S. J. LOGAN ENDS LIFE
---
OLD RESIDENT OF GLADWIN TOWNSHIP BLOWS HEAD OFF

DESPONDENT OVER BUSINESS TROUBLES

SEEKS RELIEF BY SHOTGUN ROUTE

   Sherman J. Logan, many years a resident of Gladwin township, put an end to his own life Monday morning at 7 o'clock. He stepped outside his door and placed the muzzle of a single barreled shotgun to his mouth and pulled the trigger with his cane, the charge blowing off his head. Mr. Logan had been despondent over business troubles, to which his rash deed is attributed. Last spring his house burned and other difficulties had worried him until he sought relief by ending his life. Mr. Logan was a G.A.R. man. He was born in Ohio, and came to Gladwin county many years ago. He leaves a wife, also daughter and sister. The funeral was held Wednesday at the M. E. church, Wagarville.
