Daily Local News, July 14, 1927
Wires the Coatesville correspondent:  Park Murray, a steel worker employed at 
the Lukens plant here, ended his life by hanging at his home in Hayti early 
this morning. He was 42 years old and leaves but his wife.  Coroner J. Pennock 
Holton has been notified and will conduct an investigation today.  The cause of 
Murray committing suicide is not stated, except by neighbors, who say there has 
been some family trouble recently.  He went downstairs from his room early this 
morning, it is said, to get his breakfast prior ot going to work.  When his 
wife came down she noticed his dinner bucket on a table and his shoes on the 
porch.  Running across the road into a small building along the Linclon 
Highway, she saw her husband dangling from a rope.  The lower floor of this 
building is below the road.  Murray  had broken a hole through the flooring and 
having attached a rope to the ceiling of the first floor room, dropped through 
this hole after tying the rope about his neck.  Mrs. Murray notified neighbors, 
who went into the building and found her husband dead.
