Thomas Purtell, OF Sharptown commit
ted suicide by drowning, Wednesday
morning July 4th. He had for a long
time carried the mail between S~harptown
and Woodstown.
He arose at 4 O'Clock, went to the pond
and tying his feet to a kettle filled; with
stones jumped in where it was about
fifteen feet in depth. His body was
found two hours later. He was about
forty-five years OF age, and leaves a wife
and four children. The burial took place
last Saturday,
Mr.. Purtell was the third one of tie
family TO attempt suicide. A few weeks
ago a brother in Philadelphia jumped
from a window into the street and was
killed. A week previous his sister, Miss
Mary Purtell, of Woodstown, attempted
to hang herself, but was found in time to
prevent the accomplishment of her pur.
pose. 1t is thought that brooding over
the loss of the brother and the act of the
sister, caused him to end his life. Mr.
Purtell had been faithful in the perform.
