- "Once Prosperous Business Man Feared to Face Poverty.
PLAINFIELD, Oct 5.—Made desperate
by the prospect of poverty after years of prosperity, George W. Tice,
a resident of Westfield, and formerly a New York business man,
committed suicide at his home last night by inhaling gas. His body
was discovered in the bathroom by his wife, and it was a first given
out that heart disease was the cause of death.
Mr. Tice was formerly head of the
manufacturing firm of Tice & Jacobs, Water Street, New York,
and his fortune at one time was estimated at $100,000. Business
reverses came, and a few months ago it became necessary for Mr. Tice
to get employment as a clerk. He is survived by a widow and nine
children." — New York Times, Oct 6, 1907
