The Hannibal Journal November 30, 1848
SUICIDE. -- David R. Heather, a citizen of this county, put an end to his 
existence on Sunday evening last, the 19th instant, by blowing his brains out 
with a pistol.  Mr. H. was unmarried, and resided at the house of Mr. Husky, 
six miles east of this place.  During the day the rash act was committed, he 
was observed to be unusually cheerful.  Towards night he retired to his room; 
some time after, the family were alarmed by the report of a pistol, and on 
going to the room, found him lying on the floor, lifeless.  The ball entered 
his right eye, and blew off a considerable portion of the upper part of his 
head, Mr. Heather was about 24 years of age. -- Palmyra Whig.
