Judson Warren obituary, 1910

from the New Egypt Press 4 March 1910 Judson Warren, 46 years old, residing with his sister and brother, Harry Warren, at Bordentown, committed suicide at his home on Sunday. He went into the cellar, tied a rope around his neck, fastened it to the coalbin, after which he took a razor and slashed his throat, severing the windpipe, and cut his wrists. He was found by his brother, who had gone to the cellar to fix the fire in the heater. Harry Pippitt was called in and cut him down. Warren's sister, who is ill, had been waited upon by him, and besides had been out of work for some months, which is thought to have prompted him to commit the deed.
