The citizens of this place were surprised to read in the daily papers of the 14th of the death of John Langdon, an old resident of Napoleon, by shooting himself through the head at Lockport, New York. Mr. Langdon had been living in Napoleon for the past twenty years, until within the past two weeks, when he disappeared, together with his wife and children. It seems as though the woman he had been living with here all these years, and who had raised him two children, now grown up, was not his lawful wife, but that he had eloped with her, leaving his wife at Lockport, N. Y. These facts were brought out by Mrs. Langdon confessing to Father Putz that she was not Langdon's lawful wife, The Rev. Father advised a separation, which both parties agreed to, Langdon going to his former home with a hope of again living with his first and lawful wife. But it seems from the dispatches his much abused wife would not again live with him, which fact so worked upon his mind that he procured a revolver, and, repairing to the yard of his old home, deliberately blew his brains out, thus ending his life. During Langdon's first year of residence here he made a respectable living, at one time being elected Street Commissioner upon the Republican ticket. But his health failed him and for the past six or eight years he has eked out a miserable existence, by selling fish upon the streets.
