Garland S. Clary, 27, Greensburg mail carrier, took his life at his home in Greensburg about 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon by hanging, just eight days after the death of his only child, 5-year-old Edna Blanche Clary, an invalid since birth and whose death appeared to weigh heavily on him.
Mr. Clary had sent Mrs. Clary out to telephone and when she returned a few minutes later he was missing. Going to the barn to look for him, she saw through a hoy hole hisn body hanging in the loft. Several neighbors were called in and the body was cut down by Dr. E. E. Symmonds and C. H. Brosius. The doctor found a spark of life remaining, but Mr. Clary lived only a few minutes.
Services were at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon at the Millport Christian Church, Millport, by the Rev. L. F. Gerard of Knox City. He was buried by the grave of his daughter in the Millport cemetery.
The son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Clary of near Knox City, Garland Samuel Clary was born Aug. 6, 1901. He attended the Vice school north of Knox City and the Edina High School. He passed civil services examinations in 1921 and was appointed rural mail carrier at Greensburg, a position he held until his death.
