FRED ISERLOTH ENDS LIFE BY HANGING HIMSELF ON THRUSDAY
Plymouth – After being ill for several years, Fred Iserloth ended his life Thursday morning by hanging himself in the barn on his farm at the west border of the Plymouth city limits on Highway 23. He went out to the barn at 5 o'clock to do the customary milking and other chores. His father-in-law, Frank Jackson, went to the barn at 7 o'clock to take the milk to the cheese factory and he found the lifeless form of Mr. Iserloth suspended from a beam in the barn. Coroner C. N. Sonnenburg was notified, and he made an investigation of the death, pronouncing it suicide.
Mrs. Iserloth operated his fifteen-acre farm for the last four years under difficulty, because of his physical condition, and his relatives said that he had brooded considerably over things. Mr. Iserloth was born in Town Plymouth, June 6, 1864, the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Iserloth. He was married twice. His first wife, Miss Mathilda Wehmeyer, passed away on September 30, 1914. One son, Victor, of this union survives. On June 13, 1917, he married Miss Mabel Jackson, who with two daughters, Misses Helen and Evelyn, and an infant son survive. He is also survived by the following brothers and sisters; Charles, William, Otto and Ed., all of Plymouth; Mrs. Amelia Schuldt and Mrs. Emma Schroeder, Sheboygan Falls; Mrs. John Fischer, Sheboygan; Mrs. W. P. Miller and Mrs. Robert Wittkopp, Plymouth.
The funeral will be held Saturday at Wittkopp Funeral home. The Rev. Martin Schmidt of the Lutheran church will officiate and interment will be made in the Union cemetery.
