"SUICIDE DUE TO DESPONDENCY.
Lloyd Tevis Breckinridge Kills Himself as a Result of Long Illness.
Lloyd Tevis Breckinridge, grandson on the paternal side of the late Vice-President Breckinridge, and grandson on the maternal side of the late Lloyd Tevis, president of the Wells-Fargo Express Company, committed suicide at the family home in San Francisco, where he lived with his grandmother and uncle, Dr. Harry Tevis. A rubber tube leading from the gas jet to the bed where the body was found told the story of his death. Despondency, due to a nervous trouble from which the young man had suffered for years, led to the suicide. He had just passed his twenty-third birthday. He was the son of the eldest daughter of the late Lloyd Tevis, now Mrs. Frederick W. Sharon. His mother is in Paris with her daughter, Miss Florence Breckinridge. The shock to Mrs. Lloyd Tevis, following so closely the death of her son, Hugh Tevis, in Japan, was almost more that she could bear, and her condition verges on nervous prostration."
