Suicide of James Reynolds, 1868
9 DEC 1869 - New Jersey Mirror:
James Reynolds, of Bass River, committed suicide, on Sunday, the 29th ult.(November, 1868). He was in the last stage of consumption, and so weak that he was confined to his bed--but he gathered strength enough to leave it and grasp a razor, lying on a stand a few feet away. Staggering back to the bed, he deliberately drew the razor across the left side of his throat, severing the main artery, and causing death in a short time. The deceased was a laboring man, about 37 years old. No one but his mother was in the house at the time of his death.
