Fateful suicide claims another victim within the borders of Page county. This time it is Earl King, the 20 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. John King, residing on a farm northeast of Coin, who shot and killed himself while in a fit of despondency, Monday afternoon.
He had been in poor health for years if not his entire life and evidently became tired of his earthly existence. He left a note explaining his awful deed in the hope of ameloriating the grief of his parents. It is a terrible thing for one to purposely hurl himself into eternity, but when one becomes weary of an existence in this great world there is not much left to live for and the Creator may provide an excuse for the awful
deed. Mr. and Mrs. King are old residents of this county and through energy and economy have accumulated a liberal share of this world's goods, but all this is of little use to them under such trying circumstances as the self-destruction of a beloved son. They have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 22, 1915

EARL KING OF NORWICH A SUICIDE No Known Motive For Act.
Earl King the 22 year old son of John B. King, living northeast of Norwich ended his own life Monday morning with a bullet shot through his brain. The young man committed suicide because of ill health, his relatives think.
Early in the morning he saddled a horse and started down the road, calling a farewell to his father as he rode away. A little farther on he dropped a letter in a mail box, also his watch, pocketbook and an orange. From there he went to the farm of his brother Elmer told him he was going to work and bade him good-bye. This worried the brother so he decided to overtake him and discuss the matter further. Although he cut across the fields he was to late, for just a few minutes later he reached the spot where he found the lifeless body of his brother.
The father and mother and brother are overcome with grief. His family is one of the most prominent at Norwich. Earl was a clean manly fellow who was a favorite among his friends, they being numbered by his acquaintances. The funeral was held at the home Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock and was conducted by Rev. Joseph Penn. Burial was in the Norwich cemetery. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 22, 1915

Obituary—Mrs. M. Kingcade.
Martha Spencer Kinkeade was born Dec. 17, 1900, in Grove, Okla. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Spencer and was one of a family of eight children. Two brothers and three sisters remain a comfort to their mother, the others, a brother and sister have already gone to the heavenly home. Only two months ago they were called upon to mourn the death of the 19 year old son and brother and so their hearts were already heavy with grief when this loving daughter and sister was called from her earthly home to the mansions of God, March 15, 1917. For thirteen happy childhood years she lived with her parents in Oklahoma and then came with the family to Freeman, Mo. Here she met the husband of her choice and just a year ago, March 14th, 1916, she was united in marriage to Mr. Mort Kingcade. The husband brought the loving young wife to his home near Burlington Junction, Mo. Under the minstry of Rev, Weaver she was converted December 3rd 1916, and was baptised December 6. Always a child of God she only at this time renewed her trust in her Saviour. March 4th, a little son came to gladden the hearts of these young parents.
When God in his wisdom laid the hands of great suffering upon her she was sweetly patient and when told that she was not to live she expressed her trust and faith in God and her willingness to go to the heavenly home leaving the baby son in its fathers care.
This beautiful young life has won for itself friends all along its pathway. Childhood friends in Oklahoma and friends of later years at Freeman, Mo., and at Burlington Junction, Mo., will be saddened by the news of the passing of this young wife and mother.
The hearts of the people whom she had come among only so recently have been touched by her sweet gratitude fore every little kindness. The sympathy of the community goes out to this husband and to these friends in their sorrow. May the sweetness and gentleness of this little mother live again in the tiny little son for whom she gave her life. Smilingly bidding each dear one good bye she left them each one in the care of that Saviour whom she loved so well.   May her rest be sweet.

The funeral was held at the Christian church at Braddyville Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. Weaver of Burlington Jet. officiating. Her remains were laid to rest in the Braddyville cemetery. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Mar 22, 1917
