He Was Tired of Living.
Henry Schroeder, aged seventy-one, and for thirty-three years a resident of Windsor township, Fayette County, committed suicide Sunday morning, June 30. He had been ill for quite a long time and became very despondent. Last November, he endeavored to make away with himself and had been closely watched ever since.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows a Henry Schroeder buried in West Union Cemetery who committed suicide and died on June 30; however, they show he was born Sept. 24, 1840.
