The Smithfield Herald, April 5, 1894

Two weeks ago we stated that Mr. J. B. Wall had committed sucicide.  This occurred 
in Wilders Township at the home of his son-in-law Mr. J. H. A. Cook.  Just two weeks 
from that hour, Mr. Cook killed himself with the same pistol.  He was over at 
Clayton last Monday and was drinking.  That evening he told his family what he 
expected to do and that they would find him in an old house nearby and requested 
that his body should not be washed or dressed.  He told his family what he wanted 
done with the property he had.  Next day he committed the awful deed by shooting 
himself through the head.
