Committed Suicide
Cleveland Eckels Shoots Himself at Bonnybrook
Resided Near New Kingston But Was at Home of His Sister, Mrs. William Line, When He Committed Rash Deed - Rullet (sic) Passed Through Brain With Fatal Effect.
Disappointment in his love affair with a Carlisle girl is said to have been the cause for which Cleveland Eckels, a young man residing a short distance north of New Kingstown, took his life on Sunday evening. During the past fall he has been residing with his brother-in-law, William Line, at Bonnybrook, and a former rural mail carrier of this place. He was assisting Mr. Line with his fall work and was a very faithful helper. Mrs. Line is his sister.
Last evening Mr. and Mrs. Line went out driving, and returned to their home about 8:30 o'clock, and found the young man lying on the sofa unconscious, with a bullet hole in his forehead and a 38 calibre revolver in his hand. He had placed the cushions about him before the rash act. Dr. W. S. Ruch, of this place, was immediately summoned, but he was beyond the reach of medical skill and death ensued about 12.30 o'clock last night. It is thought the shooting was done about 6.30 o'clock.
He had locked all the doors as though no one was at home, and placed the key in the wash house where his sister could get it.
The young man is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel E. Eckels, who resides north of New Kingstown. He was aged 19 years and very highly respected. His amiable and cheerful disposition won for him a host of friends, who are sorry to learn of his untimely death. He is survived by his parents and the following sisters and brother: Mrs. Line, Bonnybrook; Theresa, and a small sister at home, and a brother, Penn, in Goldfield, Iowa.
The remains will be taken to his home near New Kingstown. The funeral will be strictly private, on Thursday, and interment will be made in the Longsdorf graveyard, at that place.
