Taken from McDonald Pa Outlook 14 Jul 1921

Mrs. Lottie STEWART died at the Mercy hospital on Sunday morning 
as the result of a bullet fired from a revolver in the hands of a 13 year 
old boy. Mrs. STEWART who lives in Cecil township near McDonald was at the 
AYRES home and had done the washing. Charles ROBINSON, aged 13, of 
Pittsburgh, a nephew of Mrs. AYRES and who was visiting the AYRES home, had 
a 32 caliber revolver which he playfully pointed at Mrs. STEWART, not 
knowing that it was loaded. He pulled the trigger and the bullet struck her 
in the abdomen. The revolver with which the shooting was done had been 
purchased only a short time ago by Mr. AYRES on account of robberies that 
had recently taken place in the neighborhood. Mrs. STEWART was 70 years of 
age.
