26-Year-Old Louisville Man Fatally Wounded A 26-year-old Louisville man
died early yesterday at General Hospital of a gunshot wound he received in
a shooting incident Wednesday night on Pope, just south of Frankfort.
(Avenue) Ronald J. Almond of 1637 Lucia, died at 2:37 a.m. of a gunshot
wound in the back, according to Detuty coroner Lloyd Roemele. Two other
men were injuried in the incident. Thomas V. Smith Jr., 23, of 817
Mulberry, is in critical condition at General with a gunshot wound in the
right side, and Donald Griffin, 33, of 1414 Rufer, is in satisfactory
condition at Methodist Hospital with facial cuts. Police were told that an
argument ensued after a man and woman approached the victims' parked car.
The man fired seven shots as the victims attempted to run away, witnesses
said. Griffin said the man chased and caught him, then beat him with the
pistol. Police charged Larry T. James, 19, of the 1800 block of Melwood,
with murder and malicious shooting and wounding and malicious striking and
wounding. Mrs. Mary Jean Almond, 22, Almond's estranged wife, of the 1100
block of Payne, was charged with murder and being an accessory to the
shooting and wounding charges. James and Mrs. Almond were arraigned in
Police Court yesterday. Their cases were continued to Saturday. They are
being held without bond. Almond was a carpenter's helper for Kentucky
Manufacturing Co. Besides his widow, he is survived by a son, Ronald J.

Father of Ronald Joseph Almond, Jr., son of Mrs. Anna Marie Kuprion
Almond. Funeral Mass Sat., Nov., 8, 1o a.m. at St. Brigid Church.
Interment in Calvary Cemetery. Visitors received at Barrett Funeral Home,
1230 Bardstown Rd., Fri., from noon till 9 p.m. I have not yet
looked up his father's obituary and I never did find his mother's obituary
at all. I have only looked in the Courier Journal, and not the Catholic
newspapers yet. On 4 Aug, just days ago, Louisville received a
cloudburst of rain - 4 and 1/2" to 6" of rain in only 75 minutes, so we
had flash flooding from inadequate drainage - and one of the places
heavily damaged was the main library, where I go to look up obits.
It was a tremendous storm, very sudden, and while we expected rain - not
quite so much rain. The storm settled over Louisville and just kept on
raining! Please let me know IF these photos come through and I will
begin to send MORE! Anna Marie is one of the 5 children of Albert
Joseph adn Agusta Ida Miller Kuprion; Albert Joseph is a son of Charles
Karl and Anna Marie Rogginger Kuprion. Gaye Johnson Hill
