Daily Chief, Upper Sandusky, Wyandot County, Ohio Monday, September 29, 1924 SHOOTS WIFE, KILLS SELF Gilbert Stull, Formerly of This City, in Bucyrus Tragedy Gilbert Stull, forty, formerly employed in a local meat market, shot his wife, who was Mrs. Rowena McCracken, of this city, three times, at Bucyrus Sunday, and then drank poison. He died shortly after. Mrs. Stull is not seriously injured and will recover. Mr. and Mrs. Stull had separated some time ago, Mrs. Stull residing with her daughter, Mrs. James Collins, 628 East Warren street, Bucyrus, and had recently returned from a visit with her daughters, Bessie and Alverta in Cleveland. Mr. Stull had been employed at Fremont, driving a truck for a construction company. He returned to Bucyrus late Saturday night or Sunday morning and went to the Collins home. He asked to see his wife. It was her birthday. He was admitted to the house and when Mrs. Stull came into the room he pled with her to take him back. She refused. Mr. Stull is then said to have remarked that it was no use and if he couldn't have his wife no one else could. He then proceeded to unwrap a package said to have contained a revolver, a bottle of poison and a razor. He quickly loaded the revolver in the presence of his wife, who stood terrified before him. Seeing that Stull was about to shoot, his wife grabbed his wrist and the bullet hit her in the chin and glanced into her shoulder. She struggled with Stull, broke away, rushed to a room in the front part of the house, locked the door and stood against it to keep him from breaking it in. Stull shot twice through the door. One shot lodged above the elbow in her right arm. The other tore through her left arm above the elbow. Mrs. Stull ceased screaming and her husband evidently thought he had killed her. Police had been summoned at the first shot, but they were too late, for Stull had uncorked the bottle of poison and swallowed the contents, dying almost instantly. Mrs. Stull was still standing when the ambulance arrived. The revolver and the bottle were found under a chair. About six weeks ago, Mrs. Stull was visiting the home of her brother, O. B. Smith, in this city. It is said Stull came then and asked to see her and that he was carrying a package that appeared to be the same as the one in which he carried the weapons and poison. She would not see him then and he went away. Mrs. Stull was taken to Monnett hospital and was getting along nicely Monday. Mr. Stull was aged about forty years and leaves a brother, Hershel, in Perrysville and a brother in Toledo. His remains are at Henderson & Rinker undertaking parlors in Bucyrus. The Stulls moved to Bucyrus from this city a year and a half ago. Wyandot County Republican, Upper Sandusky, Ohio Thursday, January 27, 1898 MRS.
