MONROE CO. MAN ENDS LIFE BY HANGING SELF
Ill Health and Despondency Given as Motives Which Prompted Deed
Mr. Frank Burkhart, 54, farmer and lumber dealer on the Barnesville Woodsfield
road, was found dead Sunday morning, hanging from a sill in the basement of his barn;
verdict was given as suicide. General despondency over his own ill health and grief for
the loss of his wife who died about one year ago, were advanced as the motives for the
deed.
Since Mrs. Burkhart’s death, he operated his own farm and lived with his daughter,
Mrs. Elijah Wells, on an adjoining farm. He was missed Saturday morning about ten
o’clock but it was supposed he had gone to Woodsfield with a neighbor,. But when he
did not come at night they became uneasy and not until next morning did they find him
hanging in the basement of his barn.
Besides the daughter, he leaves three sisters: F. V. Burkhart, Portsmouth, Mrs.
Lucetta Haren, Mrs. Theresa Burkhart, Miltonsburg,; Mrs. Ella Zwick, Louisville, Stark
County. Funeral was held Tuesday and burial was made in Oaklawn Cemetery,
Woodsfield.

4 Sep 1880 - Haren
3 Sep 1882 - death certificateAccording to the 1920 census, both of Christina's parents were born in Bavaria.
Possibly Michael Reich? (See 1870 US Census, OH, Monroe Co., Malaga Twp., pg 30, fam 222-216, lines 9-12 (roll M593_1245). Michael Reich, wife Elizabeth. Enumerated on same page as family of future son-in-law Francis Burkhart.
In 1920, 79 year old widow Elizabeth Reich lived with the family of her daughter, Christina Reich Burkhart. Elizabeth came to America in 1854. The year of naturalization is difficult to read... 18?4. Perhaps 1864?
