McKinley Wilson, aged 36 of Lewistown committed suicide at an early hour Monday morning at a rooming house in Canton. He used a deadly combination of chloroform and gas to end his life. It is believed he had been dead about four hours.
The dead man left a note addressed to the coroner which read as follows:
Coroner: This is sure suicide, no one to blame. Notify my sister, Mrs. Fred Robertson at Ipava, Ill., who will probably have my body taken to Lewistown for burial.
Mack Wilson.
An added paragraph which apparently was to the man’s wife read as follows:
I have mailed a letter to you for all the folks and it will explain. Please forgive me and I know God has forgiven me, love to all. Goodbye. — Mack.
Wilson had been a traveling representative with the Brown-Bieglow advertising agency, and had order blanks on that concern. He has been divorced from his wife since May, 1925, and was last seen at Ipava last week where he visited his sister there.
