"Our community was shocked to hear of the death of Earnest Buck last Monday morning. He killed himself by drinking carbolic acid. The causes that led to the rash deed are unknown. He was subject to fits of melancholy sometimes aggravated by intemperance in drinking and it is said that disappointment in a love affair had something to do with it.
The deceased was in his 22nd year and was a young man of fine physical build, generous hearted and popular. He was the son of Myron Buck. His sad ending is deeply regretted and sincere sympathy is extended the family and friends. Burial took place in the Paola cemetery last Tuesday."
