Alden K. ASHELMAN, aged about 66, made despondent by illness, hung himself in a corn crib on his farm six and a half miles northeast of Rochester, about 5:15 o'clock Friday morning. The body was discovered by Ray KINDIG, who farms the place, at 5:30 and life was then extinct. Mr. Ashelman had been bothered with cancerous trouble on his face for about two years. Operations had failed to give him relief, and of late it was noticed by relatives that his mind was becoming affected. Besides the widow, there survive three daughters, Mrs. W. H. SHEETS, of Rochester, Mrs. J. S. THOMPSON, of Churubusco, and Mrs. Lyman HIGGINS, of Anderson; two sisters, Mrs. Helen CASE, of Topeka, Kas., and Mrs. James COPLEN, of near Akron, and a brother, Alvah ASHELMAN, of California. Mr. Ashelman was born in Henry township, Fulton county, in 1853, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel ASHELMAN, now deceased. About 40 years ago, he moved on the farm where he died and had operated it continuously up until about two years ago, when his health failed. Funeral arrangements later.
