John Panton Jr., 39 years old, an investment broker, committed suicide early today in his apartment on the tenth floor of 151 East Eightieth Street by shooting himself in the chest with a hunting rifle, the trigger of which he had operated by means of a ribbon he had attached to his foot. His office was located at No. 1 Wall Street.
John Panton's wife, Marjorie Brown Panton's parents, Mr. and Mrs. George C. Brown were guests for dinner on that evening. They were also house guests that evening staying at the John Panton NYC residence. At dinner, Marjorie Panton and her parents disclosed to John Panton that she would be divorcing and leaving him. John Panton, Jr. was a polite, honorable man. The couple did not have two children (as erroneously reported in the NYT, they actually had two Scottie dogs.) John Panton, Jr. like so many other Wall St. brokers born of the Victorian mores, dispatched himself rather than declaring bankruptcy.
As for the care that Mr. and Mrs. George C. Brown and their daughter Marjorie Brown Panton showed to her late husband John Panton, Jr. and his family - aside from a phone call to his mother, Sophia MacDonald Panton, living in Portland, Oregon to announce his death by suicide, a funeral was held in New York as referenced above. There was no disclosure of John Panton, Jr. final resting place - no one knows what happened to his remains - that includes the funeral establishment where his service was held.
The personal property effects of John Panton, Jr. were substantial including a oil of canvas of the Panton family tree from Scotland. John Panton's sister, Dorothy Panton Phoenix of Davenport, Iowa, called his widow, Marjorie Brown Panton, to request the return of the Panton family geneology tree to Panton family members. Mrs. Marjorie Panton refused to return the painting. It is understood that Marjorie Brown Panton remarried to a person in New York City or New England.
The Panton family continues to search for the final resting place of John Panton, Jr. and the Panton Scot family tree painting.
