Gerald D. Tice
Gerald D. Tice, 38, former manager of Commonwealth Loan Co. here, died in Bethesda hospital, Zanesville, Sunday night as a result of a bullet wound, apparently self-inflicted. Dr. Louis Berman, acting Muskingum county coroner, ruled the death a suicide. Mr. Tice, who had been unemployed for a short time, was found shot above the right ear in the bathroom of his Zanesville home about 5:15 p.m. after members of his family heard a thud. A son, Gene, 16, found his father lying in the bathtub with a .22 caliber rifle across his legs, it was reported. Sheriff’s deputies said Mr. Tice’s wife, Betty, Gene, and a daughter were watching a football game on television when the shooting occurred. Gene ran to the home of a neighbor, Gerald Bowlby, who notified the sheriff’s office and called for an ambulance. The deputy who investigated said no notes were found. Mr. Tice reportedly had been acting normal and the family said he had not made any threats against his life, the deputy reported. Prior to his transfer to the Zanesville office in 1951, Mr. Tice had been manager of the Commonwealth Loan Co. here five years. He was born Aug. 28, 1923, at Birds Run, a son of David and Hulda Martin Tice. He was a member of the Immanuel United Church of Christ, the Elks lodge and the Moose lodge. Surviving besides his widow, the former Betty Retzler, son, daughter and parents, who live at Newcomerstown, are two brothers, William Tice of Newcomerstown and Marian Tice of Rhode Island; three sisters, Mrs. Arthur Vierheller and Mrs. Fred Greathouse, both of Newcomerstown, and Mrs. Lewis Tish of Canton.
