Death*

He died on 5 July 1928 at Kokomo, Howard, Indiana.¹

Obit

Lafayette's obituary was published in the Rochester Sentinel on 6 July 1928:

Kokomo, Ind., July 6. -- Lafayette WAISNER, age seventy-one, whose home is eleven miles northwest of Rochester, Ind., near Leiters Ford, committed suicide about two o’clock Thursday night in a room in the Westmoreland hotel. Leaving two notes, one addressed to his wife, and one to a brother, the aged man left no definite clue to the cause of his self destruction, except a general disatisfaction with life. He was said to be in good health, he owned property in Kokomo, a farm near Cassville and had a certificate of deposit for $1,315 in his jacket in addition to about $30 in currency. He was said to have sold a farm near Lancaster, Tenn., a short time ago and to have returned to Kokomo on April 12, his seventy-first birthday. He is said to have returned to Indiana because of his wife’s health. Hint at domestic trouble was contained in the fact that while he owned a farm near Cassville, his wife was living near Rochester and also in the farewell note he left addressed to his wife, which follows:
“Belle - If anything happens to me you get the undertaker at Miami to put me away, and there is a check in my pocket for expenses. “I have been in hell long enough. “Am feeling fine but everything is changed in town as well as other things. Hope you are as well as I am, and better if possible. “As ever your would-be husband But you would not. “As ever,“Mr. Waisner.”
Another note addressed to a brother said: “Nearly eight o’clock, Royster Hotel, 507-1/2 North Buckeye street. Should anything happen to me, call Charley WAISNER or O. LAMBERT as they are my brothers. They live half-mile east of Cassville. “Belle is so bitter towards me so I have finished it for good, and always. With love for all, good will to man. I leave no grudge or debts to settle. Tell boy. I want Belle to have the balance of the check. Don’t try to use all of it. She needs all I have left for support. Remember her, she is sick. I haven’t the nerve to take the nagging. By by. When you know it, it is done. I have my gray coat and pants in my suitcase. Don’t put shoes on me. Everything is as I want it. When I am placed in Cassville cemetery,“Lafe Waisner.”
According to Mary E. ROYSTER, proprietress of the hotel, Waisner registered about five o’clock. He then made three trips out of the hotel and returned to his room about six o’clock. About 9:30 o’clock he was heard groaning in pain and a maid knocked at the door and asked if there was anything she could do. He replied that there was not, and the maid left. Shortly afterwards, however, his cries became louder and the maid crawled through a window and unlocked the door. The aged man was found in convulsions and great pain. Dr. William H. HARRISON was called and after an examination the doctor was satisfied that the man had taken poison, but, Waisner denied that he had. When he was told that death was near, Waisner said, “I have everything written out there on the table,” and then expired. An envelope containing strychnine which had been purchased in Peru was found hidden in a closet. He had a new suit and entirely new clothing and apparently had made all arrangements in his power for his death.
Waisner is survived by the widow, Laura Belle WAISNER, who now lives near Rochester and who formerly lived in Kokomo where she was said to have been married to a man named HOOVER. Waisner also leaves two brothers, Lambert WAISNER and Charles WAISNER, both of whom live one mile east of Cassville. He had four sisters, Mrs. Laura WEIR and Mrs. Alice COLBERT who live in Ohio, and Mrs. Mattie KEPHART, Willard, O., and Mrs. Ida EUING, Kokomo. The body was taken to the Ladd and Nixon undertaking establishment where it was prepared for burial. According to Coroner W. R. MORRISON, Waisner took the poison about six p.m. and apparently lived until about 10:30 o’clock.¹
