Grundy Center Resident Kills Self With Gun

Charles Hell, 63, a resident of Grundy Center for years, killed himself with a shotgrun in his home here where he lived alone; some time Sunday night or early Monday morning. His body was found Monday noon by two youths, Carl Graves and Harm Cassabarth, who put a ladder to an upstairs window to enter the house after neighbors had noticed no sign of life there. All doors were locked and lights were on.

The dead man had been in poor health for some time. He has no relatives in Grundy Center, but through some letters in the house it was learned he has a brother at Wilton Junction, who will come and make funeral arrangements.
