MARTIN DRABIC

   Called to the home of Martin Drabic at Newboro, near New Salem, shortly before
midnight Wednesday, presumably to prepare the man's body for burial, Deputy
Coroner A. W. Kisinger of Brownsville discovered that Drabic had died by his own
hand.  Mr. Kisinger, after an investigation, reported that the dead man, evidently
despondent because of ill health, had drunk the contents of a small bottle of
poison.  An empty glass and the bottle were found beside the body, the official
reported.
   Drabic, who was 43 years of age, is survived by his widow, Mrs. Emma Drabic,
and three children: Margaret, Elmer and Walter Drabic at home, and three brothers,
John and Andrew of Cleveland and Michael of Scranton.
   Funeral services will be held in the home Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock with
the Rev. Harry W. Kilgore officiating.  Burial will be in Mount Pleasant cemetery.
