The Portland Observer, Wednesday, January 18, 1905

The death of Henry Johnson of Lyons, which it was reported was the result of 
hazing which the young man had been subjected to at the Agricultural College 
and which president Snyder denied, is said by the physician of the family of 
which the young man was a member, to have been caused from insanity which 
produced hemorrhage of the brain brought on by some great mental strain or of 
fright.  Dr. Grant, who treated the young man, says that he is induced to 
believe from what the boy said in his semi-rational moments that he had had 
some exciting experience in hypnotism or mental science.

A rather distressing incident in connection with the death of the young man is 
the fact that his elder brother, Arthur, is to be married to Miss Alice, 
daughter of Riley Taft of Orange, on Wednesday of this week and it was to have 
been quite an elaborate affair.  The invitations have been recalled or 
withdrawn and the wedding will be a quiet affair.  This will cause another 
change in plans, as Arthur was to have taken charge of the Taft farm and Henry 
was to have remained on the homestead.
