JACK H. QUIER TAKES OWN LIFE The body of Jack H. Quier, aged 28, 311 West Dice street, was discovered slumped by the side of the road near his home shortly before 9 a. m. Sunday, the muzzle .22 caliber rifle pressed against the roof of his mouth, according to the sheriff's department.
Deputy Coronear Raymond Nelson declared the death to be suicide. He placed the time of death about four hours before the body was found. Dr. Nelson said that a bullet apparently lodged in the skull. A suicide note was found, deputies said, affirming the statements of close relatives that Mr. Quier had been despondent over ill health.

He was employed by Ball-Band in Mishawaka.
