CHARLES SLONE
1936
    
Charles Slone, age 48 of Winifred, this county died instantly
Saturday from the effects of a bullet from a small rifle which he
fired through his forehead.
  
Mr. Slone had been in ill health for some time suffering from a
nervous breakdown. He had always been known as one of the county’s
very best citizens.  His home life was ideal with no domestic
trouble to mar his happiness.  It is believed that he became
mentally unbalanced and in a fit of despondency fired the fatal
shot.
  
Mr. Slone was a member of one of Johnson County’s oldest and best
families.  His death was a shock to his family and neighbors.  He
was a cousin of W. H. Slone of Paintsville.
  
He is survived by a wife and three children.
