I believe that it is actually the obit of Eston O. Milby and have received confirmation of this from the son of an individual who was with Eston when he was shot. James Henry Milby, 22, met a tragic death late Tuesday afternoon when a shot gun he had been hunting with accidentally discharged tearing the right side of his face away, killing him instantly. Milby with some friends were hunting squirrels and had stopped to roll a cigarette, leaning the 12 gauge shot gun against his body, it is thought he left the hammer back. The accident occurred near Allendale. The victim was a son of the late Elec Milby. Obituaries of Green Co. Ky.
