Suicide of Charles Young.
Sometime between the hours of 11 o'clock Sunday night and 5 o'clock Monday
morning Charles YOUNG, a farmer lliving 3 miles north of Perry, tied a rope
around his neck, fastened the other end to the barn door and jumped from the hay
mow. His neck was broken. Young has been troubled about some financial matters
and it is supposed that continual brooding over this caused him to take his
life. Sunday evening he was in his usual spirits until about nine o'clock when
he went to the barn. His wife went down and talked with him, asking him to come
to the house, but he refused. Mrs. Young then returned to the house and lying
down, fell asleep. She did not awaken until 5 o'clock Monday morning. Looking
out she saw her husband hanging beside the barn. The coroner was notified and
held an inquest, the jury returning a verdict in accordance with the above
facts. Deceased leaves a wife and 5 small childen.
