I was walking around the Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery this morning and I came upon a grave marker of a couple with only one death date. So I looked it up.
On June 23, 1921, a cousin who also worked as a hired hand for Virginia and Robert Mills got into a quarrel over the size of a wood pile. He shot both of them in the back and then killed himself. "[A] neighbor stopped by the house and discovered the grisly scene and rescued the Mills' 2-year-old son and 4-month-old daughter."
I love cemeteries!
