From Story County Watchman November 23, 1894

Story City Herald: The remains of Frank Arrasmith were taken through here to Gilbert last evening on the 6 o'clock train for burial. Arrasmith came to his death at his home in Plymouth county, Wednesday morning by shooting himself. He had gone up stairs to pack his trunk preparatory to moving, and in a few moments the report of a gun was heard and the young man fell over dead. Whether or not the shooting was accidental is not yet known. The remains will be buried at one o'clock to-day at the Pleasant Grove cemetery....
