On Friday night, the youngest son of ex-commissioner Griffith, of Richland, aged about 19 years, was killed by a train on the Lake Shore road, at Corunna station.

In company with other boys, he had been in the habit of jumping on freight trains and riding to Kendallville, for a spree and returning when opportunity offered.

The inevitable train came along during the night, and he was instantly killed. The bare recital of the above facts is a stronger lecture on temperance than could be made by the most eloquent tongue in the country.

In the ever-changing panorama of life, circumstances and events lead people to speak and do things which seem of little consequence at the time the words are spoken or the deeds are done. As time goes on these words and deeds are often recalled by recurring events, one of which is brought to mind in the death of the late Don Lawrence.

Some, and we may say, many years ago, a number of men learned the trade of masonry, among them being Mr. Lawrence. John Picker, the late George Picker of Kansas and the late Charles Picker of this city. The father of the Picker Bros. was a mason and came to this city from Fremont, Ohio, in 1864 with his family when the old court house was erected. Naturally the sons followed the same vocation.

When the late Charles Picker passed away, Mr. Lawrence, who died a short time later, was secured by John Picker to build the vault in which the body of his fellow mason was to be placed. While at the cemetery and in the presence of the brother, John Picker, Mr. Lawrence remarked that "folks are passing out at a pretty lively rate now. Wonder who will be next. Perhaps either one of us."

Little did he think when making this remark that within a very few days his companion would be called upon to build a vault into which his body would be places. But that is what come to pass. The late Mr. Lawrence took a hard cold while building the Picker vault and this cold may have had much to do with his demise in the short time after doing the work until his death.

Joseph Becher

Lived in Corunna many years and tires of life. Death was instantaneous. Ill health for some time caused him to become melancholy, shots himself in hearing distance of several persons.

The town of Corunna was stirred to a considerable degree of excitement last Friday afternoon when the report was circulated that Joseph Becher had committed suicide by shooting himself in the right temple with a thirty-two caliber revolver. Death was believed to be instantaneous, and person hearing the report of the revolver rushed to his side and found life extinct, with a stream of blood flowing down the dead man’s face.

Despondency over ill health, is attributed as the cause of the act. He had threatened to take his life several times, and had made several unsuccessful attempts. The revolver with which he shot himself was brand new and had never been shot before, judging from appearances. But one shot was fired, the remaining chambers of the revolver being filled with cartridges.

The deceased had been a resident of Corunna for many years and was never married. For some years he engaged in the confectionery business and conducted an ice cream parlor until recently.

On the morning after the fatal shooting he went to the east portion of the town, and apparently meditation for a long time, sat beneath an apple tree near a vacant residence. Howard Baird and Walter Leasure, two small boys, who were playing nearby, saw him flashing the revolver, but did not think he was preparing to kill himself.

The deceased was a highly respected citizen of Corunna, and his demise has cast a gloom over the town. He lived alone, and part of the time boarded at a local hotel.

The body was removed to the home of an only sister. Mrs. Albert Wise, and Coroner Hinklin, of Garrett, was summoned and held an inquest late in the afternoon and pronounced death due to a shot from a revolver at this own hands. The deceased also had a brother, Peter Becher, of Corunna. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon and was largely attended. (Re: Obituary Book, vol 11, pg 13)

Carl Wimer of 107 South Baxter street, Auburn, committed suicide shortly before 1:30 p.m. Tuesday in the basement of his home with a shotgun blast that shattered the entire left side and top of his head.

County Coroner Kenneth Kaylor of Auburn reported death was instantaneous. The charge from the 12 gauge gun entered the upper left side of his head and tore of the left and upper part of the skull, the coroner said.

Mr. Kaylor reported that Mr. Wimer apparently committed suicide because of despondency over his health. He had been in poor health for several years.

There was no suicide note found. Relatives said he had made no threats of suicide.

According to the coroner, he returned from his work at the Auburn Rubber Corporation at noon Tuesday and went immediately to the upstairs of his home. His daughter-in-law Mrs. Carl Wimer, Jr., and her small daughter were the only persons in the home. Mrs. Wimer said he came downstairs and went to the basement. She reported he said nothing to her.

Shortly afterward she heard the report of the shotgun. She told Mr. Kaylor she was afraid to investigate and ran to a neighbor’s home, where help was summoned.

The coroner said the shotgun blast has strewn parts of the head over a large section of the basement. Mr. Wimer apparently leaned over the barrel of the gun while standing and pulled the trigger, he reported. The gun was kept in the basement.

His wife Mrs. Ruth Wimer, was at her place of work at the Messenger Corporation when the suicide occurred. His son Carl Jr., was also working. With his wife and daughter they occupy the Wimer residence with his parents.

A lifelong resident of the Auburn community, Mr. Wimer was born east of Auburn in May in 1896, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Wimer. He came to Auburn as a young man and after his marriage, operated for a time the elevator on South Cedar street. He was engaged for several years in the oil business, operating the former D-X gasoline station on East Seventh and Mobil Oil Station on South Wayne street. For the past several years, he was employed at the Auburn Rubber Corp.

