More Than th< Proilical Could Stand.
UPPER SAN DUSKY, O., June 17.'97 Robert Straw, a prominent young man of Carey, was found dying yesterday in the barn of his father-in-law, Joseph Roll. He had taken poison with suicidal intent and died while the doctors were trying to save him. He was a son of the late David Straw, one of the wealthiest citizens of this county. He squandered his inheritance and the cause of suicide was evidently despondency.

Marion Daily Star, The | Marion, Ohio | Thursday, June 17, 1897 (excerpt)
He was found unconscious from the effects of laudinum and morphine
