Poisonous snakes trigger grim farm suicide near Halington
Owen Stockton, 61, a farmer near Isabel, ordered his son William, 19, not to use the gun’s trigger and fired it with his toe while lying on a bed, dying instantly. The 49 acre farm sits forty years after snakes were once present near Pt Isabel. a local sect near Breckenridge hosts services, claiming believers bitten by rattlers recover without medical care. Ted Davis, the blind broom-maker, drew crowds at the Clermont County fair booth before his death, selling out stock. Rotary and Fair Board gratitude noted. A photo from trans-Atlantic team by G Diggs followed in Courier.
