In the book History of Boone County, Missouri, which you can find on Google, it states:
On Tuesday morning, April 14, 1843, Raney LaForce, a citizen of the county was accidentally shot & killed by Phelix Callaham. They were hunting wild turkeys together 8 or 10 miles northeast of Columbia; & having separated in the chase of a flock, Callaham, thinking he saw game in a thicket before him, discharged his rifle at them. Unfortunately, LaForce was upon the other side of the thicket immediately in the direction of Callaham's aim. At the discharge of the gun LaForce fell & died in a few minutes - the ball having entered his chest. LaForce was a man of family.
