sorrow Saturday afternoon when news
was received over the telephone that
J Joshua j Williams, who made his bone
with his son, ID. l Williams, seven
miles south and east of this city had
committed suicide by shooting. The
story as near as we can learn, is that

loads after dinner and remained at
the house while the man scattered in
the field. About two o'clock, the hired
man returning from the field found the
old gentleman's PROSTATE form with the
top OF his head practically blown of,
his brains blown out and he was cold in
death. still grasping 44-calibre
revolver. There is no cause known for
his rash act. He had good home, and
loved and was loved by his children.
He always appeared to be happy and
there can be no reason offered other
than temporary insanity. The bereaved
family will have the deepest sympathy
of all our people, The funeral'was held
in Webster Monday from the Methodist
church and was attended by a large
concourse of neighbors and friends who
followed his remains to their last rest
ing place in Webster cemetary. Rev
d. Mclean preached very beautiful
and appropriate sermon. There were
many beautiful floral tributes at the
services.
