Take His Own Life
J. R. McPherson, wealthy land
owner and market gardener,. and for
more than SO years prominent in
the affairs of Council Bluffs, at
tempted to end his life yesterday
afternoon by slashing his throat
with a razor. Almost physicaly help
less from paralysis, he failed to ac
vcomplish his purpose through sheer
weekness, and only succeeded in
inflicting a number of bad gashes in
his throat. The wounds are not
! serious.
Mr. McPherson collapsed last
' winter when his family was almost
' exterminated by influenza. His son,
, Roy, and Roy's wife and baby died,
and another son, Russell, was
stricken, and for weeks lay at the
point o! death. Mrs. McPherson
then fell a victim to the disease and
died after an illness of only a few
days. f
The dav following the funeral of
Mrs. McPherson the husband was
stricken with paralysis and lay for
months utterly helpless in the Ed
mundson hospital while Russell
hovered between life and death in
the Ford hospital, Omaha.
Last spring after Mr. McPherson
i became able to walk a little with
f aid ot crutches he was removed to
the residence of Mrs. Harrington,
1 trained nurse, 2757 West Broadway.
