John P. Nidezer
Arizona Silver Belt
October 17, 1891

John P. Nidezer, a miner, in a fit of despondency caused by 
sickness, suicided last Sunday in a room adjoining S. Van 
Wagmen's store.  An attendant left him at 9 o'clock in the 
morning promising to return at 3 o'clock in the afternoon at 
which hour he was found dead with a bullet hole in his forehead, 
his arms crossed over his breast and a 28 calibre revolver in 
his right hand.  The body was still warm.  Acting Coroner 
George C. Strong held an inquest over the body and the jury 
rendered a verdict in accordance with the evidence. The funeral 
took place from the M.E. Church on Monday afternoon and was 
attended by many of the deceased's acquaintances.  He had been 
a resident of Globe only a short time and was in the employ 
of the Old Dominoin Copper Co. He was known to some of the old 
timers, as he had prospected in this section years ago.
