ED SCHILLERSTROM
Ed Schillerstrom, aged 47, was found dying last Thursday
evening about ten o'clock. His body was found in the garden of his home with a
shot gun wound in his abdomen, and his throat slashed with a razor. He lived a
few minutes, but was unable to make any statement.
Following an all night investigation by Sheriff Stansbery and
Acting Coroner Tallman, assisted by a state agent, they issued a statement that
the man had committed suicide. Relatives were not satisfied with this decision
and requested further investigation, and on Saturday afternoon a coroner's
inquest was held in Salina. The jury, composed of H.C. Pattison, Ted Garber and
Fred Kann, with Acting Coroner Tallman and attorneys, held sessions in Fairfield
Monday and Tuesday. After hearing witnesses the jury upheld the decision of
suicide.
The deceased was a son of Joseph Schillerstrom, the Salina
merchant. His mother died in 1918. There is also one sister dead. Three sisters
and three brothers survive as follows: Rev. Glen Schillerstrom of Jacksonville,
Ill., Curtis Schillerstrom of Louisville, Ky., Mrs. Ralph Johnson of Fairfield,

Three children survive the father- Ralph and Joseph at home,
and Mrs. Arlene Jacobs of Salina neighborhood.

Presbyterian church, in charge of Rev. H.G. Ellsworth and Rev. H.W. Lundberg of
Lockridge. The pall bearers, all cousins of the deceased were: Gus Schillerstrom,
