Death of Coneville Man Attributed to Self-inflicted Wound
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon from the Howard Funeral Home in Shinglehouse for Thomas Jefferson Pepperman, 81, of Coneville, whose death Friday morning was attributed by the Potter County coroner's office to a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
John Dec, deputy coroner, who investigated, said Mr. Pepperman had been in ill health for several years and indicated that despondency had probably led him to take his own life.
Mr. Dec said Mr. Pepperman's son, Lloyd ("Si", was in the barn milking shortly after 8:00 o'clock when he heard the dog making a commotion. Not particularly concerned over the animal's behavior, he paid no attention and finished the chores before going to the house, occupied by his father, about 9:00 o'clock when he discovered the body.
Death was instantaneous, the deputy coroner said, when the slug from a .22 calibre rifle entered the brain. A yardstick was found on the floor with the rifle near the body.
Born Dec. 14. 1878, at Salladas-burg, Mr. Pepperman had been a resident of Coneville 'since the age of 14. He was a retired gas and oil field worker. Mrs. Pepperman, the former Frankie Sprigg, to whom he married in 1902, died in 1957.
Surviving are three daughters,
Mrs. Laitue Burdick, Honesdale;
Mrs. Harold Weaver, Genesee, and
Mrs. Lila Petrosewitz, Coudersport;
four sons,
- Llewellyn and Lloyd, Coudersport;
- Leonard. Eldred. and
- Lester, Galeton:
18 grandchildren: nine great-grandchildren, and
- one brother, Monte of Greenwood, N. Y.
The Rev. Eldon VanDerhoof, pastor of the Hickox Union Church, officiated at funeral services.
Burial was in Rathbun Cemetery at Coneville.
