Suicide in Campbell

Saranac, Jan 23d, 1873

Aaron Parker, of Campbell, committed suicide on the morning of the 20th inst. by
hanging.  The facts, as near as your correspondent has been able to gather them,
are that some time since his wife left home, complaining that she was ill
treated by Mr. Parker.  She went to Hastings, and a few days since her husband
visited her and tried to prevail upon her to return, which she refused to do. 
Whereupon Parker evinced unmistakable signs of insanity, and on the morning in
question attempted to kill himself with a knife, but was prevented by his boy. 
About eight o’clock he proceeded to an outhouse, and with a halter strap
fastened to a rafter hung himself, and when found five minutes later was dead,
his knees almost touching the floor.
