Her death was unusually tragic because the bullet was fired from a high powered army rifle by her father. Mr. Benard is one of the best marksmen in the state and has been a member of the Utah rifle team participating on several occasion in the national rifle shoot at Camp Peery, Ohio and he holds numerous trophies for individual shooting. He is employed by Utah County as a driver of their large road tractor and it has been customary for him to take hi family with him on the range when he practiced. The two oldest sons, Chester and Billy had usually tended target as he shot. Tuesday evening they did not accompany their father but all other members of the family were with him and Louise and Theodore were tending the target. They were stationed in a pit a distance of fifty yards away, which their father had prepared for them to retire to for safety. Theodore had marked the previous shot when Louise for some unknown reason left the pit. She was not observed by her parents nor did the others anticipate her actions. Even when she fell as she was shot her sister thought at first she was picking something from the ground. She went to her and gathered her into her arms when she discovered what had happened. She was rushed to the Payson hospital by her parents but death had been instantaneous according to the report of Dr. A. I Curtis, the bullet piercing her heart as it passed through the body. Louise was born at Benjamin on September 8, 1922 but has lived most of her life in Payson. She was .promoted to the Fourth grade at the Peteetneet school and was a member of the Fourth ward Primary and Sunday School.
