• Obituary, 12 Apr 1887. ⁹⁴⁷⁸ On last Monday morning at about ten o'clock Frank P. Gould shot
and instantly killed his wife, Mrs. Ella M. Gould, at the
residence of her mother, Mrs. A. Rulison, in this city. As
many of our readers know, Gould and his wife separated several
weeks ago at Kansas City, Mrs. Gould, accompanied by her three
young children, coming to Burlingame. A week or two after Mrs.
Gould's arrival in this city her husband also came here and on
Monday morning he called to see his wife at the residence of
her mother with a view, it is thought, of bringing about a
reconciliation, between them. The shooting occurred at about
ten o'clock in the forenoon in the dining room at Mrs.
Rulison's home. The weapon used was an American bulldog
revolver of thirty eight caliber,. Two shots were fired,
striking the unfortunate victim in the left side, one of the
balls passing through the heart from which death occurred
instantly. After the shooting Gould went to the Shepart House,
entering the hotel office with the revolver still in his hand.
Mr. Collins, Captain Delemater, W. D. Canfield and P. A. Sutton
were in the office, to whom Gould remarked that he had "killed
his wife." Mr. Delamater at once took possession of the
revolver and Gould was placed under arrest. He made no effort
to escape and offered no resistance when arrested. His
preliminary examination took place before Justice Chambers and
he was committed to jail, the officers conveying him to Lyndon
Monday afternoon. The funeral of Mrs. Gould took place
yesterday afternoon from the Methodist Church, the remains
being buried in the Burlingame Cemetery. The funeral services
were conducted by A. W. Lawrence, who delivered a most
impressive sermon to a large congreation of sympathizing
friends.
Mrs. Gould was twenty four years old and was married to Frank
Gould nine years ago. She leaves three little children, their
names and ages being as follows; Millie, aged seven years,
Earl, aged five and Freddie three years. An aged mother and
several brothers and sisters are also left to mourn the death
of Mrs. Gould and to them, and the three innocent children, the
sincere sympathy of our citizens will be freely given. Our
community is greatly shocked in consequence of this very sad
event. Nothing of this character has ever before occurred in
Burlingame and to those of our citizens who have for years been
intimately acquainted with Frank Goud this terrible act of his
seems like a dream. it will not be denied that he dearly loved
his wife and this three bright little children and this fact
makes it all the more difficult to understand how he could have
committed such a horrible crime. May God have mercy on him!
