Thomas. R.L. was trying out the little Meeks boy’s 22 target, that his father had given him and in some way the little Meeks girl ran in front of R.L. and he shot her through the breast. She ran to the door and told her mother they had killed her. She instantly fell dead upon the floor. The body was laid to rest in the Perrin cemetery. She was a lovable child and all who knew her loved her.
