L. S. Plemmons of Trust Accidentally Killed Himself

Mr. L. S. Plemmons of Trust died last Sunday afternoon at a hospital in
Asheville as the result of a bullet wound Saturday morning accidentally
inflicted upon himself.  The body was brought back to Trust and buried
Monday.
Mr. Plemmons, 48 years old, had traded pistols with a neighbor early
Saturday morning.  He brought the .25 calibre automatic, which he received
in the trade, to his home on Spring Creek and was demonstrating it to his
wife when it accidentally fired, the ball piercing his intestines in six
places.
Mrs. Plemmons, his wife and John Hipps, a neighbor, placed the wounded man
in an automobile and rushed him to the hospital.  He underwent an operation
shortly after his arrival but little hope was held out for his recovery.
Surviving are his widow and seven children, five daughters and two sons.
