Died in jail or a lockup
Allen Ingalls
Allen Ingalls died at the Cincinnati jail on the night of April 20, 1884, and a brief item in the Magnolia Gazette reported that he hanged himself. The paper gave no account of who he was or of what happened in the jail before his death. The claim that he took his own life comes from that short report, and no other source in the record describes the circumstances or how staff responded.
Cause of death, as reported: Died by suicide
Reported by: Magnolia Gazette (reporters).
