About Clyde Gish

Clyde and two of the older brothers went hunting....... he was carrying a gun and slipped off a felled tree and the gun discharged down the hill from the home place........ one of them ran home to get Gramma..... and she went back with them and helped carry him out. He was dead of course. I saw a picture of him laying in his coffin and I think that was the only picture they had of him. (Jeanne Bowen)



Elmer died in a hunting accident at the age of 13. He fell from a log and shot himself.
