Howard C. Adam, West Main Street, this borough, ended his life by shooting himself at 6:30 o'clock last evening in the living room of his home. Deceased was aged 59 years. For some time Mr. Adam was in ill health and for the past six months suffered from Dropsy. Yesterday he asked a son to get the shogun, stating he desired to shoot some birds while seated at a window facing the yard of his home. While members of the family were working in the garden they heard a shot and upon investigation found the lifeless body. Dr. H. W. Saul, of town, deputy coroner, issued a certificate of death due to suicide.
Besides his widow there survive five children, one brother and two sisters. Mr. Adam was a butcher by trade, but for several years was unable to work. He was an exceptionally large man, weighing 412 pounds, and was five feet nine inches tall. Funeral director William S. Fritz, of town, has charge.
