Felix Gapinski, aged 24, committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a pistol last Saturday, almost on the eve of his wedding day. Gapinski was to have been married Monday to Miss Lucille Mix. A home had been provided and all seemed merry. He was at the fiancé's home Friday and plans for the ceremony planned for Monday were discussed. he left the Mix home after 11 pm and complained of feeling ill and dizzy.

At 4:30 o'clock Saturday morning, members of Garpinski's family found him lying in the doorway of an outbuilding. He had a gaping wound in his forehead and an automatic pistol lay where it had evidently fallen from his hand.

Garpinski was an employe of the Aluminum Goods Company. He was born in this city. Besides his parents, he is survived by four brothers, Frank of Chicago,,, Alois of Racine, Paul and Alex of this city and by two sisters, Mrs. Peter Benes, this city and Lucille at home.

Funeral services were held Tuesday from St. Mary's church which was to have been the scene of the wedding ceremony the day before.
