Obituary- Moses, Guy 1

Boy Shoots Himself
Brooding over a reprimand received at school as week caused Guy Moses, a 14-year-old boy, to commit suicide at his home near here. He was found dead in the kitchen of his parents' home Monday morning at ten o'clock. He had shot himself.

In the room with the boy was found an unsigned noted which read:
"Maybe I will do better in the next world."

Moses' trouble at school was trivial but he was scolded. This occurred early last week. He left school and ran away. He was persuaded to return to his home but had not returned to school. His parents were trying to persuade him to return to school and settle his trouble with the teacher and had hoped he would return to school the next morning. He decided not to go to school Monday, however, and when his parents left the house remained inside. He was found dead upon their return.

The father of the boy is employed at the H. Adams ranch as a laborer. - Topeka State Journal

The young fellow is the son of Al Moses who was a residence [sic] of Sandy Hook four years ago and is well known by the people of this city and Sandy Hook. The remains were taken across the river in a row boat last Tuesday to be buried by the side of his mother in the Rossville cemetery.
