************************************************************************************ James LUKSAN / LUKHON of Liberty Township Ends His Own Life By Hanging Himself To Beam in Bedchamber Sunday Night
Corner Julin DEELY was notified on Sunday night by undertaker BARNETT, of Merrill, that Lames LEKSAN, an aged farmer residing in Liberty township, has committed suicide by hanging. On making inquiries the corner decided that no inquest was necessary in apparently being a clear case of suicide. Mr. LUKSAN, who was over eighty years of age, retired for the night on SUnady night at an early hour, and was found shortly afterwards hanging by a rope from the ceiling in his bed room. He has driven spikes into the studding to which he attached a rope and adjusted a noose around his neck, standing on a chair to make his preparations on then kicking it away from him with his feet. Death was caused by suffication.
Mr. LUKSAN had been in a despondent condition of mind for some time and his act is ascribed to temporary aberration of his mental facilities. He lost his wife some six years ago and never entirely recovered from the grief accasioned by her death. About five years ago he made an attempt to end his life but his intentios was frustrated by timely intervention. He was subject to fits of deep melancholy at times, but when these passed away he was ordinary, cheerful and happy. Nr, LUKSAN was a native to Bohemia and came to America when he was a young man. He settled in Liberty twonship nearly forty years ago, and bought a farm where he has since lived.
The funeral will be held today from his home in Liberty townsip. 1 Jan 1912 Chas. LUKSHAN
