The body, dangling from the end of a rope that had been thrown across a rafter in the barn, was found by the wife less than an hour after the man had ended his life. Cutting the rope, Mrs. Oberly worked frantically over the body in an effort to restore life. A physician was summoned and Hardin-co coroner D. Emmett Johnson was called from Kenton. After a careful examination, Coroner Johnson gave a verdict of suicide by hanging. No definite motive, however, could be advanced. Mr. Oberly had been in bad health, it was said, and there was no financial difficulties, it was reported. Indications were that the man had thrown a rope across a rafter in the barn, placed his head thru a loop in one end and then dropped to his knees. Mr. Oberly was a native of Berne, Switzerland, having been born in that country 74 years ago. He came to America early in life settling on a farm in Washington-tp. During his long residence here he was active in agricultural circles and was well known and highly respected by countless friends who deeply mourn his tragic death. Besides the widow, seven children, four sons and three daughters survive. Funeral services will be held from the Dola Lutheran church Saturday at 1:30 p.m. in charge of Rev. Frank Dell with interment in the Dola cemetery. (published in The Lima News, Thursday, March 20, 1930)
