Without regaining consciousness, and thirty-six hours after the double shooting of his wife and himself, Frank Koury died at the Norwich Memorial Hospital [Chenango Co., NY] Tuesday morning. Surgeons at the hospital conceded his death to be a matter of a few hours from the beginning, but the man's tenacious hold on life did not weaken perceptibly until the early hours of Tuesday morning. Koury was past 44 years of age. Besides the wife whose life he attempted to take and their three children, Ernest, Loreta, and Irene, he has three brothers, two of whom reside in his native town of Syria and one, Charles Koury, of Binghamton. A nephew, Sadie Koury of Oneonta, also survives. Koury's brother believes that, inflamed with drink, his brother was temporarily demented when he attempted the double killing. "He would never have done it, for the children if for nothing else, if he had not been drunk,. He didn't know what he was doing," the man said....The body was removed to the home at No. 28 Gold street, where funeral services will be held at 9:30 o'clock on Thursday morning and from Emmanuel Episcopal church at 10:30 o'clock, Rev.
