He had been drinking heavily and was despondent having separated parents and reliance on his own resources. He borrowed the revolver at about 9:30 and went to his room then to the school grounds where he fired the fatal shot around 10:30. An earlier incident of attempted death by own action by a girl nearby had circulated among youths and likely influenced him. He hailed from an old Van Buren County family. his grandfather William Wilson was the county's oldest living settler since 1836.
