Erwin Foreman Commits Suicide in Parents' Home
Motive For Hopkins Youth's Act Is Unknown—Was Well Known Here
People at Hopkins were puzzled today over the motive for the suicide of Erwin Foreman, a talented musician and former college student, who took his own life at the home of his parents this morning. He used a .32 caliber revolver to end his life, sending the bullet into his left temple. Death appeared to have been almost instantaneous.

Foreman was still in bed when he committed the act which ended his life. His parents were about the premises, his father in the barnyard doing the chores and his mother was delivering some milk. Just before leaving the house Mrs. Foreman had asked her son if he didn't want to help her with the milk and he said he would.
Left Note For Mother
Mystery surrounded the note which he left, but it is understood it did not reveal the reason for his act but rather was a note of condolence to his mother.

There was talk on the streets of Hopkins today that young Foreman, just 24 years of age, had been discouraged by his failure to get a school contract in the West. However, some said he had received a favorable reply about a position for which he had made application.

Foreman shot himself about 7:30 o'clock this morning, according to the report of officers who were called to the scene in the absence of Coroner C. D. Humbred of Barnard. Virgil Rathbun, prosecuting attorney and Deputy Sheriffs C. G. McMillen and John Behm were called to the home of the parents, Mr. and Mrs. I. A. Foreman, on the south edge of Hopkins.
Was M. H. S. Graduate
Foreman completed his grammar school and high school work here, graduating with the class of 1925 of the Maryville high school. He was art editor of the Maryvillian, high school annual during the years of 1924 and 1925. He later attended the Teachers College for four years. He also spent six months at the University of Missouri where he played in a student orchestra.

He was born in Fort Scott, Kan. The Foreman family has lived in Hopkins about five years. Besides his parents, two sisters, Mrs. Roy White of Hopkins, Mrs. R. C. Smirthwaite of Loveland, Colo., and a brother, Floyd Foreman of Laramie, Wyo., survive.

Funeral arrangements have not been completed pending the arrival of Mrs. Smirthwaite and Floyd Foreman.

2 Parnell Men Drown In Platte
V. B. Gray and John Gill Former Resident Here, Die
Home Made Boat Sank In Overflow Water
Four Men, Testing Motor Craft, Tilt Bow—Two Save Selves by Wrenching Free of Victims
Special to the Democrat-Forum.
Parnell, Mo., May 31 – V. B. Gray, proprietor of a restaurant of this city, and John Gill, employed at the garage of the Roof & Gray Auto company, were drowned at 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon by the capsizing of a home-made motor boat in ten feet of overflow water near here. C. V. Roof and Clarence Mullock, also occupants of the boat, swam to shore in safety.

The boat was built Friday and Saturday and launched late Saturday afternoon by the parties. A 3-horse power motor was installed at one end of the boat, which was about thirty inches wide and fourteen feet long, making it entirely too small for four persons. The boat was owned by Gill, Mullock and Thomas Bukes.

The four men had gone about 350 yards from shore when the front end made a sudden dip into the water. Instantly the occupants hastily went to the rear end of the boat, which then took in water. The motor was located at the stern.

Save Selves With Difficulty

Roof and Mullock swam to shore with difficulty, because of the impediment caused by the two drowning men clinging to them part of the way. The body of Gray was found at 8:30 o'clock this morning by a searching party, with a long rope trawler, to which was attached large hooks weighted by sinkers.

Gray was caught by a trouser leg by one of the hooks. Another apparently struck his face, causing a large scar. It was found near where the boat sank. A search is being instituted this afternoon for the body of Gill by local searching parties and by divers arriving there at noon today from St. Joseph. It is believed the body will be recovered late this afternoon.

The water was overflow from the Platte river and was running quite swiftly through a channel cut through the valley about 400 yards from the river bed. It was from ten to fifteen feet deep where the men were motoring when the boat sank.

Wore Heavy Clothing and Boots

Gill could not swim and besides was handicapped by having on heavy rubber boots and a rain coat buttoned about him. Gray is said to have been able to swim a short ways, but apparently became frightened or was seized with cramps. He sunk soon after plunging into the water. It was Gray who nearly cost Roof his life, as he clutched his coat and took him under twice before releasing himself from Gray's grasp.

The cry for help from the drowning men was heard from shore but before aid could be rushed to them the two had gone down for the last time. Gill was 27 years old and is survived by a wife and two small children. He was constable of Independence township and Marshall of Parnell at the time of his death. He was a member of the city council here last year. He was born and reared in this community.

John Cooper, blacksmith here, is a brother-in-law of Gill, his sister having married Gill several years ago here.

Gill Formerly Lived Here

Gray was 36 years old and is survived by a wife. He was elected to the city council of Parnell at the April election. He came here from Hopkins about eighteen months ago, where he also conducted a restaurant.

The body of Gill was found by the searchers at 3:15 o'clock this afternoon a few feet east of the other body.

John Gill, who drowned at Parnell yesterday, lived in Maryville until about two years ago, when he returned to Parnell, where he lived before coming here. He resided on South Walnut street and was employed at odd jobs, generally as a laborer.

Dr. William Wallis, Jr., coroner of Nodaway county, was called to Parnell this morning, but as he was out of the city, he had not received the call at 3 o'clock this afternoon. He probably will leave for Parnell late this afternoon.

Obituary – Following an illness of long duration with a complication of diseases, Mrs. Al Kysar passed away at her home in east Hopkins last Friday evening.

Funeral services were held at the Christian Church Sunday afternoon, conducted by the pastor, Rev. R. L. McCanon, after which burial took place in the Hopkins cemetery.

Sarah E. [lizabeth] Huls was born July 4, 1847, in Fleming County, Kentucky, and died at Hopkins, Mo., February 1, 1924, aged 76 years, 7 months and 3 days. When about six years of age she moved with her parents to Marion County, Indiana, where the family resided until 1856, when they came to Nodaway County, Mo., locating near Clearmont. Her entire life since that time has been spent in this vicinity. On December 5, 1867, she was married to Francis M. [arion] Morehouse and their home was four miles west of Hopkins. To them four children were born—Mrs. Nettie Ulmer and Mrs. Lula Ringold of Hopkins, and Ora C. [larence] Morehouse of Oakland, Calif., all of whom survive her, and Edward Morehouse, who died in infancy. Her husband, Francis Morehouse, died December 27, 1895. She was united in marriage with Alvarado Kysar October 9, 1912, since which time she and her husband, who survives her, have made their home in Hopkins. Four sisters, Mrs. Alice Ringold of Maryville; Mrs. Ella McGettigan and Mrs. Matilda Lane of Clearmont and Mrs. Corella Taylor of Colorado, and one brother, Wm. Huls of Clearmont, survive her, besides a number of stepchildren, among whom are Miss Eulalia Kysar and Mrs. Coryl Morehouse of Hopkins, and also five grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren. She united with the Christian Church when young in years and has lived a devoted and consistent member of that body since. In the growth and development of the community in which she lived, none was better nor more favorably known than "Aunt Lizzie," as she was affectionately called. Her heart was full of charity and noble impulses and she was held in the highest esteem by all who knew her. Always ready to extend help and sympathy in time of sickness or sorrow, this good woman leaves a place that cannot be filled, and the community has suffered an irreparable loss. When overtaken by the malady that caused her death and convinced in her own mind that the end was near she uttered no complaint. Although her suffering had been intense and her bodily pains of the most excruciating character, she bore it all with a fortitude which commanded the admiration and sympathies of all. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, a true friend and the world is better by her having lived in it.
