Suicide of Col. Tom Raines
The startling and unexpected news was received last Friday that Col. Tom Raines,
of Crawford County, had committed suicide. Col. Raines was the father of
Mrs. Emma Rushin, of Buena Vista, and was an aged and infirm old man. He
had been in bad health for a long time, and the sad and untimely termination of
his life was no doubt the result of his bad health which had impaired his mind.
Our people sympathize with Mrs. Rushin in her sad affliction.
