SADDEST TRAGEDY
AT new LONDON
Fred Monson Ends His Own Life,
The elimination of a Ner-
vous Breakdown

Last Saturday morning the people of
New London and vicinity were shock
ed beyond measure when the report
came of the death of Fred Monson, one
OF the prominent businessmen and re-
spected resident Of the village Under
the strain of long nervous break
down and several months without ma
tural sleep his mental stay gave way
and he ended his life with his own
hands. While his wife and little eight
year old daughter were out in the
yard at his home he had taken a shot
gun and killed himself.
MIR. MOnsOn had been in continued
and increasing i'll health for a period
OF years. Early last winter he was
operated on for gallstones at a St.
Paul hospital. He remained very
weak for a long time and unable to
sleep. His nervousness increased and
later he went back to St. Paul and
| was treated by prominent nerve spe
| clallst for several weeks, during which
time the nurses records showed him
| to have had but one hours natural
| sleep. On his return home two weeks
ago the doctor ordered he should have
a private nurse, but after couple OF
days he discharged her His physical
condition improved considerably but
his nervousness continued and his
mental dependency remained. The
day before the tragedy his brother
Magnus and Victor Holm had taker
him-to Lake Andrew for fishing trir
believing that little such diversion
would do him good as he was one who
greatly enjoyed fishing and hunting.
| Friedrich Monson was born in Dovre
township, Kandiyohi county. on May
II, 1871, being next to the youngest
OF seven brothers. On leaving the
farm he spent some years as machine
expert and travelling salesman for the
international Harvester Co., and later
became interested with his brothers
Mas nus and Charles in the lumber
and hardware business at New Lon
don. At the time of his death he
was member of the firm of Monsor
Brothers & Holm.
On August 10, 1907, he was married
to Miss Tillie Johnson at Minneapo
lis. He was successful businessman
