Thursday, 10 March 1955A 31-year-old Lee county farmer was found shot fatally early Sunday morning and his mother-in-law appeared in court here Monday for a hearing in connection with the fatal shooting, but the hearing was postponed until Saturday before County Judge Cecil Kincaid.
Sheriff Hampton Palmer pieced together this story of the shooting as told by the victims wife, Mrs. Helen Sizemore Vanderpool, and her foster mother, Mrs. Brandenburg.
Vanderpool returned home about midnight from a trip to Ohio, went to the Brandenburg home where his wife was spending the night and announced "I'm a-gonna do what I came here to do."
Vanderpool, who his wife said had apparently been drinking, then drew a .38-caliber pistol from his pocket and began firing at Mrs. Brandenburg.
His mother-in-law took refuge in a closet momentarily, then came out wit a .38-caliber pistol in her hand and fired three shots at Vanderpool, who turned and ran out the door.
Mrs. Brandenburg said she thought at least one of her bullets hit Vanderpool, but she wasn't sure.
Mrs. Brandenburg and her husband, Miles, and Mrs. Vanderpool then took the three Vanderpool children and left the house for the rest of the night.
Early Sunday morning members of the family found Vanderpool's body lying about 400 yards from the house where the battle occurred.
At an inquest held Sunday by Coroner John Lyons, he ruled that Vanderpool died of bullet wounds fired by a person or persons unknown.
Luther G. Newnam of the Congleton Brothers Funeral Home said Vanderpool died of a bullet wound in the left chest, the bullet emerging from his back. Another bullet struck him at the rear of the left knee and did not come out, Newnam said.
Vanderpool is survived by his wife, a son, Amos Vanderpool; two daughters, Bessie Carol and Betty Jean Vanderpool; his mother, Mrs. Kansas Couch; a brother, Dallas Vanderpool, Beattyville; a sister, Mrs. Pauline Francis, Manchester, Ohio; four half brothers, Thomas L. Williams, Hawaii; Charles, Clenn and Russell Couch, Beattyville; paternal grandfather, Elbert Vanderpool, and his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Eliza J. Williams, Beattyville.
Funeral services were conducted at the Congleton Bros. Funeral Home at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday by the Rev. Joe A. Puckett, Jr. Burial was in Riverview Cemetery here with Congleton Bros. Funeral Home in charge of the arrangements.
