Former Danby Man A Suicide

Clarence “Pat” Ingalls Ends Life With Shotgun On Wacousta Farm

Clarence “Pat” Ingalls, 52, well known in this vicinity through his long 
residence in Danby township, died Thursday night in a Lansing hospital from 
self inflicted shotgun wounds.  It is thought ill health was the cause of the 
rash act.  Several years ago the family moved from Danby to a farm near 
Wacousta where he fired the gun that ended his life.

In a note left for his wife he stated he could no longer endure the terrible 
headaches he was having.  It also gave directions for his burial and 
instructions in regard to his business affairs.

“Pat” was the son of the late Charles Ingalls, a Danby pioneer, and had spent 
practically all his lifetime there until he moved to a farm near Wacousta.  
Besides the widow he is survived by two sons 11 and 14 years of age.  Mrs. 
Harry Kelly, of Danby, and Mrs. Guy Stiffler, of Muskegon, are sisters.  The 
mother, Mrs. Phila Ingalls, resides in Portland.

Funeral services were held at Wacousta Sunday afternoon and burial made in 
Danby cemetery.
