HARRY B. VOUGHT

  Despondent because of ill health, Harry B. Vought, 56, of Broadway, Rockwood, 
took his own life Saturday, by hanging himself to a bedpost.
  Mr. Vought had been depressed and melancholy and his family had been watching 
him closely.  About 9:30 a.m., last Saturday, his wife talked with him and then 
went on about her morning duties, returning in a half hour to find he had 
strangled himself with a belt.
  Besides his wife, the former Grace Hostetler, he is survived by these 
children: Blaine Vought of Garrett; Clayton Vought of Somerset; Gloria Jean, 
Geneva, Shirley, Delores, Harry, Jr., and Freeman Vought at home, and three 
grandchildren.  Also surviving are five brothers and three sisters - Charles 
Vought of Rockwood; W. W. Vought of Rockwood R.D.; John, Milton and Clyde Vought 
of Somerset; Mrs. Mary Frazee of Point Marion; Miss Mary and Miss Carrie Vought 
of Rockwood.
  Funeral services were held at the home Monday afternoon at 2:30 with Rev. 
Hillis Berkey officiating.  Burial was made in the Rockwood I.O.O.F. Cemetery.
