SUICIDE BY HANGING
----------
Lifeless Body of John Youngman of Norristown
Found Hanging in Corncrib At Early Hour Today
----------
CONTINUAL WORRY
----------
Thought To Have Led To Slight Mental Derangement
Wife, Two Sons and Two Daughters Survive
--------
          John Youngman, a farmer living on the north edge of Norristown, committed suicide this morning at his home, by hanging himself in a corncrib near his home.  Mr. Youngman had been ill for the past two years, suffering from nervous troubles of various sorts.  His neighbors stated that he worried to a great extent over his crops.  His mind was supposed to have been slightly deranged, as to continual worry.  Mrs. Youngman had left her husband alone in the house when she went to milk at five o'clock.  Returning a few minutes later, she discovered that her husband had gone, and immediately began a search, finding his lifeless body a short time later, suspended by a short length of rope in the corn crib.  Mr. Youngman was sixty-five years of age.  He has lived in Washington township for a number of years.
          Surviving with the wife, are two sons  Roy, manager of the Cave exchange and  Wilbur, a cabinet maker of this city; also two daughters,  Mrs. Dell Sparks  of Indianapolis, and  Mrs. Mae Scott, wife of Charles Scott of this city.
          The sad death of this man makes the second suicide to occur within the county in the past five days.  He was held in the highest esteem by his neighbors and friends, all of whom are shocked to learn of his taking his life this morning.  Mr. Youngman with his family, held membership in the Pleasant Grove Church east of Norristown.  He was also a member of the Masons lodge at Norristown for the past 29 years serving a post of that time as tyier.
          Stewart & Fix were called to Norristown to prepare the body for burial.  The funeral of Mr. Youngman will be held at the Pleasant Grove Church Wednesday morning at ten and burial will be made there.  The Masons will participate in the burial ceremony.
