A C STUMBAUGH FOUND HANGING IN BARN
Bassett, Nebr, March 16
Special to the News: A C Stumbaugh, an old and highly respected citizen, who lived on a farm one mile south of Bassett, was found hanging dead in the barn. Mr Stumbaugh had been ailing for a long time and a few months ago his life was despaired of, but he had improved somewhat and while he was able to be around the house and yard, and seemed to gain some strength, his mind was becoming weaker, and he showed symptoms of despondency. Still it was not thought that he had such an act as this in his head, and therefore was allowed to go unaccompanied to the barn daily.
As usual he went to the barn and nothing was thought of it until he had been gone an hour or so, when his youngest son, about 13 years old went to the barn and found him. He ran to the house and cried out to his mother what he had seen, and then ran half a mile to Frank Lake's, who at once went to the family's aid.
Mr Stumbaugh is an Odd Fellow. The community is greatly shocked, and his estimable family has the sympathy of all--Norfolk Daily News.
Mr Stumbaugh was a brother of Mrs Fred Thelander of Atkinson. Mr and Mrs Thelander went to Bassett last Thursday and attended the funeral which was held Saturday. Mr Stumbaugh's long illness had unbalanced his mind so he was not aware of what he did, as his life previously had been upright and he was an esteemed and honored citizen.
