Notes - Suicide’s Funeral To Be Held Monday
Samuel H. Hedges Drank Carbolic Acid
Had Long Been Despondent
Despondent and depressed because of mental disorders, Samuel H. Hedges, 62, of this city, committed suicide on Friday afternoon by drinking carbolic acid. He was found along the Pennsylvania Railroad track, north of Eighth street, about 3:45 o’clock, after trainmen on the train leaving this city about 2:50 o’clock noticed the man, and reported the incident to station officials. He died at 4:45 o’clock. Dr. B.O. Thomas was called, but the man was beyond hope of recovery. An inquest was deemed unnecessary.
A letter was taken from the coat pocket of the dead man, telling of his despondency. The letter contained a number of requests relative to property distribution. Hedges was released from Springfield Hospital at Sykesville recently.
Hedges had been boarding at the home of Mrs. Ida Buston, 120 West Fourth street, for several days. He stated in his letter that all his personal property would be found there.
Hedges is survived by an adopted daughter, Jessie Marie Hedges, and two sisters, Mrs. Rose Davison, Uxbridge, Mass., to whom he asked that his daughter be sent to be cared for, and Mrs. Julia Zehndner, Palo Alto, Cal. He requested that his body be given to C.E. Cline for burial. Funeral Monday afternoon at two o’clock from chapel in Mt. Olivet cemetery. C.E. Cline, funeral director.
