GEORGE HEISER
WORRY AFFECTS MIND;SUICIDE
George Heiser, Mishicot Man, Ends Life With Shotgun in Dooryard of Home
GOSSIP IS SAID TO HAVE BEEN CAUSE OF TRAGEDY
Temporarily insane from worry over gossip which he feared would injure him in the eyes of his friends, it is said, George Heiser, a well known young farmer at Mishicot, committed suicide Sunday by firing the contents of a double barreled shotgun into his body, death resulting in a half hour after the act. Heiser was 26 years of age and well and favorably known.
Heiser stood in the dooryard at his home, sic miles north of Two Rivers when he fired the fatal shot and his wife witnessed the tragedy from the house and rushed to the assistance of her husband, but too late to prevent the deed or to save his life death resulting a half hour later. Heiser had worried over gossip which had been circulated and being of sensitive nature, this matter so preyed upon his mind that it is believed he became mentally unbalanced and the suicide was the result.
A widow, a bride of less than a year, survives Heiser whose suicide has stirred the village of Mishicot and vicinity. An investigation and punishment of those responsible for the reports which are said to have annoyed Heiser and led to the tragedy is threatened. No inquest was held. The funeral will be held Wednesday.
Heiser was one of the progressive young farmers of the county and his death is a great shock to family and friends.

Last Sunday the sad news was received here that Mr. George Heiser shot himself in the abdomen in a fit of depression. Medical help was called but the doctor could only act to relieve the pain, and the unfortunate man died shortly. The incident took place a few miles from here on the farm of Ira Steltzer, Heiser's father-in-law, with whom Heiser and his wife resided. In addition to his wife he is survived by a sister, Mrs. W. Rathe, who lives a few miles from here.
The funeral was held Wednesday in the Saxonburg cemetery.
