Read More	The Kansan – Thursday, August 11, 1960 Young Farmer Meets Untimely Death Norman Giroux, a young industrious and successful farmer, living about two miles west of Concordia, died Saturday morning about 11:30 o'clock, at St. Joseph's hospital as a result of a gunshot wound in the forehead, which had been inflicted earlier that morning, at his home. Norman, who farmed with his father-in-law, V.L. Huber, had helped Mr. Huber move some irrigation pipe in a corn field, near the Huber farm home about 5:30 Friday afternoon and later had accompanied Mr. Huber to a feed grinding shed, but since the hour was late they planned to so the grinding Saturday morning, so Norman decided to attend the Thrill Show at the Concordia Fairgrounds. Returning home about midnight he and Mrs. Giroux, who had not yet retired, sat in the living room and had some cold drinks. The young farmer went to the kitchen to replenish his supply of soft drinks and in closing the refrigerator door evidently the 22 automatic rifle which had been set upright in a corner net to the refrigerator, was knocked over by the jar and was discharged. The four year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Giroux, sleeping the room adjoining the kitchen was awakened by the shot and he and Mr. Giroux rushed into the kitchen to find the wounded man, who was rushed at once to the hospital. Mr. Giroux died without having regained consciousness. Relatives and close friends of the Giroux family scoff at the thought that the wound might have been self-inflicted, for he enjoyed a very contented home life, was very fond of his family, and was in no financial difficulty. To further explain the mishap, it is said that the rifle had a very sensitive trigger pull and had been accidentally discharged at other times. Norman E. Giroux was born August 14, 1935 at Aurora, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward J. Giroux. He was 24 years old. His parents moved to Concordia when Norman was four years old and he and his parents have lived in or near Concordia since that time. He was married to Marilyn Huber, December 28, 1954 in Concordia. He is survived by his wife and three children, Kevin, Kimberly and Kari; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Giroux; two brothers, Francis of Topeka and Gerald Lee of Concordia; his grandfather, W. L. Giroux, Concordia and his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Marcotte, Albany, Oregon. Funeral services were held on Tuesday morning at the Catholic church. Pallbearers were Frank Peltier, John Peltier, William Peltier, Charles Peltier, Leo Peltier, and Ray Peltier. Burial was in the Catholic cemetery.
