Accidental shooting Fatal to Youth

Tragedy struck the A. L. Sevier, Jr. family at 5:30 p.m. Sunday when a gun being cleaned by 
Andrew Sevier III at his office accidentally discharged and struck his brother, Steve Sevier who had 
just walked into the room.

The bullet from the 30.06 rifle lodged in the young man's left side, killing him instantly, a sheriff's 
department spokesman said. The two brothers were alone when the accident occurred. Sevier was rushed 
to the Madison Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival by Coroner M. Webb around 6 p.m. Sunday.

Madison Parish Sheriff's Department ruled the incident an accidental shooting. Officers J. W. Wilson 
and Hersel Henson investigated the accident.

for Sevier Motor Company. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church.

Survivors include his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Sevier Jr., two brothers, Andrew and Billy Sevier, both 
of Tallulah; and one sister, Mrs. Roy Hunt of Odessa, Tex.

Burial was held in the Silver Cross Cemetery.

Pallbearers were Bobby Todd, Stuart Moberley Jr., Craig Clark, Marshall Sevier, Kirk Morley, Jr.,
