| Headline | Allen Perryman Committs Suicide |
| Text | Allen Perryman committed suicide at his home near Scholten Saturday evening by shooting himself with a revolver. The ball entered the neck and ranged downward causing death almost instantly. The cause of the rash act was attributed to poor health. He told his daughter to bring his pistol to him so he could examine it to see if it was in good working order. The daughter did as she was bid, not suspecting his purpose and left the room. In a few moments a shot was heard, and when the family reached his bedside he was breathing his last. He was about 55 years old. Marionville Free Press. He has a large number of relatives and friends in Barry County that will be sorry to hear of this. |
