This community was very deeply stirred last Saturday morning when word was received from the Hampton hospital that Lee E. Esslinger had passed away from effects of a gunshot wound receive the day before while he and friends were hunting pheasants. As the report reaches us Mr. Esslinger, in company with Mr. and Mrs. Chet DeMoss of this place, left here Friday afternoon to spend the afternoon hunting. Along about 4:00 in the afternoon, as they were proceeding along the highway about 1 mile north of Sheffield, several birds were sighted in a nearby field, and Mrs. DeMoss who was driving, stopped the car, the men put their guns together and begin to get out of the car. Mr. Esslinger got out first, and just as he was stepping to the ground, the shotgun in the hands of Mr. DeMoss discharged, the load of shot hitting the former in the leg just below the knee. Mr. Esslinger did not fail, nor did he make any outery other than the words, "I'm shot" but Mr. DeMoss fainted as he perceived the effect of the shot upon his companion. Esslinger was helped back into the car, and was immediately taken to Dr. Rodemeyer's office here, where such first aid was possible was rendered him, after which he was rushed to the hospital in Hampton, where he was immediately placed under a surgeon's care, and it was thought that he had a chance to survive the wound. Late Friday evening he was conceded a good chance to recover, and was reported as resting easy, but unforeseen complications set in and about 5:00 Saturday morning, a blood clot on the brain proved fatal and he passed quietly away. Mr. Esslinger has lived most of his life in this community and his death came as a shock to his circle of friends here and elsewhere. His popularity was attested by the fact that his funeral, Monday, was attended by a host of friends.
