Notes
a. Note:   N94 Kingston Freeman, June 13, 1932
 Relyea Committed Suicide at Accord
 Nelson Relyea, 55 years old, who resides about a mile from Accord village, committed suicide Saturday by drowning himself in the Rondout Creek. Mr. Relyea had been ill about a month and his illness had preyed upon his mind to such an extent that he recently told persons that he would not be around next winter, indicating that he expected to make away with himself.
 Saturday evening about 7 oÕclock he prepared to go out with a son for a walk. While the son was gettting ready Mr. Relyea left the house and walked down to the creek near his home and walked out until he came to a deep hole where he sank from sight. At that point the creek is about 15 feet deep and grappling was resorted to before the body was recovered about an hour later.
 Deputy Sheriff Mortimer H. Block went to the scene and when the body was recovered Coroner Humiston at Kerhonkson was notified. The coronerÕs verdict was suicide by drowning. The body was taken in charge by Humiston at his parlors in Kerhonkson.
 Besides his wife, Mr. Relyea is survived by three sons, Ray, Asa, and Frank, and one daughter Etta, also a sister, Mrs. Melissa Irwin, of Accord.
 Funeral services will be held from the late residence Tuesday at 2 p.m. Interment in Accord Cemetery.
