August
13, 1911 – Wm. L. Stubbs, 48 years old of St. Paul, was found
dead today in Calvary Cemetery, St. Paul, beside his mother’s grave. One of the
wardens of the cemetery found Stubbs. In his left hand a little card containing
his farewell words, “A better wife than mine never lived.”
Stubbs, who was born and raised in St. Paul, entered the former Powers Dry Goods Company employ in 1879, and stayed with the firm when it later was changed into the firm of Tibbs & Hutchins until it failed in business. He frequently was observed brooding of the failure of the firm with which he was connected practically all his life.
His death was a suicide caused by a gunshot to the head.
