PHILLIP VERBONIC
    
BURIED WEDNESDAY
  
Phillip Verbonic ended his life Saturday when he hanged
himself in his room in the Frank Campigotto home at Van
Lear.  Despondency over ill health has been given as the
cause.
  
Mr. Verbonic was about 63 years of age.  He was a native
of Austria and had made his home at Van Lear for more
than 20 years.
  
His wife, who died in 1935, was also an Austrian.  They
had no children, and after her death, Mr. Verbonic
continued to live in their home at Van Lear, taking his
meals with the Campigottos.
  
Two weeks ago he sold the furniture in his house and
moved in the Campigotto home.
  
On Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Campigotto left the house to
catch the four o'clock bus for Paintsville.  Her son,
Edward, came home about 4:45 and found the dead man.
  
Mr. Verbonic had no relatives in this community but was
well liked and had many friends.
  
Funeral services were conducted at the Catholic Church by
Rev. Joseph Wimmers Wednesday morning, burial being made
in the church cemetery by the side of his wife.
  
The Jones Funeral Home was in charge.
