HUGH GLENN COMMITS SUICIDE.
Well Known Marion County Farmer Found Dead in his Home — Ill Health Given as Cause.
Ill health and despondency is assumed to be the cause of the death of Hugh Glenn, a well known farmer of near Hester, who was found dead in his bed by neighbors Tuesday morning. That his death came by his own hand is also self evident, and an inquest held by 'Squire Everett Johnston brought in a verdict to that effect the same afternoon.
Mr. Glenn owns a forty acre farm about a mile and a half north west of Hester, and never having married be has been living by himself. He was last seen alive by Ed. Glending, for whom he was doing some work, and at the time complained of being in poor health and predicted that he would not be on this earth much longer. This was on Saturday afternoon, and Tuesday morning some of his neighbors, noticing that a horse was harnessed the yard, suspicioned that something was wrong and knocked on the door. Failing to get a response he broke open the window and their fears were fully realized.
He was lying on his bed on his back, fully dressed with the exception that his right shoe and sock were off, and a shot gun was across his body, the trigger evidently having been pulled with his toes. The charge took effect in his neck and came out of the back of his head and death must have been instantaneous.
The deceased was about forty years of age and was born and had spent all his life in Marion county. He leaves a number of relatives, including three brothers, Joseph, Hubert and John, and two sisters, Mrs. W. Teed of Warren township and Mrs. Marvin Kincaid, formerly of the same vicinity but now of Illinois.
