THOMAS FOSTER FULFILLS THREAT AND TAKES LIFE

Shoots Self While Wife Is Preparing His Breakfast

Thomas G Foster, age 60, ended his life by shooting himself thru the heart 
early this morning at his home 420 Sythe Avenue, following a statement made 
yesterday to his wife and son, that he intended to kill himself. Early last 
summer Foster had attempted to end his life by taking a quantity of sleeping 
powder and a state of unconscieousness resulted which resisted the efforts of 
physicians for two days.

In Ill Health

Foster was suffering from ill health resulting from an injury received a year 
or so ago and several times talked of ending his life, according to information 
given Coroner D.G. Heckman and Dr. F.J. Walker this morning by the family and 
neighbors.

Mrs. Foster was preparing breakfast and their three sons were dressing when the 
shot was heard.
