John Lippincott Suicide, 1866
New Jersey Mirror 28 Jun 1866
John M. Lippincott committed suicide at Evesboro, on Saturday night, by hanging himself in an apple orchard, nearly opposite the hotel. He served his apprenticeship in the Mirror Office, and during that time and for some years after, he was a temperate and industrious young man. But later in life he indulged too freely in liquor, and finally became very intemperate. His sad end, considering the life he has led for sometime, is not surprising. He was about 50 years of age. This case should be a warning to those young men whose course is now fast tending to the drunkard's death.
