Suicide at Northwood.
Anchor:—The lifeless body of George Seater was found hanging in his granary east of the railroad track last Wednesday afternoon. He left the home of John Walser, where he had been stopping, soon after breakfast and was last seen alive near the depot at about nine o’clock. He was then on his way to the granary, and it is presumed that he took his life about as soon as he arrived there. Deceased was an unusually quiet and inoffensive young man, honest and industrious, well to do, and one whom it would seem had little reason for feeling downhearted. Since the death of his father, last February, he had appeared to be unusually down hearted, but no one suspected that he would seek to end his sorrow by taking his life.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows he was born in 1862 and died April 17, 1895. He is buried in Sunset Rest Cemetery.
