Funeral services were conducted in the Methodist church at Fillmore, Wednesday afternoon by Rev. Charles F. Geiger for Dallas Arnold, well known Jordan township farmer, who committed suicide Monday morning by hanging in the barn of the farm on which he had lived for 34 years. He was 61 years old.
Last spring, Mr. Arnold suffered a fractured shoulder bone when he fell from a load of hay. He was in a hospital for several weeks and had been incapacitated for general farm work since. The accident resulted in despondency which is given as the cause of the suicide.
Mr. Arnold arose about 4:00 a.m. and went to the barn. His nephew, Robert Durphy, arose an hour later and when Mr. Arnold did not appear to assist in milking cows, as was his custom, Mr. Durphy searched for him and found the body dangling on a rope tied to rafter in the hay mow. Mr. Arnold had been dead but a short time. Coroner Olaf Thompson of Lanesboro and Dr. C. W. Woodruff were called.
Mr. Arnold was born November 6, 1875, at Fillmore and has lived in the Chatfield vicinity all his life. On June 30, 1902, at Chatfield, he married Eliza Durphy who survived with two sisters, Mrs. Sadie Winslow of Fillmore and Mr. Peter Rooney of Rader, N. D.
