A TRAGIC OCCURENCE - DEATH OF LOCAL FARMER [Warning: This article deals with suicide]
It is with the keenest regret that we have to record the death of Mr Hughan Winton Montgomerie, who recently purchased the farm previously occupied by Mr Bartlett on the Bayliss Estate, and who was found dead on Monday afternoon, From information supplied us it appears that Mr Montgomery had been very depressed for some time, although there was nothing to suggest that he even contemplated taking his own life. At dinnertime yesterday, he was apparently in his normal condition, and left the house at about 1.45. As he had not returned at milking time Mrs Montgomerie became alarmed and communicated with the neighbours and a search party was instituted and at about 6 o'clock Mr J. Jordan found the dead body of the missing man hanging from a tree about 300 yards from the house. An inquest was held this morning by Mr C. Lally, coroner who after hearing evidence, returned a verdict "That the deceased, Hughan Winton Montgomerie, on the 20th day of September, 1920, on his farm at Te Puke, was found dead hanging from a tree.
