Death of J. C. Farley ~ Lucas County, Iowa
The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, June 3, 1909
Word comes from Belinda that J.C. FARLEY committed suicide there, last
Friday morning, by hanging himself in the barn.This occurred not far from
7:00 o'clock in the morning.The cause or causes which led up to this
tragedy are mere matters of conjecture but it is probably that they were the
result of a diseased imagination as his mind had been affected at times for
years.He had a wife and a grown up family of children, all being married
save one.
The funeral was held at the church north of Belinda, on Sunday afternoon.
