Daily Oregonian of March 7, 1863 copied at Oregon Historical Society Library, Portland, OR Possible suicide of a boy - a correspondent writes that a son of Mr. H. Norton, about 14 years old, residing 4 miles East of Belpassi in Marion Co., went from his father's home to cut wood last Monday and not returning at night a search was made and he was found dead having hung himself with a rawhide bowstring. No reason for such an act is suggested and that it is thought that possibly he did not expect a fatal result.
