“The story: While their mother & father were at "The Pearl of Savoy" the oldest son Fred was watching the store on Lower Lutz Street, and watching Robert. Fred was showing a friend his fathers revolver, and as he was placing it away, the gun went off hitting Robert in the abdomen. Three doctors tried to save his life, but failed.
