On June 19, 1919, Ina Edwards, 34, was cooking breakfast for her family when her husband, Thomas, 39, walked into the kitchen and shot her point plank in the chest. She died instantly. He then went to the neighbors and called his brother who lived nearby and told him what he had done. Then he calmly walked back to his wife's body, laid down next to her and shot himself. He did not die immediately but continued to quote Revelation until he bled to death on the floor.
The neighbors described Thomas as an unemployed iron worker who was fanatically religious and had fallen on hard times.
The couple had four children.
Thomas and Ina are buried in Section A, side by side.
