendarvis Killed

Accidental Discharging of Gun Causes Death of Winn Parish Man

The death of Clem Pendarvis, 39 years old, resident of Ward Two, Winn Parish,
at the home of his brother, Troy Pendarvis, in the eastern part of Winn
Parish, Saturday morning, was declared accidental by Coroner Fittz.  It is
said that Pendarvis had attended a dance at the home of Troy Pendarvis
Saturday night, and that he was killed when he accidentally kicked a single
barrel 12 gauge shotgun, which was loaded with squirrel shot, as he started
out of the home of his brother.  The hammer of the gun struck the steps,
causing the gun's discharge.  The full load entered Pendarvis' thigh.  Within
fifteen minutes, Pendarvis was dead from the loss of blood.  He is survived by
his widow and five children.
