The Stanton Weekly Clipper, Friday, September 14, 1883


Virgil VanVleck, cashier of the 2d National Bank of Ionia, shot and killed 
himself at Palo Monday.  An Ionia dispatch of the 11th to the Evening News 
says: “News was received here yesterday that Virgil VanVleck, of this city had 
been found dead in the woods near Palo with a bullet hole in his head.  It is 
believed here that the unfortunate man committed suicide while suffering from 
severe mental depression, being worn by overwork.  He was a very busy man, 
being cashier of the Second National Bank; secretary of the Ionia school board; 
secretary and treasurer of the gas company and, of the (illegible) company, and 
was formerly manager of the telephone exchange.  He gave out under the severe 
strain of which he was subjected, and at the time of his death was making a 
visit for rest, with his parents in Palo.  His accounts are all right, on 
whisper of suspicion as to his integrity, and he was greatly respected here.  
He leaves a wife and two children.”
