Lady Known in Starke Shot by Son-in-Law at Jacksonville
Monday evening, while the Gore family had a pleasant reunion at the home of Claudius E. Gibson, 224 Florida avenue, Jacksonville, Gibson, under the influence of liquor, entered the room and immediately began to shoot at his wife, firing at her five times with a revolver. Mrs. Agnes Gore, his wife's mother, grappled with him to prevent further shooting, but one of the bullets struck her in the neck and she fell, mortally wounded. She was quickly hurried to St. Luke's hospital, but died just as she arrive there.
After a desperate struggle Gibson was subdued by A. G. David, a brother-in-law, and he held him until Policeman Herman Gordon arrived and arrested the frantic man. David was badly hurt from blows on the head by Gibson's pistol. It is said that Gibson had been with the party a short while before, enjoying himself, but for some reason, which will be told at the trial, had became angry with his wife and wanted to kill her.
Mrs. Gore, who thus came to an untimely death, was well known in Starke by many, as she frequently came here on a visit to R. S. Humphrey, her brother, and family. She was about 55 years old and a native South Carolina. At one time she owned a large tract of timber land in Bradford county, which she subsequently sold to her brother. She had also another brother in this section, Mr. C. M. Humphrey, of Brooklyn.. She is survived by nine children, five of whom live at Jacksonville.
On learning of his sister's death, Mr. R. S. Humphrey left for Jacksonville. He returned to Starke Wednesday to make arrangements for the funeral. The Marcus Conant Co., undertakers, of Jacksonville, had the remains prepared for sepulture, and the funeral cortege arrived in Starke on the 11 a. m. express. Funeral Director D. C. Jones took charge and the procession wended its way to the Baptist church, where Rev. Skipper, Adventist minister of Jacksonville, preached the funeral sermon. At the conclusion the remains were conveyed to Crosby cemetery for interment. A long procession of mourners and profuse floral gifts testified to the regard in which the deceased was held.
