Greensboro, Dec. 27—Mrs. Curlee Brady, wife of M.L. Brady of Revolution, died at Wesley Long hospital in this city at 5 o’clock Monday afternoon from the effects of a pistol shot wound, said to have been accidentally inflicted by her husband. The shooting took place between 1 and 2 o’clock in the afternoon when Brady was handling the weapon and it was accidentally discharged.
The young woman, aged 24 years, her husband and their three small children were in the home when the accident occurred that made their Christmas a tragedy. The Bradys are well known at Revolution where they have lived since 1911, or for 11 years, and friends and neighbors sympathized with them in their Christmas day tragedy.
Mr. Brady had been out on a vacant lot near his home engaged in target practice. Returning to the house, he began to clean the revolver when it was discharged. Mrs. Brady was seated a few feet away in a chair and the ball struck her full in the left side of the abdomen. She was immediately carried to the hospital where the best surgical aid available was used in an effort to prevent death, but after a three-hour fight, the young woman died.
