October 13, 1914Almon Nathan Watkins, 74, committed suicide at the Watkins farm in the north part of town and his body was found suspended by a rope from a beam in the barn yesterday morning. His brother, Wallace E Watkins, and a hired man made the discovery when they went to the barn to do the chores. Dr C F Maxwell was sent for and his examination showed that he had been dead for some time. He was last seen Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock and the family did not mistrust anything wrong as it was not unusual for him to go away without saying where he was going.
He had lived with his brother, Wallace, at the farm and part of the time with his daughters. From poor health and rheumatism he was unable to do much work and felt himself a burden to his friends. He was born in Peru November 29 1840.
