WAR VETERAN ENDS LIFE WITH POCKET-KNIFE AT 93

Abraham Copel cuts throat at Confederate
Home and Dies an Hour later.
Using a pocket-knife he had carried since
the Civil War, Abraham Copel, a Confederate veteran, 93 years old,
severed his jugular vein early yesterday
morning and died an hour later at the
Confederate Home in Pewee Valley. He
had lived at the home for ten years and
mental weakness caused by his declining
health promoted the act. He is survived
by one daughter, Mrs. William Poulter,
of Middletown, Ky.
