ENDS HIS OWN LIFE

Everett Miller of Barney Takes His Own Life at His Home Last Monday Morning

Everett Miller of Barney, a son of Mrs. Lizzie Miller, committed suicide Monday morning about 7:30 o’clock by shooting himself through the head with a .32 caliber revolver. He was married about two weeks ago to Miss Goldie Gilbert, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. N. Gilbert of Barney who runs the hotel at that place, and he and his wife were staying at the hotel for a time expecting to move in a short time to Gilbert’s farm north of Winterset.

They arose at the usual time Monday morning but young Miller told his wife he had some writing to do before coming down stairs. He wrote and sealed a letter to his wife, stating he had done wrong and did not care to live any longer and requested that he be buried from the church at Barney. He and his wife had had no family trouble and no cause is known for the rash act.

Coroner Richards was summoned but did not consider it necessary to hold an inquest. The funeral was held in the Christian church in Barney Tuesday afternoon.
