Heriford, an early settler, slightly past 78 years of age, took his own life Saturday afternoon on the farm homesteaded by him in 1892, 10 miles southwest of Watonga. His body was discovered by Henry Heriford, a son, shortly after the aged pioneer took his life at one o'clock in the afternoon.
Interment was in the Bridgford cemetery following the services at the home of Miral Heriford.
