Read More	Roy Cain, a resident of Jefferson Township for nearly forty years committed suicide Saturday morning, March 7th, by shooting himself with a shotgun. Mr. Cain had been in ill health for some time and became despondent. He also had suffered reverses the past few years over which he brooded until he was affected mentally. Saturday morning he had accompanied his son Earl to Denver and while the latter was looking after some business matters in the implement house. Mr. Cain went to the harness shop where there was some shotguns for sale. Pick a single barrel, twelve gage gun, he told the proprietor that his son Melvin was coming up from Waterloo Sunday and that he wanted to try a gun and if this one suited him he would buy it. This was satisfactory and he went out with the gun and two shells that he purchased. Going east a block he turned south to an alley, then proceeding west to the in the rear of the drug store. He left one shell on the seat of the toilet and put the other one in the gun. Placing the muzzle of the gun to his left breast he leaned over and with a stick he had picked up he pulled the trigger. When the son missed the father he notified the marshall and mayor the condition the father was in and a search was made of the main street of Denver. Fully twenty-five men joined in the search. His body was soon found slumped down in the corner of the toilet, dead. He had carefully placed the gun and the stick on the seat before passing away. Roy Cain was born in Waverly sixty-one years ago and he lived in that place until he was married when he was 23 years of age. With his bride he moved to the farm two miles southwest of Denver and this continued to be his home until his death. His wife is a sister of William and Reuben Meeker and she survives, as do the two sons, Melvin of Waterloo, and Earl of Denver, and one daughter. Funeral services were held Tuesday, March 10. This is the text that was printed on page five in the Friday, March 20, 1931 edition of The Oelwein Daily Register, Oelwein, Fayette County, Iowa.
