GEORGE HUFFMAN
JUNE 13, 1902
Sunday's Chicago papers contained an Associated Press telegram dated Louisville, Ky.,
June 7, saying: "George Huffman, who came from Fairbury, Ills., this morning,
committed suicide on a Pennsylvania train near New Albany tonight by taking morphine. He
was found unconscious and taken to a hospital in New Albany, where he died."
George Huffman has many friends in this city, where he lived. On May 28 his wife died at
the home of her parents, Mrs. and Mrs. John Cady, of this city, having been brought here
from Fairbury where, Mr. and Mrs. Huffman had been living. Following Mrs. Huffman's
funeral, Mr. Huffman went to Fairbury, where they had been residing, and departed from
there on Saturday for his former home in southern Indiana. The last his friends here saw
him he was apparently in good spirits, and they do not believe that he committed suicide,
but surmise that he was taking morphine for an illness with which he was suffering, and
accidentally took an overdose.
Huffman was employed for some time at the Chatsworth Brick and Tile Works. He was a young
man of steady, industrious habit, and made many friends among his associates, who deeply
lament his demise.
