Birth date: 1921
text of obituary:
An accidental gunshot wound slightly above the right groin on Thursday night, June 25, claimed the life of Ernest Stucky, 15 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ben B. Stucky, who reside four miles east of Monroe, Wash.
Ernest would have been a junior in the Sultan high school next fall. He had been working all day, digging up old railway ties for building a private road from the main highway to his parents' home.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Ernest and his father, who was working in the field, halted their labors for a brief rest at the ranch house. When they left the house to resume work the father instructed him to bring the cows in from pasture when he quit work for the day.
About 5:30 in the evening, according to the report of the tragedy, the boy's parents became worried when he failed to return to the house. They could see the cattle still in pasture, and Mrs. Stucky herded them to the barn.
