Jacob Burkhart (1893 - August 13, 1935) J. BURKHART IS FOUND DEAD WAR VETERAN TAKES OWN LIFE WITH RIFLE AT BROWN'S GULCH -- Jacob Burkhart,42 year old bachelor veteran of the World war was found dead in his Brown Gulch cabin late Wednesday, the lower part of his head shot away by a high powered rifle. All indications pointed to suicide and Acting Coronor Eugene McCarthy said he was satisfied that the man had killed himself. He apparently had placed the rifle barrel in his mouth and discharged the weapon. Burkhart's body was discovered by a neighbor boy who passed the cabin where the man had lived alone. Investigating, McCarthy said he found no notes or other evidence left by the man to indicate that he contemplated suicide. Burkhart's brother, who lives only a short distance away from the place where the body was found, said that Jacob had suffered a partial stroke recently and had been despondent since. Burkhart had been through several major battles in the World war. The remains were brought to theWaggener & Campbell Funeral Home to be prepared for interment.
