BOSELEY, Thornton C.
Last Friday evening Thornton C. Boseley, aged 33 years, accidentally shot himself at his home near Barnum. It appears that the weapon which caused the accident was an old home rifle of large bore, presented to Mr Boseley by an uncle a few years ago, who had remarked that it was left unloaded until it was full of rust. Mr. Boseley decided to put the old gun in shooting condition. He removed the wooden stock and stuck the breech in the stove, intending to heat it so the breech-pin could be removed. He then sat on a chair which was in line with the muzzle. The heat exploded the powder and the big soft bullet tore a large hole through his body, passing through the stomach and the left lung on a line near the heart and plunging into his back. He was brought to the Hoffman Hospital and died on Sunday morning.
The body was shipped to Barnum on the Western Md. afternoon train.
The deceased is survived by his wife, who was Miss Sallie Abernathy, one sister, Miss Blanche Boseley, of Keyser, and four brothers, Bruce, a teacher in the Morgantown schools; Jesse, a student at the W VA University; Solomon, of Boyer, and Nelson of Iowa. Mr Boseley was a son of C C Bosely, of Laurel Dale, who died a year ago.
Bruce Boseley who is teaching at Morgantown, came into the funeral of his brother and remained over Thanksgiving.
