One of the saddest things occurred near Guernsey Wednesday evening, while Mr. George Dappen on his way home from carrying the mail decided to end his life by driving up into Mr. John Shull's field and hanging himself to a large cotton wood tree with a hitch strap he had taken from his horse. Mr. Dappen has been a mail carrier here for the past four years and has only been absent from his work three days. It seemed as though Mr. Dappen had not been feeling so well as usual and Wednesday eve about nine o'clock his wife telephoned to see if he had left Guernsey. She was much alarmed at this time for he always telephoned to her if he thought he was going to be late but Mrs. Dappen thinking he might have stopped to talk to some of the neighbors on his way home decided to wait awhile longer before she sent out a search for him. But the minutes seemed like hours to her so she soon sent out a number of the neighbors to search for him but no where could he be found until Thursday morning about seven o'clock. Mr. Edd Murphy thinking he would take a ride out on the bottom rode before breakfast stopped at Mr. B. Cordes' and got him to go along. They no sooner had started down the road until they saw a track into Mr. Shull's field and they began to think then he was surely there so they road into the field, carefully looking around, and they soon saw where Mr. Dappen had ended his life by hanging to a tree. His horse was tied to the wire fence and very much cut up with the barb wire. Mr. Murphy brought the horse home with him and also told of the sad thing which had happened. It was a great shock to the people of this community. The funeral sermon took place at the South Side Brethren church of Brooklyn and laid to rest in the Brooklyn cemetery.
