Kinney, JP Obit iron county Boatwright, John Iron County Register Newspaper, Ironton, Missouri, April 6, 1871, Page 3. Suicide--On last Saturday a young man named JOHN BOATWRIGHT committed suicide by shooting himself through the heart. For some time past he had been threatening to perpetrate the act which we are chronicling, and on one or two occasions endeavored ineffectually to procure poison from Dr. Haller, who, suspecting his intentions, refused him. On last Saturday morning, young Boatwright took a rifle and went out to an old farm, about 2 miles west of Pilot Knob formerly occupied by the Boatwright family, but now inhabited by an old man engaged in hauling wood for the Pilot Knob Company. Entering the unoccupied house, he placed the breech of the rifle upon the floor, with the muzzle to his left breast, and discharged the gun by touching the trigger with the ramrod. When discovered, in the afternoon, he was lying upon his face, with the ramrod upon one side of him, and the rifle on the other. Such are the facts as presented before the coroner's jury which sat upon his body on Saturda! y evening. The causes which led to the rash act are, dissipation and disappointment in some love affair. The deceased leaves a mother and two sisters, who reside at Pilot Knob. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
