New York Times 18 June 1905

Jacob Debus, an engineer, sixty-three years old, of 386 South Third Street, Williamsburg, was found dead early yesterday morning at his home. He had shot himself in the head with a revolver.

Debus was a widower, and a married son and daughter-in-law kept house for him. He always sat in an old armchair that belonged to his wife.

On Friday night the son and daughter-in-law went out, leaving Debus alone. He was cheerful when they went away. On their return at midnight they found him dead.
