			      Death by Suicide


	William Mark, a retired farmer living in Vaughsville, committed 
suicide last Friday afternoon by hanging himself to a joist in his barn.  
He was 53 years old.  Despondency which came over him recently, caused him 
to commit the deed.  His widow and two sisters survive him.  The deceased 
was born and raised in Sugar Creek township and lived there his entire life.
        He was married to Margaret Evans and had been a very successful 
farmer. By the practice of Christianity in his every day life he won the 
respect and confidence of all who knew him and his rash act was a shock to 
the entire community.  The funeral was held Friday afternoon at the home 
conducted by Rev Mansel Jones of the Congregational church.
