Pleasantville, Nov. 6 – Lewis Ramsey, an old citizen of this place was found this morning at 8 o’clock hanging by the neck in his mill. He was at once cut down and physicians summoned, but although it is said he breathed when cut down, they were unable to restore him to life and consciousness, and he passed away.

Mr. Ramsey was a man about 70 years, and for several years has conducted a feed mill in Pleasantville. It is not know what, if any, cause existed for the rash act.
