Mountain Echo, Yellville, AR Thursday, 18 May 1950, pg 1 Former Yellvile [sic] Couple Killed in Double Tragedy The Springfield [MO] Daily News of Tuesday carried the following dispatch from Sarcoxie [MO], under a May 15 dateline: Dr. D. D. DOUGLAS, Jasper county coroner, today termed the deaths of a 54-year-old Sarcoxie grocery store owner and his wife as "murder by stabbing and suicide by shotgun." DOUGLAS' verdict came after the bodies of J. W. FOLLIS and his 50-year-old wife of only a few months, Eva, were found about 11 a.m. today in their store here on Highway 166. According to DOUGLAS, FOLLIS apparently stabbed his wife fatally about 5 a.m. today and then shot himself in the head about four hours later. Mrs. FOLLIS was found in the bed in living quarters in back of the store with three stab wounds in her left chest. FOLLIS was on the floor, a shotgun wound in his right temple. Coroner DOUGLAS said the weapon used to kill Mrs. FOLLIS was a hunting knife with a six-inch blade found -- wiped clean -- in the living quarters. FOLLIS used a .12 gauge single shot shotgun to kill himself, the coroner said. Neighbors reported they heard a commotion at the FOLLIS store about 5 a.m. today. They didn't investigate, even though cries of help were heard, the coroner said. Later, however, they saw FOLLIS get up, open the store, wait on customers, and go out for a short time in his car. The coroner said FOLLIS left a note directing his daughter by a previous marriage, Mrs. Margaret ADAMS, of Sarcoxie, to notify Mrs. FOLLIS' eight children by a previous marriage of the tragedy. The eight children live in the Yellville, AR, community. One of Mrs. FOLLIS' daughters, 13-year-old Shirley HUDDLESTON, and a small brother had lived with the FOLLISes at the store until they went to Arkansas recently to visit relatives. The FOLLISes came here only three months ago from Yellville. Their bodies are at the Jackson & Son funeral home. ___________________________________ Mr. FOLLIS and Mrs. Eva HUDDLESTON were married in Yellville on Feb. 11, 1950, moving immediately thereafter to Sarcoxie, where the killing and suicide occurred. The body of Mrs. FOLLIS was brought to Yellville Monday night and lay in state at the Yellville Funeral Home, pending completion of funeral arrangements. Funeral services will be conducted at 2:00 o'clock this Thursday afternoon in the Yellville Methodist Church by the pastor Rev. P. J. HOLIFIELD, and burial will be in the Yellville cemetery, under direction of the Yellville Funeral Home. Mrs. FOLLIS is survived by six sons, Gene HUDDLESTON of the U.S. Army, stationed at Fort Worth, TX; Glenn of Tulsa, OK; Ralph, Jr., with the U.S. Army in Germany; Layne of the U.S. Army at Albuquerque, NM; Charles and Jimmy of Yellville; three daughters, Mrs. Mabel WORLEIN of Hutchinson, KS; Mrs. Sarah BRUSSO of Detroit, MI, and Shirley of Yellville.
