The Altoona Tribune. (Altoona, Pa.) August 12, 1858
George De Dier, of West Brandywine township, Chester county, put an end to his life
on Friday night week, by shooting himself. He got up after the family had retired to
bed, and taking a loaded gun, went into a shop adjoining, and shot himself. He
placed the muzzle of the gun against his left side, opposite his heart, and probably
rested the gun on the floor, and with a stick be forced the trigger. The load
entered bis side, penetrated his heart, and came out at the opposite shoulder. The
report alarmed his family, which consisted of a wife and three children. The gun was
loaded with shot. It was about two o'clock in the morning that the deed was done.
