• Notes

  She was accidentally shot in the face with a ball pistol when her friend, Anna McMurphy, found a pistol and pointed it at her, supposing it wasn't loaded. The ball entered her skull about 1/2" below her eye and contacting her cheek bone exited. She wasn't seriously injured. Democratic Messenger, Burlington, KS, 23 Jul 1886, Page 3
