New York, 1895
Christopher Kelly, aged 55 years, living on Washington street, Jamaica, attempted suicide Tuesday morning by cutting his throat with a pocket knife, and then jumping into a cistern in the yard of his residence. He was seen to jump into the cistern by persons who quickly pulled him out. Dr. Flynn sewed up the wound, but gave little hope of his recovery. Kelly has been a sufferer from rheumatism, and said he was tired of living. His wife is in the Brooklyn Hospital undergoing treatment for rheumatism.
—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, May 17, 1895, p. 8.
