Akron, Ind., Feb. 11 -- Despondent because of secret trouble, which he did not divulge in the farewell note left to his family, Lumna MYERS, 31, shot and killed himself at the home of his father, Elijah MYERS, six miles northwest of Akron, Monday afternoon about one o'clock. Myers, who is single and was recently discharged from the army, used a .22 calibre rifle to kill himself. The shot penetrated his head and death was evidently instantaneous, for when his father, who heard the shot, rushed to the son's bedroom where the deed was committed, he had breathed his last. In a note he left, he declared that he had had secret troubles and asked the forgiveness of his family for his act. No reason could be assigned by his family or friends, who did not know of his having had any trouble recently. There survive the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Elijah MYERS, with whom he made his home, two brothers and a sister. Funeral Thursday at the North Bethel church.
