Aged Wahpeton Man Hangs Self

Henry Beckman, 70 years old, hung himself in a barn on South Third Street, this city, sometime Monday. The body was found at about 7:30 the same evening. Beckman had been employed on a nearby farm and it was these people who searched for him Monday when he did not return after announcing that he was going to town to see a dentist.

Beckman came to Wahpeton in 1903, for a time operated a dray line here and later was in the livery business. In more recent years, he has been doing teamster work and helping on a farm.

Funeral services were conducted Thursday afternoon from Schmitt & Olson cha
