Marion County Farmer Ends Life At Farm

Funeral services for Lewis West 69 were held at Runnels with burial in Runnels cemetery. He hanged himself at his farm six miles west of Percy after a battle with cancer and ill health. West, a prominent Marion county farmer and stockman, owned hundreds of acres near Percy and had recently become despondent. He told his family he might not live three days and set about arranging his affairs, then was found by his son Ben after stepping from a work bench in a shed. Death was ruled as strangulation.
