FOUND DEAD
Body of Dr. A.C. Deputy Found in a Kentucky Corn Field
The body of Dr. A.C. Deputy, who lived east of Brownsburg, was found, Monday, in a corn field near Covington, Ky. Indications were that he had committed suicide by opening an artery in an arm, and that he had been dead for a week.
He left his home April 20, to pay taxes in Indianapolis, and intimated to his wife that he might not return. He drew $600 out of an Indianapolis bank, bur returned the money next day from Cincinnati. His wife received a letter from him postmarked Covington, and when he did not return, the police were notified and systematic search made for him around Cincinnati.
For some years he was a dentist in Indianapolis. His wife inherited a farm, and he closed his office and they moved to the farm in this county, near Brownsburg. He was 63 years old, [and] was a member of the state militia during the war. Two children survive him, Mrs. Charles R. Yoke, of Indianapolis, and Clyde Deputy, of Milroy.
Dr. Deputy was mentally deranged as the result of a severe attack of grip, followed by an accident a few months ago at his farm. He was working about a corn crib, when the structure, which was loaded with corn, collapsed, burying him beneath a heavy weight of corn and rails. He was held in this position until he was rescued by an employe [sic]. Dr. Deputy was painfully injured, but his wife and children did not think his condition was serious at the time. From that time he seemed to be suffering from melancholia, which increased until the members of the family became alarmed at his condition.
