INMATE OF STATE HOSPITAL NO. 4 COMMITS SUICIDE BY DROWNING:
Wm. Woolridge, an inmate of State Hospital No. 4, at Farmington, committed suicide by drowning in the St. Francis river at Gruner hole, an eddy about three miles south of Farmington, either Thursday night or some time Friday.
It was first discovered that he had escaped Friday morning and was not seen any more until a party of picnicers, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Tetley and family, and Mr. and Mrs. Ed Klein and family discovered his body partly afloat Saturday afternoon.
Woolridge was from Stoddard county and had been in the hospital for about ten years. He had recovered sufficiently as to be given the privileges of a "trusty" and had charge of the billiard and pool hall of the hospital. He apparently became worse Thursday and ran away and nothing could be found of him until his body was discovered as above stated. He was about 32 years of age.
When found he had a rope tied about his neck and a loop which was evidence that he had a rock attached to it. His right temple and cheek was gashed, which is supposed to have been done when he jumped into the water. His body was taken from the river and removed to the Farmington Undertaking Co.'s parlors, prepared for burial and interred at the hospital cemetery.

LEAD BELT NEWS, Flat River, St. Francois Co. MO, Fri. July 27, 1923.
EDWARD GUSTAV WOLF:
Edward Gustav Wolf was born at Gayberg, a suburb of Heiderberg, Germany, November 2, 1843, and passed away from this life at his home in Bonne Terre, Mo., Friday morning, July 20th, 1923, at 3 o'clock. His parents were Franz and Emilie Wolf, his father having been a minister of the gospel. He was the last of a family of seven. His boyhood was spent in Germany, where he received a splendid education, having been a graduate of Hochberg, University of Baden, Germany. At the age of 21 he came to America, first going to Philadelphia where he remained for a short time, then going to Edwardsville, Ill., where he edited a newspaper for some years.. He was married April 24, 1879, to Miss Johannah Wehrstedt at Bismarck, Mo. In 1880 they came to Bonne Terre where they lived for the past 43 years. He conducted a tin, copper and sheet iron business here until 1914, when he was forced to retire from business on account of ill health. Since that time he lived quietly at home, devoting his time to his garden, to books and to his family. In his younger years he took an active part in the activities of the town, but after his health became impaired he was compelled to give up active work but never lost interest in affairs of the world. He was very widely read and kept up with events until less than two weeks before his death. In his daily life he was always generous, kindly, both in business and personal affairs. His love and devotion to his family was beautiful and the welfare of his wife and children were always first with him. He suffered much during the last years of his life but was patient and ever thoughtful of those near and dear to him for fear of troubling them. His death was due to old age, and though he is missed beyond words to express, his wife and children have the consolation of knowing that he is at rest and that pain and suffering are his no more.
Besides his wife, he leaves six children: Mrs. Emilie Miller, of this place; Louis Wolf, of Webster Groves, Mo.; F. W. Wolf, Gertrude, Caroline and Hugo, all of Bonne Terre; and three grandchildren. He was a member of the Evangelical Reformed Church and also had been a member of the Knights of Pythias Lodge for many years. The funeral service, which was very quiet in accordance with his wishes, was conducted at the home on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock by Rev. F. V. Stevens of the Congregational Church. "Nearer My God To Thee" and "One Sweetly Solemn Thought" were sung by the choir. The body was laid to rest in the Bonne Terre Cemetery, and in the presence of a large number who gathered to pay respect to the memory of this good man. His last resting place was made very beautiful with a mass of flowers sent by those who loved and honored him.
Mr. Stevens spoke appreciatively of Mr. Wolf's life work and character and expressed the belief that the next life takes up the present life where it leaves off at death, and that God will have fitting employment for the mind, heart, character and talents attained in the life on earth.

J. A. PERRY DIES SUDDENLY IN HOME IN ST. LOUIS:
J. A. Perry, well known locally, but better known here as "Capt" Perry, and "Bud" Perry, died suddenly at his home in St. Louis Monday afternoon, of apoplexy. He was past 70 years of age, but had really never been sick in his life and was more active than many men ten years or even twenty years younger than himself. He recently spent a couple of weeks in Flat River visiting his daughter, Mrs. Edw. Higgins.
J. A. Perry was closely associated with the developing of the lead industry in this section of the country. He was connected for a period of 37 years with the St. Joe Lead Co., in different capacities. For many years he was a mining captain, thus gaining the sobriquet of "Capt" Perry. He was well known in mining circles, both in official circles and among the rank and file of the men with whom he was associated in his work.
He retired from this work about 8 years ago and located in St. Louis, where he has since made his home. Mrs. Perry died Dec. 27th of last year. In a way, her death was almost as unexpected as that of her husband. She had been a semi-invalid for a couple of years, but with no seeming immediate danger of death. She was taken suddenly ill and lived less than two days after the attack.
The funeral of Capt. Perry was held Thursday afternoon at the family residence. He is survived by six daughters: Mrs. Higgins, of Flat River; Miss Nora Perry, in St. Louis; Misses Bertha and Etta Perry, in Chicago; and Mrs. John Dempsey and Miss Helen Perry, in New York. He also leaves three sons: Dr. Alfred and Armand, in St. Louis, and Gerard, in France.

Wilbur Sumpter, of Elvins, is in Bonne Terre Hospital, a victim of tetanus, and is said to be in a critical condition. He was taken to the hospital Tuesday morning, the hospital ambulance having been sent for his conveyance.
This dread disease developed as the result of an injury received Tuesday of last week. Sumpter, who is employed underground in No. 12 mine of the Federal Lead Co., fell 8 or 10 feet down an incline while at work. He fell with his weight on the right hand. The middle finger of this hand was so badly dislocated that the bone was all but protruding through the flesh. Dr. E. E. Whiteside, of Elvins, gave the injured man medical attention. He seemed to be making satisfactory progress toward recovery, having gone to the doctor's office Monday morning. Tetanus made its appearance Monday night.
Sumpter has a family living in Elvins.
