    • Suicide at St. Jacobs

      Last Thursday morning Mr Berberich of St Jacobs, father of Mr Jas [Jos] Berberich of Elmira, committed suicide by cutting his throat. Several people working near the bridge, saw him at the river's side and noticed him fall. They approached him and found that he had a cut at the throat and was bleeding profusely. He was taken to his home and medical aid called. On investigation it was ascertained that death would set in in the course of a few days. He died on Monday afternoon. The deceased had been sick and his mental faculties were affected and to this is ascribed the cause of his act.
