I just happened to read this message and was shocked to find the note about Thayer resident John Ben 59, who hung himself at his farm on Nov 10, 1976. I believe him to be John Beu from Prussia. I have his date of death as 1887 but if he had commited suicide then maybe the family...I don't know. Is there anything else about this John Ben in the paper afterwards or maybe earlier in 1868 until 76? The family is quite large and also connected by marriage to the Fred Scheel/Sheel family. I sure hope you are still on-line! With fingers & tosed crossed! Doris
