From Story County Watchman April 9, 1897

Tuesday afternoon Ed. Carlson committed suicide at Story City by shooting himself through the head. The only reason given for the rash act was that of a religious enthusiast, and there was no apparent cause for it. He has number of relatives in that vicinity, and was well to do.
