Read More	NO HEADSTONE ON THIS GRAVE Published in The Rochester Sentinel Friday, September 6, 1895 Monday evening, Lee [JEWELL], the little nine year old son of "Cap" JEWELL, was accidently shot through the left thigh with a shot gun, on the east bank of Lake Manitou. He was immediately brought to the office of Drs. SHAFER & RANNELLS, who dressed the wound with a view to saving the limb if possible. The particulars are hard to get because the accident was so sudden that it is not known positively how it occurred. The facts, however, are about as follows: Delbert SEARCH, who lives on the CONDON place, had been out on the lake shooting snipe and on coming in the party of boys, of whom the victim was one, ran down and clambered into the boat to see the game. The gun was lying across the stern of the boat with a coat thrown over it. Mr. Search started to pick up the gun to place it out of the way of the boys, who were all neighbors' children, and at the same time one of the little fellows, anxious to assist unloading the boat, picked up the coat which caught on the trigger of the gun, the charge going through Lee Jewell's thigh at short range, breaking the bone and mangling the tender flesh in a frightful manner. The shock to the little fellow was too much for physician endurance and he died Wednesday morning, the funeral being held yesterday afternoon. Mr. Search is much dejected over the occurrence and severely blames himself for allowing the boys to get into the boat, but eye witnesses think no blame should attach to him, as it was purely accidental. It is a sad case, however, and the parents have the sympathy of all in this sad misfortune. SOURCE: Fulton County Indiana Obits/Biogs - 1891-1895 by Wendell C. Tombaugh
