Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, April 29, 1886 Sandy Creek News - Sandy Creek, New York - Suicide of Martin Moore - On Friday Martin Moore committed suicide on the farm of D. C. Moore, about three miles east of here in the town of Boylston. The suicide is attributed to poor health and insanity, which had troubled him more or less ever since he was 15 years old. He had been in Utica asylum for treatment and had been confined in the county asylum twice and had only been released last fall. Since then he had not lived with his family, which had scattered, but had lived among his friends and relatives. For a month or so he had been stopping with a cousin, Mr. D. C. Moore. On Friday morning he was about his usual and about eight o’clock when he was last seen, Mr. Moore left him at work in the barn, while he went into the field. About 11 o’clock a man came to purclia.se some potatoes and Mr. D. C. Moore told him that he would find Martin in the bam, who would get them for him, but he could not be found. When Mr. Moore came up to dinner he was still missing. Mr. Moore’s suspicious being aroused he found on investigation that a rope which usually hung in the bam, was missing. After going to the residence of Palmer Cross, a brother-in-law of Martin Moore’s and failing to find him there a thorough search was begun for him. He was found in the woods about a quarter of a mile from the house suspended in a tree about 20 feet from the ground and in such a maimer that if there had been any foliage on the tree it is not at all likely that he would have been discovered. It seems that he had tied a rope about his neck with a common slipknot; then threw the other end of the rope over a limb and tied it to his left arm. The body was left in a tree and Coroner Caldwell of Pulaski sent for. But he was in New York, and about night the body was taken down and conveyed to the house of Palmer Cross. The funeral took place from the Wesleyan church in Boylston and was largely attended. The deceased was 40 years of age and leaves a wife and three children.
