ORA AXSOM SHOT AND KILLED AT STRATTON, NEBRASKA
Coroner's Jury Renders Verdict of Suicide, But Relatives Think He Was Murdered
Ora Axsom a resident of this section for the past fifteen years, was seriously shot and killed early Monday morning at Stratton, Nebraska.
The body of the slain man was in the basement of a barber shop where a card game had been in progress during Sunday night.
It has been possible for Yuma people to obtain only very meager reports of the tragedy. The only communication received directly was the statement from Stratton that Ora Axsom had shot himself to death and an inquest would be held. But no word in Yuma has been officially received as to the result of that inquest. It was learned from Stratton that the coroner's jury reached a verdict of suicide. But friends who have seen the body reject the idea of a self-inflicted wound. They point to the fact that the deceased's head showed no sign of ? or powder marks. They insist that if the man had held the gun to his head and fired, the explosion would have left some marks. They insist that the man would have been compelled to hold his hand in a very awkward position to fire the shot. It was reported that the coroner's jury was over 18 hours reaching a verdict with no indications that Axsom met his death by other than his own hands. A son is expected to go to Stratton today and further investigate the shooting and place the case in the hands of the district attorney.
His wife and seven children, six sons and one girl, besides his mother and other relatives survive him. During the past several months Mrs. Axsom and the youngest children have been residing in Greeley, this state, the children attending school in that city. The older boys have been attending to the farm work while their parents were away. One of the sons went to Greeley as soon as he heard of the tragedy and brought Mrs. Axsom and the young children back to Yuma.
The funeral was held from the Yuma Methodist Church Wednesday afternoon, August 27, Rev. William I. Jones officiating and the interment was at the Yuma Cemetery.

MRS. LUCINDA BRYANT
Lucinda Stewart was born in Wheeling, Virginia, September 11th, 1816, and departed this life at the residence of her nephew, Wm. C. Shumard, in this city, December 26th 1903. She moved with her sister, Mrs. Susan Shumard to Harrison county, Missouri in 1856, and for several years made her home with her sister and brother, Elder E. Stewart, now of Iowa. She was united in marriage with Stephen Bryant in 1859. Mr. Bryant died a few years after his marriage, after which Mrs. Bryant made her home with the family of the late John S. Allen up to about fifteen years ago, when she went to live with her nephew, Wm. C. Shumard, with whom she ever after resided. Mr. and Mrs. Shumard were at all times devoted to her welfare and made her declining years peaceful and happy. The funeral was held Sunday, Dec. 27th, from the Shumard residence, conducted by Mr. Oren Orahood, pastor of the Christian Church, after which burial occured at the Morris cemetery.
Early in life Mrs. Bryant became a member of the Christian church and was a consistant Christian the balance of her life. Mrs. Bryant was retiring in disposition and kindly to all. Those who knew her most intimately loved her best. She was sick but a few days and seemed to suffer but little. From the first day of her sickness her recovery, owing to her extreme age, was not expected. Her long life is now closed on earth and she will doubtless meet the reward that the righteous may expect. Peace to her memory.

Really could use some help! I do not know my grandmother's maiden name. Here is what I know: Her mother is Mary Axsom born Nov. 19,1908 in Indiana. She was married several times, last to Palmer Fuller. Wilma Maxene went by her middle name,Maxene. She might of married a Thompson at a young age before marrying my grandpa, William Clarence Oliver Jr. Maxene and "Bill" lived in Peoria, Il area and had 3 children. She was mentally unstable and did not raise her children. She is still living in IN. She becomes upset when asked about who her father was, so we can't find out that way. My mother remembers a man named Depo/Defo Kline who must have been like a father to Maxene because she had a nervous breakdown when he passed away. He stayed with Maxene and Bill Oliver in IL. during his battle with cancer abt. 1955. Wilma Maxene was born May 15, 1928/1929. I found info on an "Axsom" website that incorrectly lists Maxene as daughter of Palmer Fuller. My mother knows this is not true. Mary Axsom married Palmer much later and he was probably 8yrs. younger than she. Can anyone help sort out this mess? I would like to be able to tell my mother who her grandfather was.
