Suicide at Mona.
Mitchell Co. Press:—-Monday morning early, P. K. Everson, one of the most prominent citizens of the northern portion of Mitchell county, committed suicide by hanging himself. The deceased was one of the old settlers of Mitchell county, his parents settling in this county in 1854. He was born In Norway, January 12, 1843, emigrating to this country with his parents when but two years of age. He was a man of considerable means. His farm with buildings near Mona, was one of the finest in the county, consisting of fine buildings and nearly 600 acres of land. He had not been despondent, although, for some time past, he had worried over his physical ailments. A year ago he had a stroke of paralysis and about the same time he was injured about the head, a team hitched to a pulverizer running away with him. From the latter injuries he quickly recovered. A week ago he went to St. Paul and consulted a specialist. He said but little concerning his interview with the physician, as he was a man who kept his own counsel.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows he is buried in the Rustad Cemetery and that he died Sept. 9, 1901.
