Givens, accidentally shot himself while out hunting, causing his death instantly. Mr. Givens was one of the most respected young men of this vicinity. About five months since he was married to Miss Anna Shirly. He was just recovering from a protracted illness, not yet being able to work, and went out to spend a few hours hunting. Not returning as soon as his wife had expected, his brothers in law went in search of him and found him lying dead with his gun near him. It seems from all appearance, that while attempting to load one barrel of the gun the other barrel had discharged, the load entering his side near his heart. An inquest was held and a verdict of accidental shooting rendered. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. R. E. O'Byrne at the M. E. church, Sabbath, Feb. 30. A large concourse of people assembled to pay their last respects to one whose sterling qualities they could not but admire, and to extend their sympathies to his bereaved wife, parents, brothers and sisters. The bereavement seems doubly sad for his parents since it was but in June last that another son, Joseph Givens, was drowned near Sioux City, and buried there before his parents from this place could reach there.
