Keokuk, Jan. 22.-One of the saddest
suicides ever recorded in this city is
that of a student at the Keokuk Med
ical College, S. Wilburford David, aged
20 years. He killed himself because of
dependency over i'll health, money
matters and his college studies. He
was resident of Cincinnati, Iowa,
where his parents reside. He killed
himself in a room at the Grand Hotel,
which he had rented for the night. A
two ounce bottle of laudanum found
on the dresser when his body was dis
covered was mute evidence as to the
manner in which he had severed the
cord Of life, and letter addressed to
Loren e. Orr, his roommate and
chum, gives hint as to the cause of
the tragedy.
The letter to Orr is as follows:
Orr, Dear Boy: kindly arrange
things as best you can, and send word
to my father. Am not getting along as
fast as would like to and cannot stand
it. Keep anything you wish in remem-
ibrance and remember me to the boys.
Yours, SLIM"
In the simple letter left for his fa-
Their, mother and grandmother the I'M
fortunate young man makes no refer
ence to his troubles but only bids them
a tender farewell. There is no super
scription and the message is unsigned,
but it tells its own story:
God bless you mother and father
and grandma. My hearts too full to
say more"
Letters from the father show that
the family's hopes and fondest
thoughts rested with the son for whom
they were saving every spare dollar
and making every sacrifice. He was
an only child and all their love CEN
tered upon him.
That he was fellow of unusual
ability is shown by the fact that
though one of the youngest members
for two years he had almost lead his
class in the college and even when he
had begun to neglect his work was con-
sidered good student. His parents
were justified in the high hopes and
ambitions that they cherished for his
future and had not circumstances so
combined to down him he would sure
~ have made his mark in the medical
world.
Among other papers was found
sealed letter addressed to Miss Mabel
Spooner, Grinnell, Iowa, and this Cor
oner Hawkes. refused to open. Miss
Spooner is student at Grinnell and
to his most intimate friends he had
often spoken of her.
