GRIEF OVER LOSS HELD

Body-WaS at His Of
flee Tuesday.

z. C. Eberhart. 46 years old prom
inent manufacturer and banker. OF
Mishawaka, ended his life Tuesday
afternoon about 4 o'clock at the Mish-
awake cemetery. He fired two shots
into his heart and his body fell over
the grave of his son, who was killed
in an automobile accident in 1903.
Death was instantaneous. Grief over
the loss of his son is thought to have
been the cause.
Near the body. on a stone seat, was
found a note addressed to Fred
Grimes, office manager of the Woolen
company, in which he left instruc-
tions for the disposal Of the body.
He left no word that would indicate
any cause for his suicide and there
was no word OF farewell TO his family.
Mr.. Eberhart killed himself by fir
ing two shots from a Colts automatic
directly into his heart. He evidently
fired in rapid succession without mOv-
ing the gun, for only one bullet hole
was found on the body. The gun was
found lying in the crook of the arm.
The revolver was a brand new one.
According to relatives, Mr.. Eberhart
had a deathly fear of gun and
never allowed one in the house.
Woman Finds Body.
The body was found by Mrs.
Theresa Ruff, 636 Lincoln way F.,
who was driving through the ceme-
terry at the time. At first glance, the

she notified the men there. Dr. G. A.

men he went to the cemetery and
found Mr.. Eberhart dead.
Mr.. Eberhart has never recovered
from the shock caused by the death
of his son, Harris, who with his father
was in the auto accident near Chicago
that resulted in the sons death. There
had always been a close relation be-
tween the father and son and when
the latter was killed II is said Mr..
Eberhart lost the only real companion
he ever had
The younger Eberhart was the only
son of +. c.. Eberhart and when he
was killed. the family name was in
danger of being discontinued. He was
the only son of any of the three
Eberhart brothers who were interest
I'd in many manufacturing industries
and banks in MiShawaka for the past
quarter of a century
Harris Eberhart was killed in 1909
when the big Pierce in which the
party was riding was struck by a
train at a railroad crossing near
Crown Point, Ind The son with an
other member of the party was in
stantly killed and the elder Mr.. Eber-
hart was seriously injured.
Ever since then Mr.. Eberhart has
been grieving over this death. In

Camp Eberhart at Corey lake, Mich.
which was given TO the Y. NJ. c. A.

Cousins Death Intensifies.
IL is thought that Mr.. Eberhart has
been brooding over his sons death
more than ever during the past few
