Children:
(1.) Bertha May Law married Walter E. McAfee.
(2.) John William Law married Rosa Sabina Kendle.
(3.) Charles Elmer (Bub) Law married Elizabeth Pauline "Polly" Law.
Yesterday afternoon, William Law committed suicide near Edgemont by hanging himself in a stable with a bridle rein. He was employed as a laborer, by Reuben Brown, who lives near Edgemont. Mr. Brown loaned him his team to take a load of applies to Sharp,s Mill. In the afternoon he put a couple barrels of cider in the wagon and drove to his own house.
It is said that he had been drinking during the day, and was somewhat intoxicated, and that his wife reproved him for getting drunk, and he went out of the house in anger. No further attention was paid to him by his family.
In the meantime, Mr. Brown saw his team standing in the road, and after waiting some time and no driver appearing, he went over to Law's house to see what was wrong. Mrs. Law and her mother regain a search for the missing man, and going into a stable, to their horror they saw his lifeless body hanging from a rack. He had taken a rein from a bridle and tied a noose in it which choked the life out of him. He was about 33 years of age.
There can be no cause for the act unless he had been drinking too much hard cider. He was an industrious man. He leaves a wife and two small children.
