Hanover Man Kills Wife and Child Then Takes Life

In Hanover a 55 year old man, Cleveland H. Bish, shot his wife Goldie Bish and their 14 year old daughter Ruth before killing himself with a hunting knife. Ruth and Goldie were taken to Hanover General Hospital with severe injuries. Ruth’s wound included a two inch cut above the eye. Neighbors reported hearing screams around 1:15 am Thursday after a night of cards and a departure by their son James for work. The coroner confirmed the suicide, with a seven inch blade driven into Bish’s ribs. The family, long troubled by Bish’s illness and draft worries, suffered a tragic end at their home on 110 McAllister Street. Interment followed at Mt. Olivet Cemetery after private funeral services.
