SUICIDE IN ANS0N.
Asher HOlbroOk Hangs Himself From
Beam In His Barn.

The Twin towns of Arson and Mad
ison were shocked early Monday
morning to hear. of the suicide OF
Asher Holbrook. who hung himself
from a beam in his own barn on
lonely farm In Arson.
Mr.. Holbrook and his sister. Mrs
Eta Witham, purchased less than
two months ago the farm known as
the Wentworth place about two miles
out in Arson. They had but recently
moved there and for company had
two children, Brunette, son of MIR.
and Mrs. Geo. Davis of Madison. and
Maud Lake, daughter of Mrs. Jennie
Lake, of the same place. Mr.. Hol-
brook and the Davis boy roomed to-
gether and just at daylight the boy
was awakened by some noise and
reused up sufficiently to see Mr.. Hol-
brook sitting on the edge of the bed
dressing. Thinking 1t was very early
but perhaps Asher had some work to
do. he went off to sleep again.
Later in the morning as Mr.. Hol-
brook did not come in the children
ran to the barn, which like the most
of old farm buildings Is situated some
distance from the house. When they
opened the door the first object that
met their view was the lifeless body
suspended from a beam. 1t is sup
posed that he committed the deed
shortly after he arose. 1t was a
great shock to the sister who had no
one with her but the two children
and was obliged to raise the body
herself while the Davis boy cut the
rope that held it,
Previous to the purchase of the
farm both Mr.. Holbrook and his sis
ter had lived for year or more with
their aunt, Mrs. Jerry Wentworth OF
Madison. and had made a great many
friends. There seemed no cause for
the act unless it might have been de-
spondency caused by poor health for
a few months back. The body was
taken to the home of his aunt, Mrs.
Wentworth, Tuesday, and the funer-
al was held Wednesday at 1.30 o.
clock. The flowers were many and
beautiful. Marcellus Perkins circle,
OF which Mrs. Witham and Mrs.
wentworth were both members, at
tended In body. The body was ia
ken to No. Arson for interment in
the family lot.
