WILLIAMS, Joseph
------Failing to get relief after seven operations for bladder
trouble and facing knowledge that another submission to the
surgeons knife was inevitable, Joseph Williams, aged 42 years,
a well-known resident of Evanston, committed suicide Saturday
last by taking an overdose of strychnine in
whiskey.
Mr. Williams had been in great pain for several weeks
previous to his death.
He frequently announced his intention to end his
suffering by suicide if no relief was obtainable. Because of his
despondency he was watched closely by Mrs. Williams and other
relatives, and their vigils were successful until
Saturday.
About 10 oclock in the morning he went to an outhouse
in the rear of the family home on Front
street and swallowed the
poison. He then
returned to the house and told his wife what he had done. Mrs. Williams summoned
Dr. F. H. Harrison, and tried to administer an emetic to the
dying man who refused to take the mixture, and repeated
several times his determination to die. He repeated his
refusal to accept an antidote to Dr. Harrison, and sank
rapidly until the end came at 1:35 a. m.

avail. It was the
third operation that the young man had undergone in the past
two months and a half, the first attack coming on him about
the first of January.

bowels.

months ago, all of this time being spent in this city with his
parents. He was a
most lovable and obedient son, his first duty in life being
the welfare and happiness of his mother. He was popular among a

also suffered the loss of her husband about four months ago,
the sympathy of the entire community goes out in her hour of
