        He said that Howard Curtis admitted shooting his wife and told him to call police, according to a police report.

        When officers arrived, they found the couple wounded in the basement. Both had gunshot wounds to the head, homicide detective Patricia Dailey said.

        Mrs. Curtis, 54, died at 8:16 a.m. at Ohio State University Medical Center. Mr. Curtis, 58, died at 10:14 a.m. at Riverside Methodist Hospital.

Dillon, Bernard C. Dillon

Bauer-Turner Obituaries, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, March 20, 2008

Bernard C. Dillon, 80, died Wednesday, March 19, 2008, at the Woodsfield Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.

Bernard, the only child of Lawrence and Edna Dillon, was a lifelong resident of Woodsfield, having been born at 415 South Main Street, where he lived until November, 2004, when he sustained injuries from a fall that made it necessary for him to leave his home.

Bernard was a graduate of Woodsfield High School, class of 1945, and of the Elliott Business School in Wheeling, West Virginia. After a two-year tour of duty with the U.S. Army, Bernard joined his father in the Dillon Garage and Used Car Business. He continued to operate Dillon Garage until his retirement in 1990. It was an appropriate career for Bernard because he really liked cars, never tiring of discussing the relative merits and speed of all kinds of vehicles. Some Woodsfield residents still refer to him as "Speed," a nickname he earned in high school because of his well-known practice of seeing what his car of the moment would do negotiating the hills and curves of Monroe County.

Edna and Lawrence Dillon were lifelong friends of JVA and Lucille Traylor. For nearly two decades after Lucille's death, Bernard was a faithful friend to Emma Jordan, Lucille's sister, graciously chauffeuring her - at appropriately sedate speeds - to church, appointments, and errands.

As a lifelong resident of Woodsfield, Bernard is remembered by many in Monroe County, especially by Barbara Traylor Young, whom he looked upon as a sister.

Bernard was a long-time member of Goudy Church of Christ. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the church in care of Gilbert Forshey, 44270 Six Point Road, Woodsfield, Ohio, 43793.

A memorial service with Paul Eddy officiating will be held Thursday, April 10, at the Bauer and Turner Funeral Home at 1:00 pm, with a calling hour from 12:00 to 1:00.
