The Verden News
May 6, 1927



Verden and vicinity were greatly shocked when they learned that Grant 
King had accidentally shot himself Sunday evening.

Mr. King had started out to kill some crows with a shot gun, while going 
out his back porch steps, he fell, the gun discharged, blowing off part 
of his skull.

The body was brought to the Hansen undertaking parlor and held until 
Tuesday, when his relatives all arrived. The funeral was held at 3 
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. A very large crowd assembled at the Methodist 
church and at the cemetery in Verden where the remains were laid to 
rest.
