Death by own action of Ed Robbins and family tragedy
Ed Robbins 44, a farmer near Sullivan, bought arsenic to kill rats and killed himself Sunday after his wife’s death blanketing the family in grief. He left three children, Nelson 9 Malora 13 and Adan 18, and was a brother-in-law of John W Willis. The second incident reports Napoleon Snyder, 55, of Oak town, shooting his son in law Frank Moore 28 after a dispute, Moore critically wounded and alive five miles south of Carlisle. Moore had been with his wife who had left him for Snyder, and Snyder fired three shots, one striking Moore in the neck and potentially the lung.
