Suicide at Dayton

Thomas Brady Found Hanging in a Barn

Last Sunday morning the dead body of Thomas Brady was found hanging in the barn
of J. R. Shaw of Dayton.  He is supposed to have hanged himself last Saturday
evening, as he was in the office of Mr. Shaw, in the front of the barn, talking
until about 8 o’clock, when he left, and was not seen again till his body was
discovered on Sunday morning.  He had made a noose in a rope used in hoisting
hay into the barn.  The rope was fastened to a rafter, and he is supposed to
have launched himself off a pile of bales of hay.  As his neck was not broken,
he died of strangulation.  He seemed in his usual good spirits on Saturday
evening when talking to Mr. Shaw.  No one knows of any reason why he should have
thus ended his life.  He had worked for several years in the Woodworth tailings
mill, where he was well liked.  A verdict of suicide was rendered by the
Coroner’s jury.
