11 September 1918 "Owen County Journal" News
WILLIAM J. SUFFAL, about 80 years old, a veteran of the Civil War and for many years a resident of Freedom, died Friday of apoplexy at his home near Worthington. During the Rebellion he was a member of Co. D, 1st Indiana Heavy Artillery. After the war he met with an accident that resulted with the loss of one leg. Two other members of his regiment, JESSE JONES of Cataract and JACOB KIPHART of Spencer, also lost a leg each after the war and the three men frequently held reunions here. Both of these comrades preceded him in death. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the home and interment was made at Freedom.
