Ed KUMLER, 38, a resident of Kewanna, and well known in the county, killed himself Saturday morning at his home with a shotgun. His body was found by his wife about ten o'clock when she returned from church. He was a brother of Frank KUMLER, assistant cashier at the United States Bank and Trust Co., of this city, and Bright KUMLER, former county treasurer, of Kewanna. Frank Kumler did not know of the death until nearly noon when he was informed by a News-Sentinel reporter. According to the information from Kewanna, Mr. Kumler, whose home is on Logan street there, had been worrying about financial matters and the sale of the old home farm recently had made him unusually despondent. He had lived there until March 1st. About eight o'clock his wife left home to attend mass and returned an hour later. But it was not until ten o'clock that she went up stairs and there in a bedroom found the body of her husband. He had shot himself in the abdomen and nearly a gallon of blood was on the floor. It is thought that he had aimed for his heart. Coroner HIATT was called but up to noon had made no report. He is survived by his wife and one son.
