SHOT HIMSELF

FRANK HEATH A SUICIDE – SHOT HIMSELF IN THE HEAD AND DIED INSTANTLY – HAD BEEN 
SICK FOR SEVERAL WEEKS – SUPPOSED CAUSE WAS ILL HEALTH

TAKES HIS OWN LIFE.

Frank Health shot and killed himself today, June 26, at his home one and a half 
miles east of Towanda. The weapon used was a shot-gun. While the family was at 
dinner he made the excuse that he was not hungry, went out to a corn crib and 
the gun’s report soon made known the tragedy.

Mr. Heath was about thirty years old and leaves a wife and three children. He 
has been sick and despondent for many weeks. He was in a Wichita hospital for a 
few days, being treated for a spinal trouble and was allowed to return home 
yesterday because the physicians believed he would become a raving maniac if 
kept there longer.

His illness was the primary cause of his self-destruction but it is believed 
that financial difficulties also added to the load which he found unbearable.

Frank Heath was an honest, hard working man.
