Jackie - according to articles in newspapers Andrew shot Mertile first, then he shot himself. Tragic incident. I don't subscribe to newspapers.com, so I cannot publish these articles.

Thanks for the assist.  I don't subscribe either and the listing posted with link only invited to me to take a trial membership, no chance to view details.  Certainly a tragedy and probably why they weren't buried together. 

According to FAG she was his 2nd wife, if that information is correct then this might be his first wife, since they are buried together in Riverside cemetery:
