M. Feigert and Paul H. Gebert, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Gebert, 1316 Indiana avenue. Only the relatives of the two

the groom.
The bride was beautiful in a gown of aqua marine Elizabeth crepe with charmene coat of the same shade, fur trimmed, and
blond satin bait, hose and slippers to match. She wore a corsage bouquet of bride’s roses and lilies of the valley, and a strand
of pearl beads, the gift of her attendant. Mrs. Mansil was charming in a navy blue ensemble georgette frock, embroidered in
silver and gold, with white hat and stone marten choker and a corsage of sweetheart roses and forget-me-nots.
After the wedding a reception was held at the home of the bride’s sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Walker, 2157 Grand
avenue, with whom she has lived since the death of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. F. Feigert.
A profusion of spring flowers carried out a pretty color scheme of yellow and white, throughout the rooms and a bridal
luncheon was served in appointments of yellow and white.
The couple left late yesterday afternoon on a motor trip through the southern part of the state and after April 20 will be at
home in the Miller duplex, 503 Serpentine street, this city.

TAKES HIS LIFE
_____________________
Richard Feigert takes Deadly Poison, Then Shoots
Himself.
_____________________
Despondent Over Love Affairs the Cause - Two Homes
Saddened by Rash Act - Dies in Short Time
Death in its most hideous form has again invaded the
home of a Van Wert family, the victim being Richard E. Feigert, who took his
own life about 6:45 o'clock last evening by drinking a quantity of carbolic
acid and firing a shot from a 32-calibre Ivor-Smith revolver into his head. The
suicide was committed in the door yard of the Angevine home, 308 North Wall
street.
Mr. Feigert, who had been employed as a salesman at
the shoe store of Leeson & Stanley, left there at his usual time for
starting for home, after bidding his associate salesmen, Ora Friesner and Cash
Deniston, good-night. He went west on Main street, meeting Miss Eva Angevine,
with whom he had been keeping company for two years, who is employed in the
office of Dr. R. J. Morgan, and walked home with her. Arriving at the Angevine
home, the young couple walked around the north side of the house and engaged in
conversation for about half an hour, when Miss Angevine went into the house and
Feigert turned to leave. A few moments later, and shortly after Miss Angevine
had taken off her wraps, the family was startled by the report of a pistol.
Mrs. Anglvine and one of the daughters went to the front door, at the west end
of the house, and saw yung Feigert lying just off the porch step, grasping in
his left hand a four-ounce vial and in his right hand a smoking revolver. Mr.
Angevine was, at the time the shot was fired, at the pump in the rear of the
house, getting a drink of water. Hearing the screams of the women he walked
around the north wing of the house, where he came upon Feigert apparently in
the death agony. He hastened to the telephone to summon assistance. About the
same time Carl Brown, F. V. Wilson and Fred Spayd, who were at the C. N.
freight office just across the street and had the pistol shot, reached the
scene of the tragedy. A few moments later Policeman Harry hay and Dr. C. A.
Files arrived. Feigert was still living, and he was borne into the Angevine
home and laid on a couch. Then came Dr. Flemming, County Coroner, and Dr. R. J.
Morgan. An examination showed the Feigert had drank a sufficient quantity of
carbolic acid to produce death, as the interior of his mouth, throat and
nostils were corroded. The shot entered at the mastoid, or at the base of the
right ear, ranging upward and forward and penetratating the brain - a death
wound in itself - and death came at 8:05.
The father, Mr. John Feigert, of 328 Gordon avenue;
sister, Miss Orah, and brother, Louie, Feigert, were present as the young life
of the son and brother ebbed away, but the mother of the unfortunate young man
was prostrated by the terrible deed, and was unable to go to the death scene of
her son. Coroner Flemming gave permission for the removal of the body to the
home of his parents, and it was taken there by Undertaker Vore at nine o'clock.
An inquest will be held this forenoon.
There seems to have been no other motive for the
commission of the deed than that of lovers' jealousies and quarrels, although
it is stated that Mis Angevine sought to break her relations with Feigert. It
is also said by some of Feigert's acquaintances that he said he would kill
himself if Miss Angevine refused to become his wife. These circumstances may
have created the motive for the act, and the misunderstanding of last night but
precipitated the unhappy crisis.
The young man bore an excellent reputation, stood well
with his employers in whose service he had been for a period of more than four
years, and was popular among his acquaintances, and was possessed of no bad
habits. Miss Angevine, too, bears a good reputation, and has bee for nine years
employed by Dr. R. J. Morgan in his office.
Richard Emanuel Feigert was twenty-one years old last
August, and was born in Harrison township. A sorrowing father, mother, brother
and sister survive to mourn for the untimely and tragic death of a son and
brother.
The revolver that was used was bought at Kauke &
Alspach's hardwar store about two weeks ago. The carbolic acid was bought of E.
L. Mercer at Webster Bros'. yesterday noon.
Feigert's overcoat, hat and neck scarf were taken to
the office of Coroner Flemming by a representative of The Times. In the pockets
of the overcoar was found ten 32-calibre-short cartridges and an ounce of
powdered opium which, from the paper in which it was wrapped, mast have been
carried for some length of time.
Feigert held a life insurance policy for $1,000.00 in
the Equitable Life of New York.
Miss Angevine was prostrated because of the deed, and
required the services of a physicion during the greater part of the
night.
Willshire Herald, dated March 23, 1905 reported:
Richard E. Feigert, of Van Wert, Crazed by Love's
False Dream, Takes Carbolic and Shoot Himself
There was considerable of a sensation in Van Wert
about seven o'clock last Friday evening when it was learned that young Dick
Feigert had killed himself at the home of Miss Eva Augevine, his sweetheart. It
is said that after a courtship of over two years, Feigert was jilted by Miss
Augevine. Unable to stand the shock of disappointment, he took a quantity of
carbolic acid and shot himself in the head, death resulting an hour later.
Feigert was only twenty-one years of age, and leaves to mourn for his rash
action a father, mother, brother and sister.
Ohio City News, dated March 24, 1905 reported:
Richard Feigert, a cleark in one of the
stores of Van Wert, committed suicide last Friday evening by takeng a dose of
carvolic acid and firing a bullet through his head. Jealousy over a woman is
the supposed cause of the act.
Richard was buried in Van Wert, Van Wert, Ohio. He was buried in Section 67,
row 5 of the Woodland Union Cemetery.

began to suffer from placenta previa, which, however, did not grow serious
until Saturday night, August 30, when the took worse. All that physicians could
do seemed of no avail, and she grew weaker as the morning hours grew near,
giving birth to a baby boy which had already preceded the mother to the Great
Beyond, and ws at 5 o'clock, just as dawn of day, she crossed the chasm between
here and there.
She will be missed from home and church and her place
will be vacant, for Sarah is not here but gone on.
But let us not grieve, as those that have no hope for
our beloved one has gone home and her good-bye was only a farewell till we meet
again.
May God bless her life and death to those who remain.
She leaves to mourn her departure husband, father, mother, brother, Carl, and
sister Anna, besides many relatives and friends.
"Sarah had gone to be with Jesus
All her toils on earth are o'er,
Gladly would we have retained her
Had the Lord saw that was best,
But we bow submissive to Him
And rejoice that she is at rest
For she left such blest assurance
That her soul was washed from sin.
Sarah left this world of sorrow
Those pearly gates to enter.
Her request was to her loved ones
That for Heaven they should prepare
So that when death overtakes them
They may meet her over there"
Sarah was buried on 2 Sep 1913 in Convoy, Van Wert, Ohio. She was
buried in 5th row, 27th stone from left of
