Iredell, Jonathan P.
Suicide of Capt. Iredell. Well Known Horsham Resident Hangs Himself. Mentally Unbalanced from Illness--Wife Discovers the Body in the Third Story of His Home--Sketch of His Life--Active in Civil and Military affairs.
Captain Jonathan P. Iredell, a veteran of the Civil war and a justice of the peace of Horsham township, committed suicide on Thursday afternoon last by hanging.
Early in the --- the captain had a stroke and a --- spell of sickness which affected his mind. He had gotten about but was not able to attend to business and this fact made him despondent.
The day before he committed the deed he felt badly and announced that he was going to Camden to see a doctor. He did go to Philadelphia and returned, but so far as known saw no doctor.
Thursday afternoon he came into the house and told his wife that he would go upstairs an lie down. She went about her household duties and towards 6 o'clock called her husband to supper. He did not respond and she went up to find him. He was not on the second floor, but in the third story she discovered him hanging to a bed post by a cord around his neck.
Mrs. Iredell promptly cut the cord and let the body down. Then she summoned help. The body was still warm. A messenger was sent for Dr. J.B. Carrell, of Hatboro, but when he arrived there were no signs of life. It was probably between 4 and 5 o'clock when the deed was done.
'Squire J.B. Goentner, of Abington, held the inquest on Thursday night. The verdict was that death was caused by strangulation from hanging.
Captain irdell came of a well known and highly respected old family, being a son of the late James Iredell. He served with distinction all through the Civil war, being promoted to captain of Company K, One Hundred and Thirty-eighth regiment P.V.
