Mr M D Keatts of this place received telegram Tuesday night apprising him of the sad news that his brother, E A Keatts of Minadoka, Idaho had committed suicide by shooting himself. No further facts were given and relatives here and in Christian county are at a loss to know what could have caused such a rash act. Mr Keatts was about fifty-five years of age and unmarried. He left his home near Lafayette about thirty years ago for the West in search of health, believing that he had consumption. He regained his health and developed into a robust man. His relatives here heard from him regular every two or three months and he seemed to be getting along well until the first of last week when one of his brothers in Christian county received a letter from him stating that he needed a certain amount of money which was small, and unless he received it at once, he would end his life. His brothers forwarded him the money by registered letter last Wednesday. I and had heard nothing further from I him until the telegram Tuesday announcing his death. https://www.newspapers.com/article/hopkinsville-kentuckian/157708788/?xid=637 News (Fatality)-KEATS Elic (Suicide) FORMER CHRISTIAN COUNTIAN COMMITS SUCICIDE • Hopkinsville Kentuckian • Hopkinsville, Kentucky • Sat, Mar 28, 1908 • Page 8
