As the result of swallowing a large quantity of landanum, presumeably with suicidal intent, JACOB [sic] STOUFFER, died at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning at the home of his wife, Court Avenue, West End. The story of Stouffer's act was told in Tuesday's Herald.

He had recently been employed at Waynesboro, having been separated from his wife, who was a Mrs. Lynn, before her marriage a year ago to Stouffer.

After swallowing the poison Stouffer's only request of his wife was that he be given a decent burial.

The deceased was a son of Samuel Stouffer, Boonsboro, and had worked at farming before he came to this city. He worked on the Stafford Hall farms for several years. He was aged 46 years.

He is survived by his wife, who was a Mrs. Lynn; son, Roy, Baltimore; and a daughter, Grace, this city.

Funeral Thursday morning at 10 o'clock; services at the house; interment in Rose Hill Cemetery.
