SLAIN WOMAN TO BE BURIED HERE SUNDAY
The body of Mary Kilby, daughter of Joséph Willis, colored, shot and killed late Thursday night at Hagerstown Maryland by her husband John Kilby, who then killed himself, will be brought to Winchester and taken to the cemetery for burial. Kilby’s burial disposition is unknown. Grubbs tied to the Kilby marriage to a Philadelphia barber in Hagerstown, and a peace bond had been issued. A letter found in Kilby’s pocket suggests jealousy and threats, dated Wednesday reporting nearly killing her on Tuesday night.
