New Albany Daily Ledger Standard Saturday, 21 Aug 1880 p4 c2: Suicide of Silas Lewman. Silas Lewman, aged 75 years, committed suicide near Prather’s station, on the O. & M. road, in Utica township, Clark county, nine miles from Jeffersonville, Thursday evening. A week before he went to Charlestown, ordered his coffin, and made all his arrangements for his funeral. Thursday he loaded his shot gun with a heavy charge and retiring to a secluded spot about 100 yards from his residence, placed the muzzle to his forehead and discharged the piece with the ramrod, which he held in his hand. The top of the head was nearly entirely blown off. Mr. Lewman’s body was discovered about 6 o'clock in the evening, taken home, and an inquest held. The remains were buried yesterday evening. He had been a resident of Clark county since 1816, was quite wealthy and highly respected. For several years he had been a sufferer from cancer of the face, and this doubtless unsettled his mind and led him to the commission of the fatal act. Shared by Sue Carpenter
