JOE ROGERS COMMITS SUICIDE


Joe Rogers, of the Mt. View vicinity committed suicide by cutting his throat 
with his pocket knife, about 12 o'clock Saturday night at the home of his 
brother-in-law, H. G. Bishop, who lives 5 1/2 miles south west of Verden.

Joe Rogers in company with his uncle, W. P. Sherwood, arrived at the Bishop 
home Saturday afternoon, and had only been there a few hours.  Dr. Jones of 
Verden was called soon afterwards, but he died about twenty minutes before 
the physician arrived.  He lived an hour or more and conversed with the 
people in the house.  Refused to give any reason for committing such a rash 
act.  A note, found in his pocket after his death, bade all his people 
good-bye.

Deceased was thirty-five years of age and leaves an aged mother as well as 
other relatives to mourn his loss.

Funeral services were held at the grave Monday evening conducted by Rev. 
Anderson and interment made in the Verden cemetery
