Page 5, Column 3

Frank Peavy, formerly a resident of this community but later a wanderer, committed suicide in Burlington a short time ago, May 16th. He was going under an assumed name and it was by the merest accident that his son, Frank Peavy, connected the suicide to his father. He got into the facts a few days ago and went to Burlington where he found that the body, failing of identification, had been sold to a Missouri medical school. However he was able to secure it and give it decent burial.
