Jasper County Democrat, Volume 18, Number 10, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 May 1915 — Suicide at Roselawn. [ARTICLE]

Suicide at Roselawn.

Edward Lavelle, aged 57 years, who lived with the family of his sister, Mrs. Irving Best, and husband at Roselawn, committed suicide some time during the night Saturday night by shooting himself in the heart with a revolver. Despondency over ill health is supposed to have been the cause of the rash act. An account of the matter will be found in our Roselawn items. Undertaker W. J. Wright was called up there Sunday forenoon to care for the remains, which were shipped to Illinois for burial.
