Died in jail or a lockup
Name not reported
A man died in the Wayne County Jail in Honesdale, Pennsylvania, shortly before the Abbeville Press and Banner printed its account in November 1892. The newspaper reported that he hanged himself during the night, and that report is the only account of how he died. His name cannot be read in the printed account, so he is recorded here without one. The report gives no details of his age, family, or life outside the jail.
Cause of death, as reported: Died by suicide. The Abbeville Press and Banner reported in 1892 that he hanged himself in the Wayne County Jail during the night.
