Mr. Brown arose and started out about five o'clock, saying "Goodbye" as he went. His son, Lemuel, about 13 years old, hearing him say this arose and followed him, his tracks leading to the woods, perhaps 40 rods distance.
From the woods he went to the bar which is perhaps 12 rods from the house wehre his son found him haning, and cut the body down. A neighbor, Marion Swan, helped to bring him to the house and though there seemed a little sign of life, it lasted but for a moment.
