"ENDED HIS LIFE
DESPONDENT FARMER DRANK CARBOLIC ACID
Early Wednesday morning Miner Rimer, a well known and highly respected farmer, 
living near Vaughansville arose and at once repaired to the barn to attend to 
the performance of his chores.  While there he drank a quantity of carbolic 
acid, supposed to be about an ounce and a half.  He lived but a few minutes 
afterwards, never speaking after taking the fatal dose.

Despondency over what seemed financial embarrassment is the alleged cause.  
Rimer was well connected, being a brother to Rev. William Rimer, well known 
Christian church minister.  The funeral will be held from Vaughnsville 
Christian church, Friday, and interment will be made in the cemetery at that 
place."
