Jacob Schaefer, A Prominent Farmer, Suffering From A Deranged Mind, Hangs Himself In His Barn
The people residing in the vicinity of Forest Junction and Dundas were shocked on Wednesday noon last to learn that Jacob Schaefer who resides in the town of Woodville, three miles west of Forest Junction, had taken his own life by hanging himself in his barn. The body of the unfortunate man was found by his mother who had occasion to visit the barn and she notified other members of the family.
An inquest was held by nothing was brought out to show cause for the rash act. Mr. Schaefer left the house about 11 o'clock in the forenoon for the field and shortly after returned to the barn where the act was committed. Several years ago he moved to Oklahoma and while there his mind became deranged and he was committed to an asylum. He recovered his health and about a year ago returned to the town of Woodville and up to the time of his death showed no signs of insanity. During the week before his death he worked quite hard on the farm and it is thought that the sun affected his brain. He was about 30 years of age. He leaves a heartbroken widow, three children, parents, three brothers and three sisters. The funeral took place on Friday forenoon from the Lutheran church in Woodville. He was a man well thought of in the community and his death is a sad blow to the relatives.
