Lima News (Lima, Ohio) 19 Apr 1937
A verdict of accidental death was returned by Dr. Joseph M. Huerkamp, Mercer-co
coroner, in the death of L. A. Hall, 68, prominent farmer of Neptune, about six
miles northeast of Celina.

Hall's lifeless body was found at the foot of a stairway in the barn on his farm
by his wife. Deputy Sheriff Bruce Barber and Coroner Huerkamp said facts
indicated the death was accidental.

TOOK GUN TO
SHOOT AT DOG

Mrs. Hall, who was the only other person on the farm at the time, said that her
husband arose at his usual hour this morning to do the milking. After finishing
the milking, he returned to the house and secured the shotgun, telling his wife
that he had noticed a dog after his flock of sheep.

He evidently had started to ascend the stairs in the barn, ostensibly to attempt
to shoot the dog from the upper floor, and in some unexplained manner discharged
the shotgun. The charge entered his head and caused instantaneous death, the
coroner said.

Surviving in addition to the wife are two sons, Harry and Guy, both of
California, and a daughter, Mrs. Mary Grothjan of Washington, D. C.
