Chestnuts, an old soldier who lived four miles east of Reserve committed suicide Saturday morning by hanging himself to a cherry tree. Mr. Chestnuts received his pension, about $25, Friday at Reserve and drove up to Falls City to spend some of the money. While there under the influence of liquor he was robbed of every cent. Saturday morning he got over his drunk and went back to the saloon where he had been the night before and asked for a drink. It was refused him and he got into his wagon and drove off in the direction of home. When a few miles from town he drove up under a cherry tree, threw a hitch rein over a limb, tied it about his neck and then jumped off the wagon. The fall broke his neck, bringing death instantly. A boy discovered the body dangling from the tree and reported to the sheriff at Falls City. The body was cut down and taken to the home, where funeral services were held, conducted by Rev. Wark, of Reserve. Mr. Chestnuts leaves a wife and a large family of children. He was about 65 years old. He probably took his life while in a fit of remorse. His daughter, Mrs. John Weddle, and her husband, Mr. Weddle, both died at Reserve a short time ago. -Fri Feb 22, 1901 Brown County World, P.15.
