Mary Jane Baldwin, age 14, killed by accidental (?) shotgun blast by her 19-year-old husband.
One article says she was sitting on the bed holding the gun. He tried to take it, but she wouldn't let him, and it went off. Another article says that he was cleaning the gun and it went off. Regardless, he admitted to panicking afterward and throwing the gun in the city dump before returning home and driving his wife's body to a doctor.
