From Story County Watchman November 2, 1900

Tuesday Ellis Wheatley committed suicide at his residence southeast of this city by hanging hemself in the barn. He was a single man and is reported as being dispondent over some matters and took this way of effectually ridding himself of them. This is all that is known as to the cause of the rash act.
