Sioux County Herald of Apr 3, 1901 p. 5
R. Zwart, a young farmer living near Hull, committed suicide early last Thursday morning by blowing the top of his head off with a double barreled shot gun. There is no cause known for his act. He was a Hollander by birth, and we are informed leaves quite a little property which he had arranged to go to his mother, who is still in Holland, in case of his death.
(A later article stated that he had a wife and children in Holland and that his housekeeper was suing for services rendered before his death here.)

(There was no further information found on the identity of this R. Zwart. If anyone has information on him, please contact our page coodinator to add it)
