Deanna, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Lincoln was shot and instantly killed from the bullet of a hunters gun who mistook her dog for a fox. It was about 10:30 Saturday morning that Deanna and her brother, Lanny, age 9, and their collie dog, Frisky, left the Lincoln home, which is located at the top of a hill on the west side of the Des Moines River. They were going out into the woods to get a Christmas tree to decorate their home for the yuletide season. About 10:45 the three figures appeared at the top of a knoll still looking for a tree. In the meantime a group of four or five hunters trudging along in the fog and rain came upon the knoll. One of the hunters, Allan Mougin, spotted one of the figures on the knoll, the collie dog. Thinking it was a fox, he opened fire. The hunters heard a scream and ran to the scene. Brother, Lanny, heard his sister say, "Im shot, run get mother to help me!" She ran about 20 feet and fell and Lanny ran to their farm home a few hundred yards away to get his mother. Mrs. Lincoln rushed to the scene and she and Mougin carried Deanna to the house. Dr. H.W. Smith, the Boone County coroner, G.H. Sutton, and and county sheriff, Steve Beaulieu were all summoned. The coroner ruled the mishap an accident and no inquest. Doctors said the bullet went in her back and through her chest. The grief stricken parents, who in their own words told of the mishap said the collie dog was always with the children and was always close to them. "Deanna was a great lover of the out of doors," reported Mrs. Lincoln. "I always heard of accidents of this sort but never knew it could come so close to home." Mr. Lincoln is employed at the Leonard Implement, where he was at the time of the mishap. Deanna was active in 4-H club work and was Vice-President of her 4-H club. She has been a secretary of the club. She was a Freshman in Woodward High School, participated in many activities, although she did not play basketball. She is survived by her parents, her younger brother, and six month old sister, Rona Lynn. She has two grandfathers, Fred Pierce, and Robert Lincoln. Mougin reported the incident to authorities and said he and the other men had started out hunting deer but the wind had shifted so they changed to hunting fox. They hadn't shot any foxes. Mougin was using a high-powered 8mm rifle. The other men with the party were Emmett Noland, Wayne Burkhart, Rudy Hurlock, all of the Woodward community, and Dr. T.A. Person, a Perry dentist. Funeral services were held at 1:30 Monday afternoon from the Church of God in Madrid with Rev. Wilbert R. Nelson, the pastor, officiating. The church sanctuary and basement were filled to capacity by friends and relatives of the deceased. Several bus loads of Woodward students attended the funeral. Music was furnished by a mixed quartet composed of Mr. and Mrs. Glen Tyrell and Mr. and Mrs. Wendell Lehman with Mrs. Mitchelen as accompanist. Janice Shepard sang a solo accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Guy Shepard. Flower girls were Martha Beck, Suzanne Bullen, Jolene Frantum, Dolores Wheeler, Karen Sheperd and Christine Homesley.
