GARDNER, 71 ILL, DESPONDENT, HANGS HIMSELF J Kinsey Gardner, resident of Villisca many years, took his life by hanging himself Monday afternoon in a tool house at the rear of his home in southeast Villisca where he lived alone. He was 71 years old. He was found at 7:15 o'clock p.m. hanging from a rafter of the building by his son Sam who stopped at his fathers home as he was returning work to his own home. Not finding his father in the house he thought he might have fallen in the yard and went in search of him and discovered his lifeless body in the tool house, suspended by a half-inch rope, his feet touching the floor. Coroner Ray Sutphen was called and took the body down. No inquest was held. Handicapped by Stroke Mr. Gardner had been despondent since the death of his wife, to whom he was very devoted, last Dec. 23, and a stroke of paralysis a few years ago which greatly handicapped him added to his discomfort. His despondency and his physical condition are believed to have been responsible for his taking his life.
