The obituary above was written by The Warren Tribune (Warren, Pennsylvania) · 31 May 1928. In reality according to William Klinestiver death certificate, he committed suicide by a gun shot to the stomach. Prior to his death he had stomach issue that prevent him from running for public office or work. I believe his suicide was a result of this issue.
