The History of Greene County ... confirms your details on page 271:
"Tn t,he spring of 1877, Theodore Jackman, a farmer living south of town, committed
suicide. He had been attending a Methodist protracted meeting at Newark, and bad become
impressed as usual. He was an enthusiast on religious matters. Being financially
embarrassed, his mind was so burdened that he concluded to take his own life to escape the
sorrows of this world. His body was found suspended from a leaning sapling. His funeral
was preached by Rev. L. S. Knotts."
Unfortunately, this is the only reference I have for him. Good luck.
