"SUICIDE OF W. O. BREWSTER.
New York Manufacturer Hanged Himself in Cincinnati
CINCINNATI, Dec. 26. - William O. Brewster, a member of the firm of Bolger & Brewster of New York, committed suicide at a hotel here to-day by hanging himself. He had been here several days in the interest of his firm, and for the last two days he ahd been suffering severely from nervousness, which, it is believed, caused insanity."
"WESTFIELD, N.J., Dec. 26. - William O. Brewster was a member of the firm of Bolger & Brewster, commission merchants, of 256 and 258 Church Street, New York. His nephew, W. B. Elliott of 374 Dudley Avenue, Westfield, said to-night that his uncle, who lived in New York, went to Cincinnati three days ago on a business trip. His partner, Mr. Bolger, has been ill for two months, and the entire business was conducted by Mr. Brewster. The latter had been troubled with insomnia for some time. Mr. Elliott said there was no toher reason for his uncle to take his life. He was fairly well-to-do and had no business trouble of any kind. When he left for the West he looked upon the trip as a holiday, and said he expected to have a pleasant time.
Mr. Brewster was sixty years old and unmarried. He leaves three brothers, two of whom live in Newburg, N. Y. and the third, R. I. Brewster, in New York City."
