GEORGE ELLIOTT

Suicide of Somerset County Man in Ohio
George Elliott Shot Himself at Port Clinton, Ohio, Where He Was Employed

  Sheriff Merle K. Glessner last week received a telegram from the Sheriff of 
Ottawa County, Ohio, stating that George Elliott, aged 60, a resident of 
Confluence R.D. 3, committed suicide Sunday night, Oct. 18, in a rooming house 
at Port Clinton, Ohio, by firing a bullet from an army rifle through his head.
  The Ohio sheriff requested that Elliott's wife be notified as to the 
disposition of the body.
  Elliott, who had done odd jobs about Confluence for a number of years, was the 
father of six children. He sought work and secured a job in a defense plant at 
Port Clinton, Ohio, several months ago.  No reason was given for the suicide.  
His body was buried in Port Clinton last Wednesday.
