Obituary
DRAYMAN ENDS HIS LIFE BY HANGING
Body of George Vivian, in Ill Health for Several Months, Is Found by Brothers.
George Vivian, 47 years old, a member of the firm of Vivian Brothers, transfer men, ended his life by hanging Tuesday evening. The deceased had been in poor health for several months and despondency is believed to have caused him to commit suicide.
Richard and James Vivian, brothers, with whom the deceased had lived, found his body hanging from the rafters in their barn at the rear of their home on Cleveland avenue when they brought their horses in for the night.
Mr. Vivian was born and reared in Ishpeming and was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Frank Vivian. A brother, William Vivian, died last week following an extended illness.
Coroner William Prin decided that an inquest was unnecessary. The funeral will be held at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon from the Vivian home. The Rev. Lewis Keast, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church, will conduct the service." 2
