Uley Adler
We are sorry to have to report the death of Uley Adler, a well known
farmer of this neighborhood.
He committed suicide by hanging himself with a trace chain in his barn
Tuesday morning, September 20. The body was discovered by two of his
daughters. His wife and daughter, Miss Alma, had brought the smaller
children to school and had gone to see his niece, who was critically ill
and were not at home when he did the rash act. It was known that he had
attempted to end his life about three months ago, by taking Paris Green,
but he was thought to have become reconciled. Troubles within his own
household are supposed to be the cause of his self-destruction. Mr.
Adler was about 50 years old. He was an honest hardworking man. He was a
good neighbor. He provided well for his family, owned his home and had
money ahead. He is survived by his wife, eight daughters, two sons, his
father, three brothers, and four sisters. He was a member of the Baptist
Church. His funeral was preached at the church Thursday. Interment was
in the Pt. Pleasant Cemetery.
