Cathlamet Gazette-August 16, 1895 INSTANTLY KILLED! Henry Kandoll Accidentally Shot and Killed by His Friend Deep River, Wash. Aug. 13-Last Sunday afternoon Henry Kandoll, aged 13 years, was shot and instantly killed by his friend, James Luis, aged 16 years. Jacob Kandoll and J. L. Luis own adjoining farms and the boys were fast friends and almost inseparable companions. At the time of the accident they were on their way home and James Luis carried a gun. He says they had fired several shots at a target and had sat down to rest by the roadside near the Slippen place. While in the act of rising to pursue their way, the gun was discharged and the contents lodged in Henry Randall's head, entering just back of the right ear. Death must have been instantaneous. When James saw his friend lying dead and bleeding, he was almost crazed and knew not what to do. He placed the body tenderly by the side of the road and watched by it till some one should pass who could carry the sad news to the poor boy's home. For three long hours he kept his weary vigil by the dead, and the first person who came was the one he most dreaded to see-Mrs. Kandall, the dead boy's mother. A mother's grief is sacred. We draw a veil over the scene when the distracted mother learned that her darling boy, who she had last seen in the flush of health, lay dead and cold. The remains were laid away in Fern Hill cemetery Wednesday afternoon. May he rest in peace.
