Bevans, Edward

Grantsville - On Wednesday word was received here of the death of Edward Bevans 
of Union Bridge, formerly of this place and he was the son of the late Dr. H. J. 
Bevans. Mr. Bevans was on his way to Grantsville and while on his way to the car 
he pulled a revolver from his pocket and shot himself through the back of his 
mouth. The deceased had been in ill health for some time and it is generally 
thought that had something to do with the rash act. The body was brought to the 
home of his father-in-law, Gilead Broadwater on Thursday and on Friday afternoon 
interment was made in the Grantsville cemetery. He was 31 years of age and is 
survived by a wife and six children in Salisbury.
