Police are investigating a murder-suicide that took place Sunday afternoon in Corydon that left a man and woman dead.
During the afternoon hours on Sunday, Aug. 8 the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department received a domestic violence call from an apartment on Wilson Street in Corydon.
The caller reported hearing what sounded like fighting and a possible gunshot from within the apartment.
Both the Corydon Police Department and Harrison County Sheriff’s Department immediately responded to the scene.
Upon arrival and entry into the apartment, officers located the deceased body of one female adult and one male adult with visible gunshot wounds.
The male was identified as Steven Ray Cissell, 48.
The female was identified as Jessica Jurine Meyer, 46.
Preliminary autopsy findings revealed that the female was suffered a medium-range gunshot wound to the head while the male suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
The investigation remains active and all evidence is being thoroughly evaluated, pending the final autopsy report.
According to Sheriff Nick Smith, “It is important to note that this is a tragic moment for both families and the above circumstances are beyond the control of either. Please remain respectful to both families during their time of loss by offering them your prayers, kindness, and sympathy.”
Lt. Gov. Crouch, ISDA announce 2021 Indiana Agriculture photo contest winners
Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and the Indiana State Department of Agriculture announced the winners of the 2021 Indiana Agriculture photo contest last week, including winners from Sellersburg, Seymour, and Loogootee.
The winning photographs will be displayed in the lieutenant governor’s Family of Business office in Indianapolis.
“As I travel across our state I am always awestruck by the beauty of our state’s agricultural landscape from round barns to wildlife and so much more,” Crouch said. “These photos are a wonderful addition to my Business office’s walls and serve as a wonderful reminder of the strength and beauty of Indiana agriculture.”
The winning photos were chosen from hundreds of entries in the following four categories: Agritourism, Conservation, Faces of Agriculture, and On the Farm. Two winners were selected from each category, along with two winners overall.
To be considered, the photo had to be taken in the state by an Indiana resident. The photos were evaluated by a panel of independent judges based on creativity, composition, and category representation.
“I am so grateful for each of the photographers who submitted their photos in this year’s contest,” said Bruce Kettler, director of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture. “Each of the submissions truly captured the essence of rural life and the important role agriculture plays in our state. Thank you for using your talent to showcase Indiana’s agriculture industry.”
The following list includes the photo contest winners for 2021:

Charlotte Jean (Faxon) Thompson, 88, Salem
Charlotte Jean (Faxon) Thompson, 88, passed away peacefully in her home in rural Salem, Indiana surrounded by her family.
Born in Campbellsville, Kentucky to Rodney James Faxon and Ruby Jewell (Holt) Faxon, Charlotte lived in many places, but only one was called home; the homestead she built with Benjamin Franklin (Frank) Thompson (1930-1986) in Salem.
The two married on Valentine’s Day in 1948 and went on to
raise four children. When they moved to Salem, Indiana in the early 70’s, Charlotte turned in her dancing shoes for work boots, and they built their home board by board.
The house and the land upon which it sits became a refuge for the Thompson family and all whom they called friends. After Frank’s passing, Charlotte naturally became the familial
matriarch, an absolute gem to all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
As a Jefferson Township Trustee, Charlotte provided assistance to
community members in need.
She was also a member of the First Baptist Church in Salem. After retiring from Jean’s Extrusions, Charlotte converted Frank’s workshop into a master suite, transforming the home
into the Wildwood Acres Inn Bed & Breakfast.
She was a jovial and accommodating hostess, and even learned some tips from other hosts when traveling to Great Britain–a lifelong dream she never believed would materialize until her granddaughter suggested they travel together there. While in England, the two visited Shakespeare’s world-famous Globe Theatre for a play, one of Charlotte’s favorite pastimes, as she
was a season ticket holder at the Derby Dinner Playhouse in Clarksville, Indiana.
Charlotte had a flair for entertaining and gaming, often
challenging her grandchildren to some cut-throat Scrabble games, and even teaching them Euchre in their younger years. She, very simply, found her joy in watching the joy of her family together.
Charlotte is survived by her children James L. (Marsha) Thompson, Rodney B (LeeAnn) Thompson, Cina A. (Chuck) Bogdas; her grandchildren Marnie (Jamie) Bennett, Christopher (Carrie) Thompson, Rachel Thompson, Jessica (Jeremy) DeWitt, Charlene Monnier, and Benjamin Franklin Thompson; and
ten great-grandchildren.
Visitation will be held on Wednesday, August 11th at 4:00 pm at Dawalt Funeral Home in Salem, Indiana.
Graveside services will be held in Springfield, Illinois.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Jefferson Township Volunteer Fire Department.
