Wilford Snyder, the twelve-year-old boy who attempted suicide by hanging last
Thursday evening, was taken to the Children's Home at York, by Dr. Danner and 
his father.  The boy had been employed by a number of farmers in this community, 
but was never satisfied with any of his employers.  About eight months ago he 
was employed by P. W. Rudisill, and often remarked to Mrs. Rudisill that he was
going to drown himself.  Mr. Snyder is an engineer on the railroad and lived in 
Hanover.
