FORMER BEAVERTON MAN ENDS LIFE

   The body of Wellington N. French, 34, of Sanford, was found early Sunday 
morning by a neighbor in a field near his home. Coroner A. H. Bradley, of 
Midland, said that French had ended his own life by firing a charge from a 20-
gauge shotgun into his head Sunday morning about 3:40 o'clock. Bradley, who 
ruled death a suicide and said that no inquest would be held, declared that no 
motive had been found for French's action. No members of his family or his 
neighbors reported hearing the shot. 
   French was born Aug. 14, 1911, in Gladwin county, and had resided in 
Sanford for the past five years. Surviving are his widow; Laverne; three 
children, Larry, Jo-Anne and Jeanne, all at home; his father, William French, 
of Beaverton, a brother, Evert; and a sister, Muriel, both of Midland. Funeral 
services were held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Dale Methodist 
church and burial was in the church cemetery.
