  [S247] Newspaper Clipping, 263/8/1856. Suicide in Fayette County Mr. Henry D. Overholt, of Fayette County, a brother of Mr. Abraham Overholt, of Westmoreland county, committed suicide about five o'clock on Friday morning of last week, by hanging himself in an out-house at his own residence, about three miles from Connellsville, on the road between that place and Mount Pleasant. Mr. Overholt was a farmer, and was respected and trusted by all who knew him. Recent losses of property, by becoming bail for others, it is supposed, unsettled his mind and induced him to commit the fatal act. Source: Washington Review and Examiner, 3/8/1856 Though the article mentions him being a brother of Abraham of Westmoreland, this is in question.
