JOHN GOODELL COMMITS SUICIDE
Juneau, July 24 - Belated news from Sitka tells of the death, by suicide, of John Goodell, a pioneer of Alaska. Last Friday afternoon at 5 o'clock Goodell entered the bathroom of the Pioneer's Home and took his life by cutting his throat with a razor. He first slashed his left wrist with the razor, but failed to sever the artery. The news of the self-destruction of the pioneer shocked the little settlement of Sitka, although it was known that he was in financial difficulties and that his health was badly impaired. He leaves a son to mourn his loss and a host of pioneer friends throughout the southern coast of Alaska.
Interment was made at Sitka and the obsequies were largely attended.
