Lib Gunsaulis committed suicide yesterday forenoon at the home of her sister, Mrs. Matt Kirkpatrick, Reasnor. She was about 60 years of age and had been in poor health of some time.

Deceased was a sister of George Gunsaulis and George and his wife drove to Kirkpatrick’s yesterday to take Miss Gunsaulis to their home, thinking that change might do her good. About the time they arrived at Kirkpatrick’s Miss Gunsaulis left the house. Nothing was thought of it until dinner was ready when they went out to call her and found her hanging in one of the barns where she had hung herself using a line from the single harness. She was dead when found.

The funeral was held this afternoon.
