Mrs. Dow Landis, 35, ended her own life by hanging herself in a tool shop at their farm home, four and a half miles northeast of Akron, Thursday morning. The body was found by her husband at 11 a.m. Ill health was believed to have caused the well-known Kosciusko county woman to commit suicide. The survivors are her husband, an adopted daughter Miss Turrell Landis and four brothers, Ike and William Thompson, of Rochester, and John and Jess Thompson, of near Akron. The coroner of Kosciusko county was called to the Landis farm but up until press time today he had not announced his verdict. Funeral arrangements will be announced in Friday's issue of The News-Sentinel.
