ELIAS SANNER

Accidentally Shot While Shooting Crows

  Elias Sanner, 23 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Sanner, residing two 
miles west of Kingwood in Upper Turkeyfoot Township, was found dead in the woods 
near his home, Monday morning, June 15, by his younger brother, Berkey Sanner, 
who was attracted to the scene by the queer conduct of the family dog.  From the 
position of the body, which lay between two logs, it appeared that after 
stepping over one of the logs, using his shotgun as a support, the weapon had 
been accidentally exploded, the charge of shot entering below the left shoulder 
and penetrating the heart.  The accident happened while he was shooting crows.
  Elias Sanner was born April 20, 1907.  For four years he had worked as a 
lumberman for Ross Kregar of Kingwood.  Besides his parents he is survived by 
five brothers and four sisters.
