GEORGE MADER

Suicide -- On Wednesday of last week, April 27th George Frederick Mader of this city [Circleville, Pickaway Co], committed suicide by shooting himself. He left town that morning, and went to the residence of Adam Wagerly, in the northeast part of Circleville township, where he borrowed a shot-gun to kill some game. He started for the woods and the report of the gun was heard twice, but that was the last of him. On Saturday afternoon, a son of Mr. Wagerly came to town in search of Mader and the gun when he learned that Mader had not been home since Wednesday. Suspicions were aroused, and young Wagerly went home at once, and in the woods about thirty yards from the barn, found the body of Mader lying beside a log, on one end of which was his ammunition. From the position of the body, he must have laid down on his back, used the ramrod to fire the gun, raising his head and receiving the charge in his forehead, making a large hold and tearing away part of his head. The gun was heavily loaded with buckshot. When discovered his hands still clenched the weapon. The body was brought to this city, Saturday evening, and Jason Case, Coroner, held an inquest, the jury rendering a verdict that the deceased came to his death by a gunshot wound inflicted by himself, while in a state of insanity. The deceased had been subject to mental aberration for considerable length of time, and frequently threatened self-destruction. He was a son of Jacob Mader, Senior, and 28 years of age, was a baker by trade, and formerly kept the Montana Grocery, capitulating to the Crusaders last Spring. He had a wife and child, but his wife had not been living with him lately. His funeral took place Sunday afternoon, from his father's residence.

MADGE MADER

Dreamless Sleep Comes Suddenly to Mrs. J. Geo Mader after Brief Illness. -- This community was shocked Monday morning when the news became known that Mrs. J. G. Mader had passed away Sunday night at her home on E. Mansfield St. Inquiry proved that it was only to true. Her passing was very sudden. She ate dinner Sunday at the usual time and appeared to be in the best of health up to 2:00 o'clock she was cheerful and apparently well, but at that hour she suffered a stroke of paralysis and lapsed into unconsciousness from which she never rallied. She lingered until 11 o'clock in the evening, when she passed quietly and without a struggle into that undisturbed repose from which there is no waking to mortality. Funeral services will be held from the residence on E. Mansfield St. at 10 o'clock Tuesday forenoon, conducted by Rev. W. F. Helle of Fostoria, who is supplying the place of Rev. J. W. Kuntz with the German Lutheran Church of Good Hope during the pastors absence on his European tour. The funeral cortege will leave the house about 1:15 p.m. for the short line depot, and will be taken on the 1:45 p.m. train to Circleville. Services will be held in that city at her mother's home on Wednesday morning followed by interment at Forest Cemetery. Madge Mader was the daughter of Jacob and Magdalena Mader, and was born in Circleville on July 27, 1858, her age at death being 48 years, 10 months, and 5 days. She grew to womanhood there and made her home there until her marriage. By travel and study she acquired culture in a high degree, and was fitted for any position in society. She was united in marriage June 9, 1903, to J. Geo. Mader of this city, and has since made her home in Bucyrus. Here she immediately took a recognized place in society, her amiable qualities and true refinement winning friends whenever she became known. Brief as was her residence in this city, she became widely acquainted and was esteemed Christian lady, family member, and member of the German Lutheran Church. She was baptized at infancy and confirmed at a proper age as a communicant member, remaining active in every good word and work until her death. Her kindly heart and pleasant disposition added to the warm affection felt for her by those about her. always cheerful and jovial, she was a true helpmate and wife. She was apparently strong and hearty and returned only a couple of days before the fatal stroke from a four week's tour of California taken in company with her husband. She appeared well and hearty and seemed to have derived much benefit from the trip. Besides her husband and his family, she leaves her mother, 4 brothers and 2 sisters to mourn her death. With them a wide circle of friends join their tears for one they esteemed and loved. By her sudden death they are again reminded of the uncertainty of life and the sure coming of the grim reaper, whose shadowy presence is so often unsuspected until the mists of the dark valley have closed about the form of our loved ones and they are hidden forever from our view. But beyond the shadows there is light and for the silent traveler of the lonely pathway the eternal day has dawned. There is no death, "The boundless universe is life."

GERTRUDE MITCHELL

HEART PIERCED BY ONE SHOT. COLORED WOMAN MURDERED BY HER JEALOUS SUITOR - Lewis Garnes of This City Believed to Have Committed the Crime - Tragedy Happened in Columbus, and Police are Searching for Him -- Mrs. Gertrude Mitchell, 22 and colored, employed as a cook at the home of Arthur Marx, 819 Franklin Avenue, Columbus, was shot thru the heart in the kitchen of the house soon after 6 o'clock Friday night and died almost instantly. The woman's slayer is believed to have been Lewis Garnes, of this city, and the local police were notified to look our for him. There were no witnesses to the killing as the members of the Marx household were in various parts of the house awaiting a summons to dinner. They were startled to hear a shot. All rushed to the kitchen. Mrs. Mitchell was found lying prostrate on the floor, with a stream of blood reddening her dress over her heart. Mr. Marx raised the woman's head and tried to make her speak. She struggled for a moment to gain an erect posture and then fell back dead. Mitchell and his wife have been separated for some time. However, it is said that there had existed no quarrel between them. The pair have one child, a boy four years old. The only theory the Columbus police have is that Garnes came between Mitchell and his wife, and that he had been paying her attention for some months. These, it is said, were distasteful to her, and that she repulsed him. Jealously is believed to have been a possible motive, but this has not been established.
