Other From Brooklyn -- A.S. Cramer, one of Clay Township's best citizens, committed suicide by hanging, on last Saturday morning. He leaves a wife and 5 or 6 children. "Hanged Himself -- Last Saturday morning, at an early hour, A.S. Cramer, a well known and highly respected citizen of Clay Township, [Morgan] County, arose and went to his barn, as was his custom, to feed his stock. Shortly afterwards, his son went to the barn and was horrified to see his father hanging by the neck dead. The coroner was notified, and an inquest was held. Before hanging himself, he wrote a few words on a blank leaf of an almanac. From this, it was very plain that he was insane on the subject of religion. He owned a well stocked farm about 2 miles East of Centerton and about the same distance South of Brooklyn."
