Ill Health Shoots Himself

Rufus E. Brown, Hyde Parks Road
Commissioner, who lives at Centervile,
shot himself last Sunday morning, dying
instantly. The particulars are these
He arose at the usual hour, about five
o'clock, and after giving some attention
to w. d. Isham, an invalid, who lives
with him, went to the barn. Not return
ing, his wife went out to look him up
and found him dead on the barn floor. A
shotgun lay beside him.. John Gray, a
near neighbor, was called and he at once
summoned health officer, DR.. Leach, and
undertaken Lilley, who arrived promptly.
An investigation showed that Brown
had deliberately planned the deed. His
head rested upon a salted peanut pail
and he had put the end of the gun-barrel
into his mouth and lying on his back
had pulled the trigger, which blew one
side OF his face nearly of, death being in
Simultaneous.
MIR. Brown had been in poor health
long time, but was able to be about his
work, having worked on the road Satur-
day. He had talked about going to the
hospital tor treatment, but had an aver
sion OF so doing; in fact, had said he
would put himself out of the way some-
time.
Mr.. Brown was born in Morristown,
a son of the late Enoch Brown. He came
to Hyde Park about ten years ago and
married Dianna Whitcomb, a daughter
of Thomas Whitcomb of this town. He
has been a hard-working man and at
times fate seemed to be against him. He
was elected Road Commissioner at the
last annual March Meeting and performed
his duties as best he could, the cloud.
burst and frequent heavy rains almost
discouraged him, in fact he resigned his
position, but the authorities urged him
to continue his work. This work, with
his inhrmity, undoubtedly wesghed heav.
lily on his mind.
The funeral was held from the Center.
vile schoolhouse Monday afternoon and
was largely attended, Rev. w. r. Hamlin
othciciating, and the burial was at the
Center, a place he had often said he
would like to be buried in.
Besides his wife and FIVE little ones he
is survived by his mother, Mrs. Luthera
Brown; fonr brothers, A. W., of Johnson,
Artie of Eden, Harry of Stowe, /. H., of
Miles Pond, Henry, who lives with his
mother in Morristown, and three sisters,
Mrs. Edna Grady of Middlebury, Mrs.
Ernest Reed of Morristown and Mrs,
Chas. Wiltshire of Wolcott,
The case is indeed sad one and to the
bereaved family goes out sincere sympa-
thy. The family return thanks for the
many kindnesses shown them in their
affliction.
