PROMINENT MAN COMMITTS SUICIDE
Robert Yule, member of a pioneer famile of Kenosha county, committed suicide Saturday morning at the residence of his nephew, B. F. Yule in the town of Somers, near Kenosha. He hung himself to the peak of the roof of a barn on the Yule farm. He was 64 years old.
A company of friends had been entertained at the Yule residence on Thursday evening, and Robert Yule slipped away while the festivity was at its height. Nothing more was seen of him until, his dead body was found. Yule had been showing signs of despondency for some time.
Many years ago he had trouble with his wife, which culminated in the divorce courts, and since that time he had brooded.
The deceased had lived in Chicago for many years, but a year ago he went to Somers to make his home with his nephew. He was a son of the late Alexander Yule and a brother of the late Mrs. Beatrice Yule Smith of Evanston, widow of George "Chicago" Smith.
