Cordon's lifeless body was found in his rooms at 8 o'clock Friday morning. In the bed was found an empty bottle that had contained chloroform. Kansas City papers have not indicated whether or not an inquest was held. Cordon's father, Arthur Cordon and his uncle, George Cordon, Sr., Bancroft, went to the city and brought the body to the home of his father Saturday night. He was to have been buried Sunday in the Ontario cemetery but a heavy rain compelled a postponement until Monday afternoon. Cordon was divorced by his wife at the September term of the district court at Seneca. She secured the restoration of her maiden name, Irene GABBERT. She is working in Kansas at this time.--Seneca Courier-Democrat. ==== KS-FOOTSTEPS Mailing List ==== File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ks/jackson/newspapers/deathofg115gnw.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/ksfiles/ File size: 1.6 Kb
