Young Man Hangs Himself in Barn Hay Mow
Stanton Cary, 22, of Whitneyville Massena township, hanged himself between three and seven yesterday evening. Found by his brother in the barn, the rope around a rafter, death pronounced self-inflicted. Despondent over ill health and domestic troubles, he had been married last Christmas to Magegarell, but the couple had been estranged. He leaves father, mother, two brothers, two sisters, and his wife.
