- The following article appeared in the Zanesville Times Recorder on 5 Mar 1967:
MAN TREATED HERE AFTER BEING SHOT
Earl Smithberger, about 35, of Summerfield Route 1,
received treatment at Good Samaritan hospital last night
for what was reported to be a gunshot wound in his right
side.
It was first believed that Smithberger has been hit by a
single bullet but it was understood that treatment revealed
a number of pellets had lodged in his side.
The Monroe County sheriff?s office said it received a re-
port the shooting occurred in a tavern but the Noble County
sheriff?s office, which apparently has jurisdiction in the case,
said it had nothing to report.
Smithberger was brought here in a Brubach ambulance
from Summerfield. The attendant reported he picked up
the wounded man at his home after being called by the
father, Raymond Smithberger.
Smithberger was admitted to the hospital at 7:45 p.m.
and was still in surgery last night.