Surviving, besides the widow, son and granddaughter, all at home, are two sisters. Mrs. Herman Brown of 708 South VanBuren street, Auburn , and Mrs. John Souder of north of Auburn; and two brothers, A. L. Wimer of South Wayne St., Auburn, and Howard Wimer of Newark, O.

Knott

The death of by accident of Mr. John A Knott, which occurred on the farm of the late George Closson, three miles southeast of Pleasant Lake, Thursday, Jan 23, reminds all that "in the midst of life we are in death." He left his home in good health in the morning to engage in hauling wood, and apparently at about noon, he was on the way from the timber towards the house, probably sitting upon the load, coming down a circular road towards the lane, the front wheels, on a down grade, dropped into a hole caused by a tree having blown out of root, and without doubt caused Mr. Knott a bruised on his right eye, it is suppose that the horse on the off side kicked him, breaking his neck. There was a rise in the ground and two low stumps on either side of the road, which stopped the wagon with the hind wheels still in the hole, and when found he was under the fore part of the wagon face downward, his head between two large roots of the stump at the right of the road, and the front wheel on the off side standing on top of the roots across his neck. There was not room enough between the roots for his head and neck without causing injury, although it is concluded that life was extinct when the wheel pinned him fast. The lines were drawn down under the off end of the double trees, in front of the single trees, and fast under his body, It was nearly three o’clock when three boys, Feagley, Mortorff and Lacy, who were out hunting, found the team standing as above indicated. They at once gave the alarm and unloaded the wood so that the body could be extricated. The scene of the accident was near three fourths of a mile from the house, and no one was nearer excepting Mr. David Trasher, who started from an adjoining field with a load of wood at the same time. He heard Mr. Knott speak to his team, perhaps as he fell, but was too far away to know of the accident. The wife and mother were prostrated at the sad news, and his parents were notified here by telegram the same evening. The news was peculiarly sad, owing to the critical health of his father, Mr. H. H. Knott. A very large gathering as embied at his funeral on Sunday. His father was unable to be present. Many friends from here, where the deceased and his wife were so well and favorably known, attended. Rev. W. O. Butler preached the discourse.

Killed by Lightning.

Sad Death of Tony Palmer at Garrett.

An unusual commotion was noticed on our streets Monday evening, when it was reported that a man had been struck by lightning and instantly killed at Garrett, our neighboring county town, and that several others has been seriously injured by the shock. Investigation substantiated the rumor, and the particulars of the frightful disaster, as we have gleamed them from various sources, are here given.

During a lull after the heavy rain and thunder storm of Monday afternoon, while several groups of people were standing around the streets of Garrett, thinking that the storm had about subsided and wholly unmindful of any danger, there came a deafening clap of thunder instantly accompanied by a vivid flash of lightning which dealt a fatal blow to Anthony Palmer and prostrated seven persons in the little party with whom he was conversing, namely: William Woodside, John O’Reilly, B. D. Thomas and little son, Mr. Moss, a miller, George Redecker and Frank Baker. These parties were standing on the sidewalk in front of Mr. Bicknell’s drug-store, and each one of then was more or less injured,--Woodside and O’Reilly more seriously then the others. Tony Palmer the victim, doubtless had no knowledge of the cause of his death, as it is said to have been instantaneous; and this fact only tends to reader his death more appalling because, while we all would die a painless death when our time comes, still, we all desire to be appraised of its approach and have an inborn horror of being thus ushered into _____ without a moment’s warning.

Several person who were unaffected by the shock, though standing on the opposite side of the street, say that they could distinctly see a ball of fire making the descent several seconds before it struck; that it was as large as an ordinary cocoa-nut, and that it tore away the corner of the building, passed through the awning and struck the deceased on the shoulder, turning him partly around before he fell, though he uttered not a sound.

Anthony Palmer, the deceased, was a man respected by the community in which he lived, being an honorable and industrious man who was on an even footing with the world and had just succeeded, by economy and perseverance, in establishing a nice little paying business in the shoemaking line. He was 32 years of age and married. His wife surviving him with no children and for her the sincerest sympathy is expressed. The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church here in Auburn, Tuesday afternoon at 3 o’clock; Rev. H. Johnson conducting the ceremony.

Tony Palmer, as was familiarly called, was well known in this place, having friends here who knew him intimately and who speak of him only in terms of praise and regret. (Re: Auburn Courier—3 Jun 1880)

Tired of Life

Early last Saturday morning, at his farm one-half mile southwest of Corunna, in Richland township, Richard Dearborn breathed his last, and by his own hand. He was found at about ten o’clock, by his wife, suspended by the neck with a halter-strap, in a corn house near his dwelling. Mr. Dearborn was about 53 years of age, an old and much respected resident of Richland township, having lived for 29 years on the farm which he owned at the time of his death; he was held in the highest esteem by each of his neighbors, and was, in a word, an upright man and consistent christian. At times he has been subject to spells of melancholy and temporary aberration of the mind, to which alone is attributed the cause of his act. He leaves a devoted wife, who is herself about distracted, but no children. (Re: Auburn Courier—18 Mar 1880)
