FRANCES CAREY IS FOUND DEAD ON MOUNTAIN

Mrs. Douglas (Frances) Carey who had been reported missing Friday evening was found Saturday morning at about 8 o'clock on Burdoin Mountain about ½ mile east of the turnoff to the Art Goree place the victim of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Death had apparently been between 5 and 8 p.m. according to Moz Burles, deputy county coroner.
Mrs. Carey left a note stating she was unable to continue bearing the pain of her affliction so was taking this means to end it.
Although a search had been made in that general area, she was discovered by accident by Mrs. Curt Stebbins while returning the little Clark girl to her home. Recognizing the car, she called her husband from the Clark's who notified the State Patrol and Sheriff's office. Tony Mosbrucker, Stebbins and Burles then went out and found the body about 25 feet from the car in a little glade. Patrolman Dick Carr and Deputy Sheriff Simpson also assisted in the investigation.
Mrs. Carey had been caring for Mrs. Minnie Johnson during the evenings.
Funeral services will be held Friday, July 22 at 11 a.m. at the Gardner Funeral Chapel with Pastor William S. Jensen officiating.
