Commits Suicide RANDOLPH TIMES: Wednesday evening the dead body of John Bauman* was found in the road west of McLean near the farm of ?? Marsh. ...
The Pierce county authorities held an inquest at McLean Thursday at 9 o'clock, the verdict being death by suicide and no cause for the act was brought out at the hearing.
Mr. Burman was a man that would be the last to take his own life is the opinion of his neighbors and friends. He came here from Iowa 4 or 5 years ago, buying the farm a mile east and four north where he lived. Last summer he bought a farm near Osmond at $75 an acre, and some seem to think that he worried over this last deal. He was about 25 years old and leaves a wife but no children.
On the day of his death Mr. Burman started from home for Randolph on business, but he did not stop here. Barney Leiting saw him pass his place about noon going west. As his [b]ody was found on the Osmond road it is evident he had started for that place. His wife was worried over his long absence and walked to town to find him. The news of his death was a terrible shock to her.
The funeral will probably be held Friday.
d. ~December 24 or 31, 1913(The above is an abbreviated version of what actually appeared in THE MAGNET MAIL. The full text, containing details of what those who found the body saw, may not be suitable for the faint of heart.)
