February 3, 1887 - Storm Lake Pilot - John Miller, of Maple Valley township, went out to the barn last Monday night and blew out his brains with a shot gun. The neighbors say that the relatives with whom he was living treated him very kindly and think the cause for the sad act was merely fanciful, as he was over ninety years old and very childish.

Coroner Whitely went down Tuesday to hold an inquest. We have not heard the result, but suppose a verdict will be rendered in accordance with the facts as above stated.
