Iowa Plain Dealer October 8, 1875, P3 C2

We learn from Mr. H. Sayers of Howard township the particulars about the suicide of John Mitchell a young man who has been in the employ of Levi H. Sisco, three miles this side of Busti this summer. He has been unwell and in low spirits for some little time and on Thursday of last week he shot himself dieing{sp} from the wound on Saturday last. His mother who lives near Prairie du Chien arrived before his death. Temporary insanity undoubtedly induced the act.
