JOSEPH JANA Joseph Jana, Branch, Ends Life in Village RETIRED FARM OPERATOR HAD GIVEN NO HINT Funeral Held Today at Evergreen; Victim Was 68 Years Old Joseph Jana, 68, single, who spent the holiday week in this city with his brother and sisters, returned to his home in the village of Branch Saturday afternoon and ended his life with a bullet through his brain. Neighbors of the dead man who noticed that there was no activity about the Jana home Saturday afternoon, tried to enter but found the door locked. They notified Adolph Jana, North Tenth Street, a brother, who hurried out to Branch and broke down the door. The dead body of Mr. Jana was found inside the bed chamber. The bullet had entered the head above the right temple and came out through the top of his skull. Coroner Gerald Rau of Two Riers, was notified and visited the scene but decided that no inquest would be necessary. For several years Mr. Jana had been living a retired life in the Village of Branch where he tilled a few acres. Born in 1865 near Reifs Mills, he operated a farm in the county for many years. Several years ago he disposed of the farm and moved to Branch where he continued to make his home. Early last week, he came to Manitowoc and spent several days with his brother, Adolph, here. Despite the pleading of Mr. and Mrs. Jana that he remain over New Years, he evidenced a desire to return to his home on Saturday morning. Mrs. Jana drove him out to Branch and stayed with him an hour, until the newly lighted fire in the stove had warmed the home. Mrs. Jana then bade her brother-in-law good bye and started out to her car. She said that she heard the key turn in the lock as she passed down the walk but did not give this incident any particular thought until word came that Mr. Jana had ended his life. During his stay in the city last week, the dead man gave no hint that he was despondent or intended to end his life. Survivors are one brother, Adolph of this city and three sisters, Mrs. Anna Strouf, Coffee Creek, Mont., Mrs. Emma Curry, Chicago and Mrs. William Rank, city. Funeral services for Mr. Jana were held this afternoon from the Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei Funeral home in charge of the Rev. O.A. Menke. Interment was in Evergreen Cemetery.
