Suicide
Thomas J. Carter---known as "fat Tom Carter," a son of the late John Carter, hung himself at his home in Perry township last Saturday night. He was suffering with spinal disease, and his sanity had for some time been questioned. He arose in the night, excused himself to his wife, saying that he would be back in a few minutes, went out and up on the side of a hill close to the house and hung himself with a hame-string. His wife becoming alarmed at his absence, caused search to be made, finding him hanging to the limb of an apple tree, with his feet drawn up from the ground, and life extinct. There are reports that he had previously attempted suicide, and his wife had prevented the same, and that at one time he brought a corncutter into his house with evil intent. His spinal ailment probably affected his brain. He leaves eight children
